  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

  • By Heavensanon Version 1.0 Welcome to Videoland, Jumper. It Is
    Captain N (Jumpchain-compatible CYOA) By HeavensAnon Version 1.0 Welcome to Videoland, Jumper. It is a world, or rather a connection of video game worlds that are VERY loosely based off of classic Nintendo games on the NES. It’s the 80s and everything is suitably dorky to match. Right now, the evil Mother Brain and her dastardly henchmen are storming the Palace of Power, the center and heart of Videoland. Her goal? To take it over, of course. But, the legendary Power Glove tells of a savior from the real world who will come to save videoland. His name is Kevin Keene, the Gamemaster. Together, he and his new friends will thwart Mother Brain’s plans in daily adventures that most certainly isn’t a botched marketing exercise from Nintendo. Nope. But that’s where you come in, right? While these worlds aren’t quite as dangerous as their game counterparts, it can still be a dicey proposition to survive if you’re not careful. Will you join the N- Team as a new member? Will you instead join the dastardly Mother Brain, or seek to take over Videoland all on your own? Or maybe you’ll just go somewhere else because this is all incredibly silly. Make it good, Jumper. +1000 Power Points for your trouble. Backgrounds: Age is largely irrelevant for Videoland Natives and Villains, and can be chosen for free. Drop-In and The Gamemaster roll 10+1d8 for age. Gender remains the same. Can spend 100 points to choose age and gender. Drop-In [Free] – It’s you! You’re dropped out of the Ultimate Warp Zone at your new location, with nobody knowing about your coming or knowing what to expect.

  • WRECK-IT RALPH by Lordcirce
    WRECK-IT RALPH By LordCirce Ah, Litwack’s Arcade. It’s been in operation for over thirty years, serving generations of youngsters for the low, low price of their entire allowance in pocket change. Just about every arcade game you can think of has passed through these doors, from old classics to modern titles. And those games hold a secret. They… are alive! Nobody knows how it happens, and nobody but the game characters is aware of their sentient status (though Litwack himself may or may not suspect something). The game characters can travel between their games via the central surge protector they are plugged into, labeled as Game Central Station. This can be dangerous, as game characters won’t regenerate outside of their games, but it has allowed an entire culture to spring up between the various titles, and now, you will have to opportunity to join them. You will enter the world as a game character, just one week before one of the oldest titles in the arcade, Fix-It Felix Jr., celebrates its thirtieth year anniversary of service. So, whether you are gonna wreck-it, or fix-it, or race-it, it is time to get started. Whatever “it” is, we’re going to do something to it, within the context of a video game. So, let’s get to it.
