THE DEVIL'S TEMPERATURE: There may not be a lot to say about Thursday night's until-the-strike's-over final episode of 30 Rock, but anything still worth saying is worth mentioning here. I thought it was just-okay for a 30 Rock episode, which is still yards better than almost anything else on television, with the musical sequence being its highlight. One of Alan Sepinwall's readers noted that none of the show's writer-characters appeared in the episode, which seems like the right touch. So grab a Jewish doughnut, and let's get on that train to the floating city of New Chicago.
[FYI: the annual ALOTT5MA Award for Funniest Half-Hour of Television of 2007 was awarded to the "Source Awards" episode of 30 Rock -- yes, ahead of "Cleveland" or "Greenzo". I thought it took the biggest comedic risks and they all paid off ("They're remarkable people, the Blacks"), and Wayne Brady + LL Cool J > Emily Mortimer. "Didn't you tell me to live every week like it's Shark Week? And that nothing's impossible except dinosaurs?"]
