Video: TV Envy Interviews 30 Rock’s Jane Krakowski
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, 30 Rock, Features
We were able to chat with 30 Rock‘s Jane Krakowski (Jenna on the show) earlier today to talk about tonight’s 30 Rock season finale. Jane gives us a teaser on what to expect in the Season 3 finale, and also tells us what it’s like to work with so many world-class comedians on a day-to-day basis. We also go into some of her work on the Breyers Smooth and Dreamy promotion, where she has shot a couple of webisodes that put her into classical movies as a modern-day woman (and they’re pretty funny.)
Check out the video above for the interview, and head on over to the Smooth and Dreamy site to enter to win a very cool Dreamy Hollywood package, which includes an 8 day trip for 4 to Hollywood, CA. Once again, we thank Jane for taking some time to chat with us today!

Thursday Ratings: Parks Weakens Without Office
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Grey's Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
Although it’s still hard to say how Southland will do against an ABC original, the series held up remarkably well in its second week. Unfortunately, the same can’t entirely be said for Harper’s or Parks. The CBS mystery lost nearly 2 million in its second week while the comedy suffered a case of the post-Earl blues.
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (11.6 million, 3.5/11 in 18-49) added on 300,000.
- Bones (8.7 million, 2.5/8) slipped by 200,000.
- My Name is Earl (5.3 million, 2.1/7) did 1.9 million less than last week’s Office; Parks and Recreation (5.9 million, 2.5/7) fell by 900,000 after smaller lead-in.
- In the Motherhood (4.7 million, 1.4/5) and Samantha Who? (5 million, 1.5/5) were both up 100,000.
- Smallville* (1.8 million, 0.8/2) was off by 200,000.

Thursday Ratings: CBS and NBC Tie Post-Premieres
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Grey's Anatomy, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
Depending on how you spin the numbers, the evening either belonged to NBC, CBS or both. The premiere of Southland won the 10:00 battle against Harper’s Island in the demos, but lost in the viewers. NBC tied CBS in the demos, but the Eye network won overall with the viewers. (Maybe we’ll just have to recalculate when ABC isn’t in repeats.)
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (11.3 million, 3.5/11 in 18-49) was up 100,000.
- Bones (8.9 million, 2.5/8) was down 100,000.
- A special episode of The Office (3.3/11) attracted 7.2 million; Parks and Recreation (3.0/9) debuted to 6.8 million.
- In the Motherhood (4.6 million, 1.3/4) lost 400,000; Samantha Who? (4.9 million, 1.4/4) did about the same.
- Smallville* (2 million, 0.7/2) fell by 1.8 million.

Michelle Obama Gets Her 30 Rock Invite
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip
Emmy award-winning 30 Rock has already welcomed a big box office earner (Jennifer Aniston), an influential celebrity (Oprah Winfrey) and a former Vice President (Al Gore). So why shouldn’t they expect to get the current First Lady as well?
At the recent premiere of his movie Lymelife, star Alec Baldwin said he’s already has visions for Jack Donaghy post-Salma Hayek. “I think my character falls in love with Michelle Obama, of course,” Baldwin told Hollyscoop.
When asked why he’d court Michelle for the show rather than her husband (the President is familiar with NBC programming, after all), Alec said it would simply be nice to change things up a bit. “The President is on TV every day, all day. So we want to get something different,” he explained.
Season 3 of 30 Rock will conclude on May 7th.
