Tonight’s the season finale of 30 Rock. The episode is called Hiatus, which reminds me of this episode of Home Movies with the same title. (The hiatus bit isn’t mentioned until the end, but the stuff in between is worth the time as always.)

This whole Alec Baldwin mess is really putting me through a whirlwind of emotion. First I was skeezed out by him and the message. Then I felt kind of bad that he had all this shit going on with custody battles. Now I’m angry because if he has to quit it would ruin one of my favorite shows. Damn you, our too-in-depth celebrity culture!

The Office is also new tonight, though it’s not their season finale yet. Thank god none of this craziness is happening to Steve Carell.

Well, it’s been seven whole days, and I haven’t bothered to watch last week’s Grey’s Anatomy. For now I will still let the DVR capture the show, and I will decide later whether it’s time for me to pull the plug. And I think I’m going to have to watch the Addison spin-off episode, next week, just to see how they manage it.

Due to the incompetence of Time Warner Cable (dead to me), I only caught half of last week’s Ugly Betty, but strangely I feel as if I haven’t missed anything at all. Hmm.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming: This is not new, but I was amazed by the premise of Go Figure, a Disney Channel original from 2005. It’s The Cutting Edge in reverse! I can’t believe it took 13 years for someone to think of this!

Small things are cute.  Like hamsters and those tiny bottles of vodka.

• Alec Baldwin — who, by the way, is completely out of his mind if you didn’t already know that — says he wants off 30 Rock.
• Rosie’s off The View, but you knew that already.
• Drive is over.  It’s back to Arby’s commercials for Nathan Fillion.
• The real-life A.J. and Meadow Soprano are getting too close for comfort.
• Tucker Carlson is a rash that won’t go away.
• HBO has greenlit a Spielberg epic mini-series about — what else? — World War II.
