My TiVo picked up a surprise new episode of 30 Rock last night. And what a wonderful way to end the season, possibly. I think anything said in a German accent is funny. All the storylines were great: Liz and The Board ("I bought a black apartment!"), Kenny and coffee ("it's the devil's temperature"), The Germans ("Hubcap?"), Jack and CC ("I missed a vote on recreational whale torture"), and it all culminated in a Midnight Train to Georgia song and dance number with the entire cast. I think every television show needs to break out in song for no reason at least once a season.

I had thought 30 Rock had run out their new episodes made before the writer's strike so I was surprised by a new episode in addition to a new Earl and Ugly Betty. I found a list on wikipedia which list the number of new episodes left of currently running shows. Here is a select list. I did not include any shows that haven't start their season yet.
