Well, Parks and REc is not back till mid-season, I have no interest in Outsourced, and have decided to cut The Office from my viewing schedule, so the only Thursday night comedies from NBC right now are Community and 30 Rock.
Community, in its first season had ups and downs, it started strong, sputtered and then was terrific in its second half. And the premiere continued that trend of the second half. A funny and smart first episode, with a guest shot by Betty White (jeez, is she in frickin' everything now? C'mon Betty, even old people can be over-exposed---on the other hand, she does not have that long to earn anymore---More power to her!!!!) Community is the NBC sitcom I look most forward to nowadays.
As for 30 Rock. It still makes me laugh, and I feel it is trying to bit a bit less smarmy and self-satisified as it premiered. It is trying to get back to funny, not just tongue in cheek funny, and I think it is a good idea. It was a good first episode, and it was funny to see the relaxed Jack, with the scruffy beard and long hair! I think and hope 30 Rock will make a big comeback from what I thought was a mediocre season last year.
