My main takeaway from this is that we need a new Star Trek series with just Jeffrey Combs and Rachel Dratch playing every role.
30 Rock
A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.
Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.
Rules:
- All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
- No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
- All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
- Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
- Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
- No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.
Yes, except one role for Robert Picardo for them to play off of.
Should I finally watch this "Star Trek" that everyone is talking about?
I watched Boston Legal nine times before I realized it wasn't a new Star Trek.
Weirdly I still laughed at that joke even though I've never seen either. lol.
Orphan Black?
Not the new one, though.
There's a new Orphan Black? Already?

All 10 episodes of season one premiered on November 3, 2023, in Australia on Stan. It premiered on June 23, 2024, on AMC, AMC+ and BBC America.
I loved the original, and I'm always wary of sequels, but I'll check it out. Thanks.
It's not the worst thing in the world, but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it good. It's definitely not better than or even as good as the original.
Rachel Dratch was supposed to play Jenna Maroney, but NBC decided she wasn't hot enough. She was all over the first season of 30 Rock as a consolation.
I 100% feel they did Dratch dirty, but at the same time, I really enjoyed Krakowski as Jenna and cannot imagine anyone else playing her. Dratch is also a fantastic character actress, and I really enjoyed all the various one-off roles she played through the show's run.
I did not know that Weyune is also Brint, or Brunt, or whatever his name is. Cool!
