The Cleve/Why Aren't You Watching "30 Rock"??

Henceforth, Cleveland, Ohio will only be referred to as "The Cleve"--thank you, Jack Donaghy*!

--------------------------------------------

*If you don't know who Jack Donaghy is, I'm not sure I want to be your friend.

Because that means you aren't watching "30 Rock".

(NOT to be confused with "Third Rock from the Sun"...very different shows...)

And if you're not watching "30 Rock", that can only mean 1 of 3 things:

1. You're Amish and don't own a TV.

2. Your exhorbitant pornography expenses dictate that you can't afford to pay your cable bill and, therefore, have no way of enjoying the brilliance that is 30 Rock (the funniest show on TV).

3. You're simply retarded.

So start watching 30 Rock--that's an order!! (Would I lead you astray? Pffft. As if!!)

It's smart, clever & altogether witty television...which is generally the kiss of death for a television series (See: "Arrested Development" or "Sports Night" for examples of this phenomenon)!! It needs your viewership--and you won't be sorry!

Here's the thing about 30 Rock: The genius of Tina Fey is such that for every 6 or 7 intelligent jokes that are made, there is at least 1 ribald poop joke catering to the lowest common demoninator viewers/everyone's inner five-year-old--there's something for everyone!!

Anyway, Jack Donaghy is the slick (& hysterically funny) NBC executive on 30 Rock as portrayed brilliantly by Alec Baldwin (who, quite deservedly, won an Emmy this year for his performance in the role). This show, regularly & literally, has me rolling on the floor laughing and Jack Donaghy is often the reason. And, thanks to Jack Donaghy (or the writers of 30 Rock, to be more accurate), we now get to call Cleveland: "The Cleve"! Which is infinitely more fun than saying "Cleveland"....and I'm not even sure why....

It's true, "We'd all like to flee to The Cleve", but only a few of us are so lucky! :)
