30 Rock Praise (Part 1 of 2)

Enough of ranting! My new favorite TV show is 30 Rock. By far. 30 Rock is superbly written and is always coming up with fresh content for Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. Jane Krakowitz fits her character, Jenna Maroney so well because she just seems like the person she plays in the show. All of the acting is great, including Tracy Morgan, even though he plays a goofy, delusional, washed up movie star. His character is great because he always says something completely backwards and weird and is always doing something that causes problems for Liz Lemon. The writing for the show is amazing like I said before, Tina Fey plays such a quirky, odd, and problem filled character that fits so well with Alec Baldwin's problem solving, high class business man. They are such a dynamic duo even though they have never dated and never will. Their relationship is symbiotic because Jack Donaghy (Alec's Character) and Liz (Tina's character) need to each other to solve each other's problems. Without Liz, Jack goes crazy with the need to help someone else's life and be their mentor, and without Jack, Liz has so many unsolved problems that she just lets herself go and is a real wreck. I will continue my review of 30 Rock in my next post, coming in about 2-6 days.

Ghost Television Shows

Does anyone else notice how many fake "Ghost Hunting" shows there are now? I think ghosts could be real but I mean television companies are really flopping with "The Ghost Whisperer" and "Ghost Hunters". IT's really quite sad! Can't writers come up with new, exciting and original ideas for shows anymore? It seems like they just rehash old shows hoping no one will notice! I hope everyone agrees with me when I say: "No more bad ghost TV shows!" Also, the Discovery Channel and  the SciFi never ceases to surprise me with a new fake ghost TV show every year, featuring fake "Professional Ghost Hunters" going into "Haunted Houses" and seeing or hearing "suspicious noises" all over the place. I mean how hard is it to get someone to go upstairs and walk on the floor loudly, then scream and claim it is the ghost of the lady who died in that house. Also a common ghost hunting TV show move is to move around furniture or open and close doors off camera or  in the corner of the screen and then yell something like "Oh my god! The ghost just moved the furniture to signal that he doesn't want us here!" Just super cheesy things that these mindless TV shows seem to recycle and use to death.

Crime TV Shows

Am I the only one hates the new crime tv shows? None of it is interesting, it's just about women getting raped or tortured. Can't TV show writers be a little creative? We want to see some interesting television with a good plot and good characters. I haven't seen A good crime TV show in a long time. Most shows now just focus on people getting tortured but never really change the plot of the episode. They just change the location, the names and the methods, never really changing the structure of the show. The episodes almost always end with the Police or FBI team saving a victim at the last second before he or she is about to be killed. The show that least surprises me every time I watch it and never seems to change is Criminal Minds. This show never changes its episodes plots and it is full of women getting raped and tortured. I do however think that CSI: Miami is occasionally interesting and veers away from the stereotypical crime TV show structure.
