I Like to Watch

It's official: "30 Rock" is the funniest new show on television. Plus: Tyra Banks' condescending clown routine reaches new heights of absurdity.

    30 Rock

    I understand both sides, when I started watching 30 Rock I didn't find it all that funny or interesting. That is until the Rural Juror episode, I was laughing my ass off at that one! That episode it was just good bit after bit. So I love Earl, The Office, Scrubs is a snore fest and 30 Rock is now my new love, but I wasn't all that impressed in the beginning.

    Plus I love the Tyra hate! She's a great looking woman who wanted to be more than just some dumb model, fine, she wanted to show the world that modeling is harder than just being pretty and standing still for pictures, fine, but now, now she's some sort of walking hyena with psychophants trailing her every move and since she's got total control there's no one controlling her, oh how I miss Janice who would actually argue with Tyra's feel good Plus size models or being so crazy herself she made Tyra look tame by comparison!

    I will say about the modeling through it, I thought that was pretty ridiculous too, look I'm dancing and my shoe fell off! - then there is a major Victoria's Secret runway show and I catch the clip where the models shoe does fall off and she models through it! She doesn't stop and put back on the shoe, she just walks on her toes. So maybe a lot of what Tyra does seems lame to us, but maybe it really is useful advise! Plus I'm pretty sure that Tyra had to come up with something bad against Caridee to give any suspense to the show at all, regarding the hypothermia it was clear from the first episode that Caridee was pretty much guarunteed to win compared to all the other girls.
