(S02E13) "That was so easy, like taking candy...from one of those guys who gives out candy at gay nightclubs."

Sorry this review is a little late this week. 30 Rock is one of those shows that I have to watch once, take notes, then watch again quickly so I can make sure I didn't miss any good lines. And this episode, like all 30 Rock episodes, had a lot of great lines.

But if there's anything that I took away from this episode, it's this: the porn video game that Tracy invented better be revisited in a later episode, or sold in the NBC online store with the mugs and t-shirts.

(S05E17) As I got into this episode, two things occurred to me. First, since next week is the season finale, when did they decide to cut this season to 18 episodes? More importantly for our purposes here though, this episode felt very familiar. It took a minute, but when Lois and Mayor West got to the debate, I remembered what it was. The main story was very similar to the season two episode, "Running Mates."

The name might not be familiar to you, but you will instantly recognize the face. The character actor died of lung cancer today in Italy at age 57.

Wow. That's young.

Schiavelli was in a ton of movies, from Ghost to One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest to Tomorrow Never Dies. He was also in the films Amadeus, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Batman Returns, Valmont, and Man on the Moon. He was also in several TV series, including Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, Family Guy, Dharma and Greg, Miami Vice, MacGyver, Melrose Place, Who's The Boss, Trapper John, M.D., Night Court, Taxi, and Moonlighting (he was once married to Allyce Beasley, who played Miss DiPesto).
