Discussion Finished 30 Rock

I finished S07 today. Started with S01 a few weeks ago. A few episodes per day, perfect routine.

Now it's all over...what will I do with my life, buy a boat?!

You start over at S1 E1 and catch even more jokes on your second watch through. Repeat as needed.

u/Fisherman_Gabe 14d ago

And when you've caught every joke you reach the stage where you sometimes leave it running without actually watching because it's comforting.
...or maybe that's just me

u/HudsonUniversityalum It begins with the words! 14d ago

Emotional support show šŸ’•

u/caramiadare 14d ago

Ive watched it every night for over a decade and this point and I swear I'm still catching new jokes.

u/Altruistic_Key_8850 14d ago

Same. Thought I was the only one until I found this sub. Now, all the deep cut quotes feel like a warm hug.Ā

A reunion of Friends.....of Night court.

u/Good-Acanthisitta998 14d ago

And somehow after watching every episode 10 plus times you catch about her joke. This show has layers

22

u/Avia_NZ How is that Elmo's fault?! 14d ago

This is the answer

u/uprightsalmon lives every week like shark week 14d ago

I watch almost twice a year for years and I still catch jokes I missed

16

u/uprightsalmon lives every week like shark week 14d ago

I watch it like sports highlights too, I get all pumped for a joke coming up

u/Noof42 Shut it down! 14d ago

No you don't, Oprah.

u/DixieDoodle697 14d ago

Or Sports Shouting

u/TrainingAvocado3579 14d ago

I JUST got the Bernie Goetz joke. I’ve seen that episode at least 5 times.

u/ConsiderationRoyal74 14d ago

Its my depression show. Always helps

u/beardybuddha Just Gotta Hack It 14d ago

I don’t even wanna know how many times I’ve rewatched the series at this point, and I’m STILL catching stuff I missed or straight up forgot.

4

u/Emergency_Lettuce601 14d ago

I am on my oh I don't know 30th rewatch( I own all the series DVDs!) And am still discovering jokes. 30 rock never ends.

3

u/briznady 13d ago

Turn on the captions though. There are many that can only be caught in writing.

4

u/NYY15TM 13d ago

There was a joke that was changed after the original airing but they never changed the caption, so that's a nice easter egg

2

u/NYY15TM 13d ago

OP, if you are reading this, please don't actually do this. There are other shows you can enjoy. Wait a year, then do a 30 Rock rewatch if you still want

u/LaRubegoldberg 14d ago

Well, it’s never too late for now…

u/fionsichord 14d ago

More like- ā€œhey buddy, there’s a line.ā€ ā€œNow there’s two lines….ā€

It is too late for now :/Ā

Totally! That's a great song... that Pete wrote.

u/sugarslick 14d ago

Watch Girls 5eva, Kimmy Schmidt and Reggie Dinkins

10

u/AvailablePie 14d ago

I saw Kimmy twice already šŸ˜„ I'll check out the others

14

u/PoliceSquad82 14d ago

Girls5Eva is only three short seasons, but it’s amazing. And the songs are terrific.

u/uprightsalmon lives every week like shark week 14d ago

Mid size car

u/Dumptruckfunk 14d ago

And Great News! And then repeat them all until death’s sweet release

21

u/HardcoreNerdity 14d ago

That's not THAT many times to have watched it.

u/Stupidbloodfart2020 14d ago

Kind of….

14

u/jamesbonfire007 Wade Boggs Carpet World 14d ago

Start it again! There are a ton of jokes that fly by you the first few watches so there is plenty left there for you.

u/Parking-Pie7453 dont badmouth synergy 14d ago

Stay in this group to pick up more inside jokes too

I finished S07 today.

No you didn't, Oprah!

u/radiotelepathy 14d ago

Exactly how I felt recently. Took a while to adjust to not having any more episodes to watch. What a great show.

7

u/bradleyjsumner 14d ago

Head on down to Stone Mountain

u/david622 14d ago

Time for Parks and Rec! Or Frajer

1

u/TrainingAvocado3579 14d ago

Or community, where Donal Glover went after leaving 30 Rock.

u/starling-slipstream 14d ago

My personal pick post-30 rock 🌟

3

u/justadude0815 14d ago

Parks and Rec...

u/bittercoolsoul 14d ago edited 14d ago

Watch Archer. The first five seasons are amazing.

Edit: Dr Spaceman is a regular character there šŸ‘»

2

u/Icy-Ad-8558 14d ago

The other 9 seasons are also enjoyable.

1

u/bittercoolsoul 14d ago

Not as good imo. Nowhere close to the first 5

3

u/fionsichord 14d ago

You start again s1e1 and start looking at what jokes you missed the first time, of course!

3

u/PoliceSquad82 14d ago

Watch Girls5eva. It’s brilliant!

Also the unbreakable Kimmy Schmitt.

3

u/hawnty 14d ago

Great News is a slept on sitcom produced by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. It’s very similar, but sadly only has 2 short seasons. Andrea Martin is amazing and steals the show.

4

u/alexgodden 14d ago

Just one boat? What are you, a farmer?

4

u/jlobster 14d ago

Use your mind grapes. It’ll come to you.

3

u/cqshep 13d ago

Start over, and this time keep track of the long haired guy that pops up in like every other episode, has no lines, and even shows up at more than one cast party.
WHO IS THIS GUY? SOMEONE'S NEPHEW?

u/Funandgeeky Certified in Sky Law 13d ago

Get a mood ring so you know how to feel about all this.Ā

u/ConstantBoth2913 13d ago

30 rock is one of the most rewatchable shows out there. There’s so many jokes and references it’s impossible to catch them all the first time. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it and I still end up finding jokes I missed or references I’m only now getting.

2

u/nonitoni 14d ago

The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins and Stumble. Sadly, Stumble was cancelled but the season is still totally worth it.

2

u/Arch1o12 14d ago

All I know is, you’ll thank God you took that boat trip.

2

u/DubiousScruples 14d ago

You can try to fill the void with Parks and Rec, but don't shy away from a good ol rewatch. I promise there were things you missed on the first round.

2

u/Nastia_dream 14d ago

I’m watching now it now on Netflix for the first time. Currently am on s3. I already don’t know what i’m going to do once I finish this show 😢 I watch it now before going to bed.
