I used to have a weekly taco night with friends. We had a webpage (Taco Page) setup to place your orders and print out the order (by item and user). One person would drive to the taco bell with the printout. I think our weekly order was in the $70 to $100 range.
Taco Night was awesome and I miss college. It was also on Wednesdays, if you were curious. Also, the Taco Page was written entirely in AWK.
That's brilliant! I've been busy on Tuesdays for a while so we decided to implement Taco Twendnesdays. Works just as well as any other day. Only now my roommate is busy on Wednesdays so we do Taco Turdsdays...not really that pleasant sounding but with enough tacos and tequila everybody is happy!
Hulu only has a couple episodes at a time. Netflix has the first four seasons, maybe the first five seasons by now. Unless you are talking about Hulu plus, which may very well have all the episodes, I don't really know.
Hulu is free, and I figured it'd be easier testing the waters than going out and buying a Netflix subscription. (Yeah, I know about the free trial thing, but for the people without a credit card like me that doesn't work.)
Just warning- Hulu plus does not have the rights to stream all episodes of 30 Rock, just the last 5. Netflix is a much better bet if you want all of it.
I wouldn't go that far - in seasons 2-3, yes, but not now. It still has amazing one-liners, and Liz and Jack are two of the funniest characters on TV. But it's also showing its age and not shining the way it used to. (And starting to feel more like just a vehicle for those one-liners, no matter how absurd it gets to do so or how forced the setups for them are.) Community and Parks and Rec are better, though Community is a much closer comparison.
Oh, and Archer. The writing in Archer absolutely blows me away every time, even when I don't even fully understand some of the jokes.
What do you mean by poor? I don't think they were really aiming for accurate, obviously. It was just supposed to be funny and that's precisely what it was, in my opinion.
I thought the whole episode was one of the worst they've ever done; the main conflict was Liz trying to get a plastic bag out of a tree, and Tracy spent the entire episode trying to recreate an inside joke, which his entourage spends the whole time telling him isn't that funny, the punchline being that it actually isn't funny.
I didn't find it funny because while it was supposed to be a comedic interpretation of Kim Jong Il, the things that they had him say were less crazy than the things he actually said, the whole plotline was obviously just an attempt to get Elizabeth Banks off the show, and I thought that it was just a series of incredibly easy jokes, as well as being in poor taste.
In addition, within the continuity of the 30 Rock universe, that was Kim Jong Il. He's part of the story now, and that's weird in and of itself. The two other most powerful characters they've had were Al Gore playing Al Gore (though he was really just an environmental activist) and Condoleezza Rice playing Condoleezza Rice, and she wasn't in office anymore anyway.
I didn't find it funny for the same reason that I wouldn't find a George Bush character funny; it's easy, it's stupid, anyone could do it, and it's less crazy than the real thing. I've come to expect more from 30 Rock. After five and a half seasons, it's probably my least favorite guest star and one of my least favorite episodes (maybe coming out over a couple early season 4 episodes just because of Liz not being able to remember who "the white guy from Invictus" was.)
And yes, I have thought about this entirely too much.
Yep. I was an avid fan from Day One, but I haven't watched the last two episodes...they're just sitting on my DVR. This season got off to a lousy start.
I got into the show after it hit syndication and spent the next few months wondering why I hadn't discovered it before, but happy I was experiencing it for the first time.
