Tracy Jordan on St. Patricks Day in 30 Rock

I am writing this one up before the week is over but I plan on watching Tracy Morgan host SNL tonight. I haven’t watched one in years(!), but he’s been such a laugh on 30 Rock I can’t help but not check it out. Especially after I didn’t watch when Alec Baldwin hosted a few weeks ago. Have you seen the Wii sketch from that one? You should. I also might check out Kings if I have nothing doing on Sunday night. They posted a bunch of positive buzzy quotes during commercials and Entertainment Weekly suggests it is worth checking out. I don’t know though, I don’t really want to watch MORE shows. I really need to watch less!

That said, I did miss watching Lost in the middle of my week. That’s been something to look forward to at the start of each week. Well, here’s what I did get to watch:

Chuck: The super spy Brit doesn’t get Sarah. Phew. Chuck and Sarah individually reaffirm feelings for each other, just not necessarily to each other. Robert Picardo makes a guest appearance and he is always welcome. Chuck does get a lead on the creator of the Intersect. I hope that if this doesn’t get renewed for next year we will get a satisfying season-ender.

Big Bang Theory: Terminator and Firefly girl Summer Glau is on the same train as all the nerds. Only Sheldon doesn’t care. Suprisingly it is the mute-around-girls-Indian kid — actually easier to type than looking up and typing his name — hits it off best with her until Wolowitz reveals to him he’s been drinking O’Douls. Yeah… it was that weak this week.

How I Met Your Mother: Laura Prepon shows up as the latest will-she-or-won’t-she be the mother? My money is not, but we’ll see. Last week’s Entertainment Weekly stated they’d reveal, or at least introduce, the character that will be by the end of the season. Marshall forgot his pants. I hate when that happens.

Reaper: Sock continues to struggle with wanting to get busy with his new step sister. I still can’t decide if that grosses me out or not. Nothing biological, but dude, once you know, you can’t go, right? Bengie hooks up with a hot demon. That’s going to go well.

Smallville: I guess we know what happens when the world finds out Clark is Superman or a Red-blue blur. Good thing the Legion gave him a ring to fix that mess. For me, it came down to the end with Clark blowing off Lois. He knows she’d take the secret well, so why not go for it? Is he better as the lonely hero?

The Office: Knock, knock. Who is there? It is the KGB. Why does the KGB have a German accent in all cases? Because no one can do a Russian accent? Still funny for the intro and exit of the episode. In fact, the funniest bits in the show period. Okay, Michael playing Wonka was kinda funny, but there weren’t lots of laugh out loud bits here. I did like the gang uniting against Michael for being so spineless about his idea. Oh, and Darryl’s quick bit in the warehouse was good too. “Start over.” Oh… and then Michael’s “in all seriousness, what’s a pallette?” And Kevin saying what was on his mind to the woman he met last week. I guess it was better than I thought in the middle.

30 Rock: Dr. Spaceman and Tracy ruled this one. I kinda wish Spaceman’s drug killed Jenna… you know, fictionally of course. At least he was still good in a slightly larger dose. Tracy’s advertisements were awesome. I want those towels. Wait… no I don’t. Jack’s mini-microwave provided some laughs too. A good recovery from last week’s horrible episode. Best quote of the week courtesy of Jack:

(After Jenna falls asleep and Tracy yells “wake up Motherf…” while hosting the parade on TV)
Passing out… and cursing… on St. Patrick’s Day? Is nothing sacred?

Friday Night Lights: Okay, so it turned out to be Tammy (with Coach in tow) to Tyra’s rescue. She did call Landry first though. I’m sure they will put those two together again, right? Riggins started to regress a little bit but of course he came around. Kind of funny — not really — that kids like that get into school just to play sports. Doesn’t lift a pen in high school and probably won’t in college as long as he can run with the rock. Saracen makes up for the fumble earlier in the year. I caught the preview for next week and I’m thinking getting caught in bed with Coach’s daughter can’t be a good thing…

Dollhouse: Seems like they backed off the mythology a little here this week. Not necessarily a bad thing, but the episode just wasn’t that good without it. Sure, Mr. Dominic tried to kill Echo, but that was about it. I know they are setting up the Alpha reveal and it is supposedly someone we’ve already seen (I read that somewhere; EW?). Makes you think it is the FBI Agent, but that might mean he’s got a multiple personality disorder for that work out I think. Turns on and off, plus, wouldn’t those back in the Dollhouse recognize him? They know his face.
