The powers that be over at 30 Rock (namely Tina Fey) have finally revealed the title for their “world’s first” porn video game.  The title?  Gorgasim: The Legend of Dong Slayer.  Yes, it has a that certain catchy vibe that just never lets you forget it once you’ve heard it–no matter how hard you try.

30 Rock has steadily become one of television’s finest shows.  In fact, it’s easily the best sitcom on right now.  Part of that winning appeal comes from its biting satire that has really taken off in the show’s current second season.  Thursday’s episode turned to video games of a decidedly adult nature.

Someday, comedy and satire classes should be taught using Tina Fey’s infamous “Bitch is the new black” monologue, and contrasting it with Tracy Morgan’s “Black is the new president, bitch.”  Morgan stumbles his way through the jokes, and the punchline is the one part delivered with any confidence.  The problem is that it really isn’t all that funny in lieu of Fey’s.  Fey was being irreverent a social commentator.  Morgan, in comparison, feels like the little kid on the playground shouting back, “Nuh uh, my dad can beat up your day!”  Morgan can be very funny in the right circumstances, such as Fey’s 30 Rock.  But here, he just mostly feels stale.

Mariah Carey is one of those artists that somehow sticks around although no one you know still listens to her.  How does she manage it?  Just one of life’s great mysteries.  Beyond that, though, her new video is a true enigma.  Mariah Carey has gone geek?  Kenneth from 30 Rock is her costar?  She’s asking for faster Internet and crooning about YouTube?  Has the whole world gone nuts?  The short answer is, of course, yes.

Friday Night Lights is heralded by many as the best show you’re not watching.  In which case, it joins The Wire, Battlestar Galactica and 30 Rock as other best shows you’re not watching.  Whatever the case, many fans were upset that the low rated drama seemed on its way out, but a deal struck between NBC and DirecTV seems to have saved it.  Under the deal, episodes will apparently premiere first on DirecTV exclusively, before later airing on NBC.

It appears to be similar to the deal NBC struck with USA (both part of NBC Universal) to have Law & Order: Criminal Intent premiere on USA before moving to NBC.  It’s an encouraging trend for the networks who can no longer afford some programming outright, and for fans who wish to see their favorite series saved.  Rumors persist that the Sci-Fi Channel might be interested in a similar deal for CBS series Jericho.  However, those are just rumors.
