Prime Picks
30 Rock (NBC): Repeat. In “Reunion” from last season, Jack gets Liz to go to her high school reunion.
30 Rock (NBC): Repeat. In “Apollo, Apollo” from last season, Tracy gets his childhood dream fulfilled.
30 Rock (NBC): Repeat. In “The Problem Solvers” from earlier this season, Jenna and Tracy decide to try and help everyone solve their problems. This is one of my favorite episodes of the season thus far.
30 Rock (NBC): Repeat. In “Dealbreakers Talk Show No. 0001” from earlier this season, Jack tries to make Liz’s new show a success, but things don’t go well. This is a favorite as well. The HD bit is one of the funniest things on the show all season.
