After an amusing if uninspired pilot episode, I was interested to see where the series would go as it starts to spread it’s wings a little. In its second episode, GCB follows Carlene (Kristin Chenoweth) and her bitch posse as they continue their hate-on for Amanda (Leslie Bibb), which involves bringing their children into the game. Hell hath no fury like Texan women scorned, but Hell hath no annoyance like a bored critic.

True to the title of this week’s episode, Tina Fey and co. meet, but don’t exceed, the standards of 30 Rock’s uninspired-yet-still-enjoyable sixth season. ‘Standards and Practices’ has fantastic one-liners and sight gags, but it also has stories that have already been told in other (and sometimes better) ways.

Here are the winners of this week’s 30 Rock-Does-Things Awards… [Read more…]
