Kimmie Lucas and Kelsey Laine have a real good time recounting the entire 30 Rock series, episode by episode on their podcast, Talk 30 Rock to Me.
They were nice enough to have us on to talk about the “Gavin Volure” episode guest starring Steve Martin.
In prepping for it, we almost found a conspiracy theory. Listen and you can find out what sort of weird rabbit hole we descended into.
NBC did let Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt get away.
However, it would seem that they’re not going to make the same mistake with another show from the minds behind 30 Rock.
So, with that in mind, catch the series premiere of Great News, the new show from Fey, Wigfield and Carlock (who delighted us all for years at the aforementioned 30 Rock) tonight at 9PM on NBC.
From the promo, there’s promise of something that could be really good here.
You can get in on the experiment here.
Comedy specials from Rory Scovel and Matt Besser, Kids in the Hall, SNL, Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, Before the Morning After, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, 30 Rock, The Office, The World of Alan Partridge, Funny as Hell, Brazil, Fletch, Monty Python (series and films), The UCB Show, and oh so much more are now available at the convenience of some keystrokes, some clicking, and $3.99 a month now that Seeso, NBC’s exclusive comedy streaming service has officially launched.
In case you weren’t already enticed, you can sign-up for Seeso here.

The SAG Awards just announced their nominations and you might be not surprised that 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Modern Family, and Veep got nominations.
However, it was nice to see Bruce Dern and James Gandolfini get nominated for Nebraska and Enough Said, respectively.

Creative Arts Emmys 2013 Awards Winners
Congratulations to Children’s Hospital, Louis CK, Comedy Central’s Night of Too Many Stars, South Park, 30 Rock, The Daily Show, Portlandia, and more for picking up Creative Arts Emmys last night for the good of televised comedy.
Hopefully, one day, short form and animated series will be recognized on the big night in the normal Primetime Emmys for simply being shows as opposed to the creative arts surrounding the shows.
