Watch30 Rock has its groove back. The current episode, “Retreat to Move Forward,” (view on Hulu.com here) has plenty of what the early episodes contained, but what the most recent episodes have lacked. Lots of bite-the-hand-that-feeds-you jokes aimed at GE executives (including the hilarious clip above, a jab at Six Sigma during an executive meeting called “The Retreat to Move...

One of the reasons I set up this tumble log was to comment on a topic about which only a small percentage of those who read my blog share my obsession: The Tennessee Titans.
