If NBC had any sense of dignity or proportion or anything regarding sanity it would be ashamed. This “Green Week” stuff is by far the most disgustingly and absurdly fake idea that has ever been hatched. As a television network, NBC exists entirely to waste. Nothing manufactured by NBC will ever solve an environmental problem, and in fact almost everything NBC ever does (measure its success by how many people pump electricity into their TVs at the same exact moment, advertise wasteful products, buy lakes full of gasoline simply to transport props, pay to keep shows on hold during the WGA strike, pay people to act on “ER” 8 seasons after it should have been canceled) is environmentally damaging either directly or indirectly.

It is so offensive for NBC to devote a second of its programming to preaching about “all this ‘green’ crap.” Al Gore and David Schwimmer made this week’s episode of “30 Rock” almost completely unwatchable, and only the genius intervention of Ken’s very last party saved the episode. Tina Fey, you are skating on very thin ice. I kind of secretly hope that shit gets canceled during the strike.

Ugh. If “Friday Night Lights” follows suit tomorrow with the green crap I can promise you I will never watch that program again.

On a positive note, “Office” opted out of the green trope by putting Michael out in the wilderness. Overall, a pretty decent episode. The final moments between Jim and Michael were fabulous, although bittersweet — that could be the last “Office” moment for a long time.

I would attempt to express my outrage at last night’s craptacular episode by aping Seinfeld (”What is the deal with these writers?” Eh, it never was my strong suit) but frankly I’m too disappointed to be cute. This was by far the worst episode of “30 Rock” and part of me hopes they get canceled for it. Didn’t Jerry Seinfeld used to be a funny person? He definitely sucked the funny out of the room last night. I think a little bit of me died inside.

Seriously, this was extremely disappointing. Pretty much everybody who has reviewed “30 Rock” has said that the pilot was bad and that the show improved, but at least the pilot episode made me laugh. Last night’s episode was like watching candy fall into a vat of shit. You want to be excited because it’s candy, but you can’t ignore the fact that it is coming into contact with shit. It was so bad it is actually making me angry at 10:30 in the morning the next day. I did not laugh one time. Please Tina Fey, be more funny next week.
