Episode 122: "Live From Studio 6H"

Anything can happen on live TV, and this week's Go To There analyzes the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of what it has had to offer.

When Jack decided TGS has costs Kabletown too much money being a live show, he plans to convert it a taped presentation, and it's up to Kenneth to save the show. Will his memories of failed live sitcom finales, racially tense live shows, and other sketch programs be enough to sway the cast and crew to stay live, or will the promise of two work weeks a year be too good to pass up?

Additionally, Jenna wants nothing less than to be proposed to on live TV by Paul, but when they try and tell Jenna she's doing it for the wrong reasons, will it convince her ego to step aside for the benefit of their love and relationship?

Just like 30 Rock's previous live episode, there are numerous differences in the different airings (airings that legally impossible to find online) and we do our best to point out and share the differences for the audience. The risk of live TV is arguably rarely worth the reward, but 30 Rock has proved with sharp writing and talent, you can pull it off. Just lose the blackface next time so more viewers can experience it all and the whole idea of losing history by losing it to history because of an outdated minstrel stereotype and racially insensitive themes.

Episode 121: "Murphy Brown Lied To Us"

This week's 30 Rock aims to make you as comfortable as possible, while making you possibly uncomfortable simultaneously.

As Jack is ready to introduce his newest Kabletown undertaking to the masses, he's soon reminded why AMerican workers aren't as highly praised as his 1950s mindset wants him so hard to believe. Can he save his new endeavor, or like all Americans, weasel his way out of it?

Elsewhere, Liz and Criss discover an old box of adoption stuff from Liz's past, and their relationship must cross a bridge they each believe the other isn't sure wants to cross.

Finally, Jenna is spiraling out of control with the latest celebrity fad: public celebrity breakdown. WIll her plan to win Paul work, or is he left in Kouchie's soft arms forever?

Don't worry, we won't ask you to listen on a Kabletown Kouchtown couch, but get comfy, nerds, Go To There is here!

Episode 120: "Meet the Woggles!"

It's time to grab your giant ribbon-cutting scissors, as it's time for a new Go To There!

When Kouchtown is officially open for production, Jack's attention is pulled when Colleen (Elaine Stritch) is in town unbeknownst to him for heart surgery. But when Liz is there to try and get them to have their final "talk", will she be able to get them to do so, or will Colleen rather die than talk to Jack?

Elsewhere, Jenna is continuing her sexual walkabout, steadily checking off numerous items, but her most audacious task of bagging a children's entertainer, a non-Aboriginal Australian, AND being the Yoko Ono of the band may lead her to run back to Paul before it's too late.

Finally, Tracy's eldest son, George Foreman, has been accepted to Stanford but Trtacy doesn't think Jordan men are right for college and aims to convince him to drop out and stay with him. Can the entourage and 30 Rock crew convince Tracy otherwise?

In a rare episode where everyone else is the more racist than Liz Lemon, this is a standout episode on 30 Rock's sixth season as we wind down to the finale. So grab your Joey and make sure your walkabout always leads you back home!

It's time, Go To There gang, time for those self-evaluations, and we can only hope in the end you're not the worst person you know; but the at the least the fourth!

As Liz and the TGS crew learn that Tracy lost his sense of smell, she aims to get it back for him. And when it benefits her and the show greatly (mostly because she smells like his long-lost dad) she must decide the moral and ethical decision to do what's right.

Meanwhile, after a prank embarrasses Jenna, she strikes back, to get caught up not only in a prank war, but also the self-effacing decision that she may be the worst person she knows. Can the prank wear help Jenna discover something about her self?

Finally, thanks to the self-evaluations, Jack thinks Pete has stagnated in his position and aims to re-shape in him into a more outstanding man. Unfortunately for Pete his life was fine before Jack's involvement and only gets worse with each new lesson.

As we're nearing the season 6 finale with each episode, we're reaching the end of the series more and more rapidly. These characters have become of the most memorable dummies TV has offered, so stick with us to the end!
