Teared up at The Office finale omg I can’t believe it’s over

Even though I liked 30 Rock better this was definitely a more emotional ending

Shout out to The West Wing fandom for being so nice and welcoming to all these new fans (like myself) since Netflix put the show online.

Seriously you guys are the best, I almost can’t wait to finish the series so I fangirl out with you.

The West Wing: Where the fandom is as a great as the show.

THIS.

I don’t like to think of myself as a member of a “fandom,” but I’m about as big a fan of TWW as they get… And it’s so weird but wonderful to see so many people just getting into the show. I started watching (live) with my parents during season 4, which was (holy FUCK) ten years ago, and it’s been one of my all-time favorites since. I’ve gotten friends into the show as recently as this semester, I’ve bonded with best friends over our shared love, shit, my coach even started watching it and has been updating me with his progress at practice. And it’s just damn wonderful seeing people fall in love with a show you’ve loved for years

TL;DR I think one of the hallmarks of a good fan is that they want to share the joy they get from their favorite show/movie/book/whatever with as many people as they can. And I like that the West Wing Tumblr community really embraces that.

Friends pre-Season 1 promo - Underwear

I love how at the end it says “Friends! Between Mad About You and Seinfeld!”

CJ or Leo should be number one but I'm ecstatic that Jordan broke the top 10! »

Bartlet should be number one I mean really

But C.J. at number two is totally deserved

ABBEY SHOULD BE TOP FIVE NOT SURE WHY SHE’S ALL THE WAY AT 14

And Danny Tripp and Amy Gardner should both be higher

(also I’d be really interested to see how Newsroomers fit into this but tbh I think Will and Charlie are the only ones deserving of mention)

Note to self: TV shows to start watching when I have the time

  • Archer
  • Mad Men
  • Try an episode of Girls so I can be justified in hating it
  • Community

Great TV shows, great fake names

I just want to get Regina Phelange, Burt Macklin, Anastasia Beaverhausen, Astronaut Mike Dexter, and Chareth Cutestory all in one room just to see what happens.

The Mindy Project got renewed for a second season thank GOD

I was terrified it was going to be deemed too “quirky” to be popular

And with The Office and 30 Rock ending/ended and Parks and Rec on life support I needed something to retain my faith in television and this was it

This news made my day tbh

"

We have shows like 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation struggling to stay on every season, and shows like Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory having no trouble at all. Shows like the latter two, which capitalize on trivializing women and their roles or attempting to put them in “their place,” become the most popular and successful shows on TV. So this poses a grander question: Why does our society enjoy sexism so much? Or, more importantly, why is our supposedly progressing world so opposed to breaking this sexist quo? You might say that it doesn’t matter – it’s just a TV show. But it’s not “just” anything. Everything matters, especially television. Everyone enjoys television, and until that arena of entertainment can employ more ladies and create shows that demonstrate the depths of different types of characters – women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community – our society that is so incredibly susceptible to what’s on that silver screen is going to continue to inherently absorb sexism.

So when shows like 30 Rock go off the air, that precious air time is replaced by shows that still present women as sex objects, dumb blondes, nagging wives, emotional coworkers, or ugly neighbors. We, unfortunately, still live in a world where a show run by women is a landmark, but we have to hold tight to those landmarks and make sure they keep breaking down those discriminatory norms.

CBS’s “Most Watched Network” commercial pisses me off so much

They’re only the most watched because they produce shitty lowest-common-denominator television like Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men and don’t try in any way for quality over mass appeal

Go home, CBS

I decided to make a list of my favorite 30 Rock running gags. I’m going to miss that show so damn much. 10. Trashing NBC9. Product placement8. Jenna and Mickey Rourke7. Bad NBC shows6. Breaking the fourth wall5. Jack in Tracy’s dream sequences4. Kenneth’s age3. “Muffin Top” and “Enormé” backing tracks*2. Rachel Dratch as all minor female characters1. “Shut it down” *I couldn’t find a good video for this, but in a lot of the club/dancing scenes the backing track for “Muffin Top” is playing, and in a lot of romantic scenes (especially in Queen of Jordan episodes) the backing track for Jenna’s “Enormé” commerical is playing
