Why I Love 30 Rock

In 2006, two television shows came out that were about late night comedy sketch shows. One of them was more serious than the other, and got canceled after being on for a year — that was Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The other turned out to be the very hilarious 30 Rock.

Free WiFi at Best Buy

Last Friday, I did my yearly social duty and visited my CPA in Manhattan to do the dreaded taxes deed, and to assuage my aching heart and walloped wallet, I always first visit Circuit City on the corner of 14th Street and 4th Avenue in Union Square to put my hands on all the latest technology.  Unfortunately, Circuit City is now kaput — but I was pleasantly pleased to see a Best Buy store in the same Circuit City spot.

NBC Fails Jay and Conan

In the biggest recantation since New Coke and Coke Blak, NBC/Comcast are rumored to be reversing their ridiculous removal of Jay Leno from “The Tonight Show” and pushing Conan O’Brien back into the late night boneyard where he belongs.
