Resurrecting this ancient conversation because this just came to mind. Also tagging my current account in hopes that it will cause this comment chain to actually federate out to that instance: @SatyrSack@feddit.org

that line’s at the 5:31 mark

On your Blu-ray, is this two-part episode actually two separate episodes? On mine (which is bundled as a “complete series” as opposed to being just “season 5”), the two parts are instead combined into one long episode. There is no “To be continued, dummies”, “Previously, on 30 Rock”, or the credits scene of some clips from previous episodes. Instead, the scene with Liz and Dennis arguing outside ends, then the scene with Liz, Kenneth, and Jack in the elevator begins. The OJ line is therefore around the 26:31 mark.

Both episodes had initially aired on the same day, so my guess is that they had later edited it as two distinct episodes for syndication/streaming, and that that is the cut that had ended up on earlier Blu-ray copies.

Another couple jokes that I know differ in some places, and I am curious about what they are on your copy:

1. S3E13, “Goodbye, My Friend”, 4:30: Does Becca mention Ne-Yo or Chris Brown?
2. S1E18, “Fireworks”, 8:10: Does Tracy bring up his stand-up about using a phone, or does he show his white foot?

On my copy, it is the former for each.

Forget trying to go straight. I’m going back to working under that bridge!

Sounds like a dirty word

Yes and no

Normally used for the CIA but also used for agencies like the ATF, FBI, etc. Their inability to blend in to the native population’s habits, patterns and speech makes them stick out like a sore thumb to the population, hence they “glow in the dark.”

It is small and cramped in adult hands.

Same reason phones often do not come with accessories like a charger, cable, earbuds, etc. any more.

Reminds me of the screens on the Enterprise-D

They are focusing on the dry part of the term. Using a liquid during the process goes against the dry part.

No, the bridge is too well-guarded.

That is a common urban myth.

But is space (and its resources) truly infinite?

Traditional broadcast TV is the horse-drawn carriage business in an automobile world.

“We make horse buggies and the first Model T just rolled into town.”
“We’re dinosaurs…”
“We don’t need two metaphors. That’s bad writing. Not that it matters.”

EDIT: Is that last line there also another “Studio 60 vs. 30 Rock” joke?

Apparently most NBC affiliates refused to air it because aside from simply promoting the upcoming fall schedule, it heavily endorsed the then-new streaming service Peacock. They saw that as a potential means of leading viewers away from them.

I think they mean that the “Wobblies” and the “Pinkertons” just sound like a bunch of cartoon characters or something.
