I love 30 Rock. I had last week's episode saved on my DVR for when I got home from vacation. Imagine my shock, as I watched the episode and heard Alec Baldwin mention my hometown of Port Arthur, Texas on the episode. Can you say "surreal?"
Guess what, you're totally famous. During "Small Town News" last night, Dave Letterman featured a classified ad about cows from "The Beaumont Enterprise" in Beaumont, Texas. I said to myself, "Oh, that's where Laurie lives."
Here's a link to a show recap: http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/wahoo/index/php/20070423.phtml
Cleveland got a pretty great shout-out on 30 Rock...that song about the city was terrific! I was dreading the sort of condescension that New York heaps on smaller cities, but I thought it was affectionately done. And the idea that Cleveland sees Tina Fey as a fashion model because she's thin was hilarious! Lots of funny 30 Rock stuff at http://www.cafepress.com/hoganstore/2312608
Pokerboss - I'm not smart enough to watch Jeopardy. All those smart people piss me off.
Lorna - There...and there.
Anonymous - I thought Cleveland was treated very nicely as well. If they meant for it to be sarcastic, it didn't come out that way. It was really kind of sweet.

Bahaha! That's great. :)
I think I heard that too! We actually get that show over here.
Jen - I was freaking out! Nobody ever mentions Port Arthur, Texas on television unless they're talking about Janis Joplin.
Texas Gal - Weird, right?

La Sirena - Wow! Twice in one week. Now that's weird, too.
I love it when Beaumont and/or Port Arthur are in clues on Jeopardy! Nobody ever gets those right.
Where? and where?

Anonymous must not know how much smaller Port Arthur is than Cleveland.
