Fuck the strike, watch 30 Rock

So I just got around to watching last night's 30 Rock, and you all need to go to nbc.com and watch it RIGHT NOW. Definitely the funniest episode this season, and being the cleverest sitcom on TV right now (yes, it's better than the Office - I've declared it so) that means a lot. I laughed harder than I do at the Schrodinger picture. I mean, it managed to make David Schwimmer seem funny. DAVID FUCKING SCHWIMMER! I wouldn't believe it if I didn't watch the episode myself.

"Mr. Lutz, you ate all of my parakeet's medication. Thanks to you Sonny Crocket has been having seizures all morning."

"Mr. Jordan, I saw you steal my sink"

Fucking classic.

are these new episodes of shows ones that were written before the strike or did they hire scrub scab writers?

Written before the strike, for the most part; especially since the strike was imminent, a lot of shows wrote as many scripts as they could - though a few like the office have stopped production entirely (steve carrel walked on until the strike is over). If I remember right, the strike had a few contingencies, to allow some daily shows, like the daily show, to keep being made, but I'd have to check. Regardless, there's maybe a week or two left of most shows.
