Hey guys! It turns out I'm your moderator, and I came up with the best "30 Rock" quote I could think of for the moderator thread title. Questions for me can go here, or you can always feel free to PM or e-mail me.

I love "30 Rock," so I'm really looking forward to this.

Yay!

Just a couple of suggestions...

For the media thread, it would Rock (heh) to have it subtitled

"And you can read about that on the interweb!" or "Yeah, Suck It! We Do Read The Newspaper!"

For the Survival Game, I humbly suggested "Corporate Downsizing."
TWoP Mars
Great ideas. Done, and done.
Said Avery
Sorry to nitpick, because it's a great title, but the quote for the media thread (if we're going by the episode dialogue) should be: "Yeah, suck it! We do read the paper!" Not the newspaper.

I know "Rocketeers" is for the characters, but will there be actor threads as well?
TWoP Mars
For now I think the actors and characters can be talked about in the same thread. If it seems like any particular actor is getting a lot of discussion we can parse it into two separate threads. I prefer to keep them together if possible, though. Thanks!

Not sure if you will know this as you are the mod, not the recapper, but will season 1 be getting weecaps or recaps or will you just pick up with season 2?
TWoP Mars
You're right: I DON'T know that. I'll be anticipating those weecaps (if they come) just as much as the rest of you.
Said Avery
Can we fix the spelling of "obsessed" in the "You know you're obsessed when..." thread?
TWoP Mars
Of course.

Hi, I remember in the old Studio 60 thread there was some sort of "Studio 60 as a whole" thread that was sort of a nice catch-all to talk about the overall gestalt of the show, beyond specific episodes, characters, or elements.

For instance I might want to mention something that I've noticed in the writing for multiple characters, over several episodes. Would that be possible to have a thread for that? (I can't think of a catchy name for the thread, but could if the answer was yes.) Or which existing thread would you suggest for that sort of thing.
TWoP Mars
Yeah, that's fine. You can call it "Discussion of all seasons" or whatever, with a clever subtitle if you can think of one.
TWoP Mars
Just a reminder that if you want to post about the writers strike as it pertains to "30 Rock," it's OK to do so in the Media thread. But if you're posting about other shows or the strike in general, please take it to the TV Industry Watch thread.
Bachmann
Would it be appropriate to start a thread for things like 30 Rock production trivia, set decorator's humor, "easter eggs", and the like? I'm thinking about things like the sign over a storefront in ep 1-21 that said "Needmore Drug Counseling" (haha) or another poster's mention of a sign held outside of the Today Show window that said "Time Travelers Like Matt Lauer-Tron". Maybe name the thread "Theater Tech, Lefthandedness, and Work Sneakers"?
TWoP Mars
Bachmann, I think that sounds like a good idea. Go ahead and open it.
TWoP Tennison
Hey, everyone. I'll be your mod for the next week. Mars will return next Thursday. So if you need any help of a modly nature, I'd be the one to PM. Thanks!

I don't really have a question - just want to say that I think it's great you have a thread on this show! It's refreshing that after all these years, TWoP has finally decided to let sitcoms in!
TWoP Mars
In case you don't read the announcements area of the forum (and you should; changes are afoot), you have probably noticed some color change in this forum.

Strega announced it a few days ago, if you want more information.

How about a merchandising thread? The show has at least three different official t-shirts, a bobblehead toy, and the usual NBC mugs & whatnot. Or could the DVD thread just be expanded to include all merchandise?
HotBlooded
My DVR has a new episode listed for tonight ("Sandwich Day") but I don't see a new episode thread. Will one be created?
TWoP Mars
arc, a merchandise thread is totally fine by me. You definitely don't have to ask to open a new thread. If it's not relevant, I'll just close it later, but if it's a thread you've seen around TWoP, I'm probably OK with it.

HotBlooded, someone opened one — which is what should happen if I forget to open it. I should have opened it early as usual, because I was out watching Ira Glass at the movie theater tonight.
TWoP Mars
Just want to let you all know I'm heading off to a wedding (mine!) and honeymoon, so I won't be around here for the next four weeks. Other mods will be filling in, though; so be nice to them (I know you will be), and have fun.
TWoP Roxy
Hey guys, I'll be handling this forum for Mars for the next week, so if you have any issues, feel free to PM me or post here. Thanks!
