30 Rock = The Muppet Show

A friend shared this from Brian Lynch's blog:

30 ROCK is a rip-off of THE MUPPET SHOW! (http://bloglynch.blogspot.com/2009/06/30-rock-is-rip-off-of-muppet-show.html)

Lost me on Exhibit A. I'm not big 30 Rock fan, but in the handful of episodes I've seen I don't think I've seen any evidence that they actually ever make a TV show. They just seem to gather near one and have wacky hijinks.

Not only that, but when viewed through Kenneth's eyes, everyone is a Muppet (http://www.hulu.com/watch/64637/30-rock-apollo-apollo).

Nice try but Lynch's thesis falls apart pretty quick.

Still, 30 Rock is the funniest show on TV next to The Simpsons. And anything that calls attention to that can not be all bad.

Pretty funny. The links were rather entertaining.

I'd say that any show about putting on a show would involve the same basic characters.

There are worse things to imitate well.

Amen, my sister.
