I'm hooked on these

A few weeks ago I started watching 30 Rock on TV. It's on Thursday nights after another favorite, The Office. After watching 2 episodes, I was hooked. So much so, that I'm getting caught up by watching season one via Netflix. This show has so much smart humor packed into 30 minutes (really about 20 minutes without commercials). All of the characters are unique, funny and of course, a little weird. I love it because it makes me laugh - the hysterical laugh that I need so much after a dreary Thursday at work.

For real world TV and serious, yet fun, financial info, I'm a Suze Orman fan. She's been around for a very long time but I never paid much attention. My coworker got me hooked. With today's financial situation, she has tons of good advice. And what I love about her show is that the advice is for the everyday average person. There is one segment called "Can you afford it?" which can actually be hilarious. Her show is on Saturday night. Also she seems to be making lots of guest appearances on other shows throughout the week. Caution: she can seem a bit goofy on her show. I think she is just trying to make a dry subject interesting - how else could you expect anyone to watch a show about finances and not fall asleep. She's great!

Haven't see Rock yet...is Jon Hamm in it every week now?
I like to watch Suze too...also haven't seen her show but have seen her on Oprah and read her column in a magazine I get.
Will have to check the show out.
