The TV Addict Week in Rewind
December 2nd, 2007
Funniest 30 Minutes of the Week: 30 ROCK
If you are [for some inexplicable reason] still somewhat skeptical that writers are worth the money — look no further than this week’s 30 ROCK. Tina Fey is the new Jerry Seinfeld. And assuming Ben Silverman plays his cards right — the saviour of NBC.
Life Lesson #1 of the Week: DEXTER
Thanks to DEXTER, fans everywhere now know the number one rule when covering up a crime. Don’t leave the evidence in your apartment.
Life Lesson #2 of the Week: FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
The #2 rule: Don’t walk into a police station and confess to a crime nobody knew you committed. Landry you’re killing us! Sorry, bad choice of words. But seriously. Things are not looking good for you.
Big Disappointment of the Week: NEGOTIATIONS
The fact that the WGA and the AMPTP didn’t even come close to reaching an agreement.
Bigger Disappointment of the Week: CARSON DALY CROSSES THE LINE
To protest Daly crossing the picket line, this TV Addict is officially on strike from watching LAST CALL WITH CARSON DALY. Which would undoubtedly have a larger impact assuming we ever watched the show to begin with.
Biggest Disappointment of the Week: HOUSE’S CUTTHROAT BITCH
Cutthroat Bitch we hardly new ya. And what we did know, we’ll miss. We can only hope you somehow contract a mysterious disease that ensures you find your way back to the hospital — and soon.

30 Rock was so funny this week, just a perfect episode.
Okay-now I have to admit I don’t watch Last Call with Carson Daly, but give this guy a break. 75 workers could lose their jobs if Carson Daly continued to halt the show for his four writers. I’m all for the writers being better compensated — but I’m not thrilled how they have gone about some things.
1) they worked to get extra scripts wrote before the strike so shows could still be produced for awhile —- then they have gone and tried shutting down shows that were still in production, I don’t get it. Why did they bother writing extra scripts.
2) they have been picking and shutting what to shut down. They’ve protested at DH, Scrubs and such — but I’ve heard nothing about protesting locations of movies. I keep seeing pics from Star Trek, they’re not disturbed by the writers.
3) they way they’ve treated Ellen, and now Carson Daly.
yes I think the writers should get respect and they are not paid nearly enough (compared to what others in the industry make). The actors are paid so much more. But I also think the whole industry is paid too much. I know, the studios make huge amounts of money so I really do think they should work toward meeting the writers demands.
I just feel sorry for those who aren’t the writers and work week to week at their jobs on the crew. WIth this being Christmas, they could use their pay too — and I have a feeling a costume or set designer doesn’t get a cut of the DVDs sales.
Broadway figured it out– come on studios, WGA you can too
