The geniuses at 30 Rock are at it again.

It just keeps getting better.

If anyone ever complains to me about the state of television (particularly comedy) today, I will certainly point them in the direction of 30 Rock. After being shocked that the Office didn't win this year's Emmy for Best Comedy, I decided to check out 30 Rock to see what could have possibly beat it.

And now? I get it. It's one genius episode after another.

This episode was called Cougars and primarily revolved around Liz Lemon dating a younger guy (17 years younger and legally unable to drink, to be precise). While that was funny enough in its own right... the fact that Jenna had to--predictably--try to one up her made it even better. Then again... maybe that's not why she was "dating" a 12 year old... but I'm not betting on it. (Cue Liz: "where did you two meet, an Amber Alert?")

Even better was the fact that Jenna initially tried to hit on the 20 year old coffee boy only to get Liz's reaction of "give it up Jenna, you're talking to an ultrasound!" And yet, she still allowed herself to be talked into the date, and boy am I glad about that. Because had we not... we would never have heard Liz begging "I'm 37... please don't make me go to Brooklyn!" The awkwardness of the Lemon is one of the few things I need to get me through my Thursday night, and that comment alone made me want to hand them the 2008 Emmy as well.

And back in the land of Jack Donaghy, Kenneth the Page, and Tracy Jordan... the fact that the three of them attempted to coach an inner-city baseball team together is reason enough to watch the episode. Beyond the fact that the kids suggested their greatest role models to that point were R. Kelly and Michael Vick, they thought Jack Donaghy was a king... something I'm sure he'll not soon let us forget.

And most importantly, Tracy introduced the title to his upcoming book about the topic and it reminded me of possibly my favorite quote from the Office of all time... so I leave you with those.

Dwight Schrute: Right now the title of Michael's book is 'Something Weird is Going on... colon... What Did Jan Say?' The Michael Scott Story. By Michael Scott with Dwight Schrute.

Tracy Jordan: Betrayal... colon... what really happened with my baseball team... comma... disaster at Knuckle Beach... question mark

Not sure which I like better, but those are two books I'd certainly love to read.
