30 Rock. Season 3, Episode 13. "Goodbye, My Friend" A tribute to Harry And The Hendersons.

Even an average 30 Rock is lots of fun. I don't think there were any moments in this that had me laughing very hard, but I have to marvel at an entire episode build around the Harry And The Hendersons movie.

Law And Order. Season 19, Episode 6. "Sweetie" A writer is murdered, but it turns out that he was an actor pretending to be the writer, but it turns out that someone else did the writing...

I admit I got confused by this one. By the time we got to the courtroom and the sad, pathetic fan was testifying I completely couldn't keep track of which Sweetie was which. Or maybe I didn't care.

Speaking of the sad, pathetic fan I adore Heather Matarazzo (from her time on Now & Again) so I'm a little sad that the whole episode hinges on Cutter telling her she's ugly so she will testify to the truth and they never make an issue of it.

Bastards. They need to go watch the Cheers episode with Allyce Beasley as "Coach's Daughter".

Road Runner. Film 2. "Beep, Beep" It reuses the 'can't read' gag from the first film, but I don't mind because it really makes me laugh this time, too. It's an usual episode. Lots of it is done underground and the view we get is of dots running around tunnels. Don't remember any other Road Runner movies being like this. But I like it.

Best gag? One of those gags where we are waiting and waiting for the pay-off. Early on in the story, Coyote booby traps a glass of water and... RR totally ignores it, and... nothing happens. Much later, while out of breath and really thirsty Coyote happens by the glass of water...

Boom!

Gotta love it.
