What the what? It is really over. What a brilliant series finale! I am always curious with series finales or at least the ones that are planned. Abrupt cancellations leave very little resolution with cliffhangers meant to drive you insane. Though I almost prefer that a show gets cut down in its glory than produce a super-sappy sunshine and rainbows and puppies type of finale. It can feel like they were just phoning it in with the happily ever after.
But that is definitely not the case with 30 Rock. As the internet keeps pointing out, the final season of 30 Rock has been one of the best ever. Tonight still had the feel of a typical episode with its jokes and absurd plotlines. But this time it was mixed with the gravitas of saying goodbye and moving on.
It is no secret that 30 Rock has become a huge influence on my life. I see myself in Liz Lemon, as I'm sure many of us do. My daily vocabulary consists of obscure quotes, whether or not others realize it. Sure it can border on crazy obsessive. I built a little shrine to the show to bid it farewell. But isn't that what Liz Lemon would do if her favorite show was ending?
And it is not gone forever. 30 Rock lives on in syndication so I can get a daily fix before going to bed. Nevertheless, saying goodbye to a favorite show is tough. You set the bar high, dear friend. Lemon out!
(Okay, ending this now before you think I need a padded cell.)
