You probably already saw this on John’s TV on DVD post, but here it is again — 30 Rock season two is out on DVD today!

Should you choose to purchase it, there’s a lovely variety of goodies to indulge in from deleted scenes to a table read of the “Cooter” episode to a filmed version of the episode they performed live at the UCB Theater in New York (remember Kyle’s run-down?). There’s also a Brian Williams cast interview that is lovely, but looks like it was shot with a camera phone.

Here’s a sample deleted scene.  Get it while it’s hot, because NBC/Universal has a habit of taking down YouTube clips of scenes they’ve provided to bloggers — citing copyright laws.  Well done, guys.

The other night I watched the season premiere of Private Practice because I couldn’t sleep. And as I cursed the fact that I had to get up in six hours, I thought again of how much potential this show wastes (especially since I watched the premiere of Pushing Daisies just before it, and oh, Lord, that show is spectacular).

No, Shonda, I will not pretend to be chased by a swarm of vampire squirrels! I am not a puppet!

The cast, for one. I haven’t seen this many great actors in one place with so little do since Vanity Fair’s noir Oscar portfolio. Audra McDonald, for starters. The lady has FOUR TONY AWARDS. She’s basically the modern incarnation of Broadway, and not only is she saddled with truly ugly costumes because Shondaland’s costume designer is apparently only used to dressing the Meredith Greys of the word, but the whole series is basically a referendum on this overwhelmed, emotionally incompetent single mother whose superhot husband just abandoned her one day, and now she eats cake all the time. I…ow. Merrin Dungey, wherever you are, well done at getting far, far away from the quicksand.
