For the first time, the oh-so-meta 30 Rock discussed the Comcast buyout of NBC/Universal from erstwhile parent company GE (fond adieu, Sheinhardt Wig Company). This time around, Comcast is called Kabletown ("A fine and generous company," as Tina Fey/Liz Lemon turns to the camera and says. Aw, that's 'cause they don't have Comcast in Manhattan).
It was an excellent episode considering 30 Rock's mediocrity of late (you guys gotta be feeling that too), with many of the best lines coming from Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) about the Comcast/Kabletown buyout. At first, he doesn't think it will go through, telling Liz, "A company from Philadelphia buying a company from New York? That's like Vietnam beating the U.S. in a land war."
Guest star Elizabeth Banks is also coming into her own as pundit Avery (if you watch this episode, above, for anything, it should be for the blink-and-it's-over Brian Williams cameo). Also, Kenneth (Jack McBrayer), as always, kills it (see: donkey spells).
I'm interested to see where else Upper Darby's Tina and Co. go with the whole Kabletown thing. I figure it's an opportunity for a whole slew of guest star Kabletown execs, maybe even a trip to Philly (call us, Tina).
Jack probably won't come, though. He sums it all up when he says with great disgust, "These people are from Philadelphia!"
