I’m watching 30 Rock for the first time and am currently in season 5. Jonathan’s character arc to me is odd - he initially started out as super competent, but it seems now he’s just listing over Jack like Smithers to Mr. Burns.

A quick search on this thread shows people really love him, but I find him annoying. Without spoilers, does that change, or is it just me and I’m missing something?

My husband, unfortunately, is a 30 rock unappreciate-er and almost every day I tell him the 30 rock joke of the day. This is the second time he ever laughs! I usually explain the context and the joke, and he cracked up at this.
We were watching Dune, and I said that if I was in war like them, I would just lay down and say this^. Funny stuff. What are your favorite or recently used 30 rock jokes?

I was not at the show but saw a lot of people commenting about how Lonny Ross was in the audience and had to buy his own ticket to attend. I mentioned it to my husband, who literally watches 30 Rock every night to go to sleep. He immediately laughed and told me it was OBVIOUSLY a bit that they did, referring to how Josh was always treated.

Now I am not sure, it seems like a really subtle joke if true, but as we all know, the show always loved hidden zingers that you only notice later on.

Thoughts?
