OK, so I gave it another chance.

Harriet still isn’t funny (or all that talented from what I can see), the back-stories are lame and uninspired, Matt’s “brilliant writing” is far from brilliant…or close to writing as the absolutely horrible show-within-a-show demonstrates.

Indeed, the series feels like a heavily watered-down version of The West Wing, dammit.

On the other hand, 30 Rock is much better than it has a right to be.

An overheard conversation at the Y after Ben’s swim lesson:

Tony: Why does your Dad call you “Sir”?

Ben: Because he respects me.

Tony: You call your Dad “Sir” too?

Ben: Yeah, because I respect him.

Tony: That’s weird.

Ben: You should try it.
