In praise of "30 Rock's" hidden gems:Grizz and Dot Com

Rate: 5 Flag

 

kevonstageSAGawards2009012509251730rock The emmy award winning 30 Rock has the two-some G and DC (Grizz and Dot Com).  They are Tracy's  entourage that keeps him real or as sane as two people can help a neurotic person.  (In picture, Grizz is the tallest in group.  Dot Com is the next tallest standing behind woman with Black dress.)

As I play catch up on 30 Rock, I am reading what I can about the show on the web.  My loyalty is to my cousin so I am watching him on primetime as I struggle with what is going on with Grey's Anatomy on the other channel.  ( long sigh)

I prioritized. Believe me it is difficult to switch from what I know to what I don't know.  This is a big grand gesture for me.  But at the end of the day, I rather support family in their endeavors especially since Kevin Brown aka Dot Com is first family member to make the small and big screen ( http://bit.ly/2q8e1E  Kevin's facebook page ) or least the only one I know.  note to self: call cousin to check...

As Dot Com and Grizz grow in popularity I want to know I helped and watched their fame.  As I query my friends and acquaintances about the  show, I am running into blank stares and silence over the phone in South Florida.    Most of my friends are Black but I ask Whites too!  Same response from everyone they sort of heard of it but as they stutter through their explanations......  My circle of friends is not the focus group for 30 Rock.  A few (maybe 3) of my friends out of pure courtesy to our relationship are starting to watch .... and only because Dot Com is my cousin. 

The other night I said to one of my closest friends I can't believe you are watching football over my cousin.  I was razzing her but....somewhere within me I hoped she would've said "ok I will watch it".  But she didn't because after all nothing comes before football.  She is a woman who loves football.  I know that but I a girl "has to try".

One of my latest reads is that fans are asking for a webisode:  

Comment from my research: I would love to see a Grizz and Dot Com webisode! That would be a lot of fun. NBC could even do it as an episode of "Kenneth the Web Page" with Grizz and Dot Com as special guests, or whatever Kenneth does

grizzanddotcom: Should grizzanddotcom do an ep on the web?

JangoJoe: @grizzanddotcom you should do some webisodes. that would be fantastic

ericallen247: @grizzanddotcom Should #grizzanddotcom do an ep on the web? / YES! #Agreed

MargieC: @grizzanddotcom Yes! You guys need an episode on the web.

Since Dot Com and Grizz are not on every episode, a webisode might help those who want to see more of G and DC. Wow this is their 4th season, let's hope fans get what they are asking for. I missed seasons 1- 3.  I surmise there were some funny episodes after all those are the seasons that projected all of them to their current status of popularity and fame.  Art imitating life is what this show seems to be about. 30 Rock revived a couple of careers and catapulted others and made two unknowns G and DC bonafide "stars". 

Should I backtrack and watch seasons 1-3 or move forward in my research and consistently watch from here on out?  I guess it boils down to how much love I have for my cousin?  Will let you know..... lol

And you should always follow your heart, Ollie's daughter! Good stuff...
~rated this for the love you feel!
I love Dot Com and Grizz!!
Nini, I am finally prioritizing my family. Had to learn how to do this!! I am wondering with you what is cooking in the kitchen?
Tiger, thank you for being a real fan!
Been watching 30 Rock since the beginning and love Grizz and Dot Com !!

BTW: loved this: "... Dot Com is the next tallest standing behind woman with Black dress." uh... you mean Tina Fey? ;)
Like you, Ollie's daughter, I had to learn how to prioritize and make my family numero uno! Hard lessons in life, but I've done it, and happier for it.

Today, I am thinking of making use of my sweet potatoes. I plan to create a roasted, creamy sweet-potato soup! And since I am on a diet, I will limit myself to 1 cup only.

..Enjoy talking to you!
Karin, I am so embarrassed. I did not recognize Tina Fey.... in that picture!! Thanks for pointing it out to me. 8-)
i find them amusing, but in small doses. i think the producers have the balance just right on them.

i do love that show.
Is that Tina Fey? Weird angle on her: definitely doesn't look like her in that picture.

Anyway: you should definitely start at the beginning with 30 Rock. A lot of great stuff to catch up on! I hope you caught the recent episode where DotCom decided to audition for the show. It was hilarious!
Thanks Shaggylocks. I appreciate your advise. I will let you know what I decide to do.
haha.

a few years ago one late night in NY we found ourselves at a shady stand up comedy venue. There was us the Indian couple, 2 girls from Latin America and a few other foreign folks. The comedians all balked at the sight of us but grimly carried on the business of being pretty funny, assuming that none of us spoke English. Dotcom was there, and absolutely did not believe me when I said we saw 30 rock in Dubai. He was funny and I thought your cousin was SERIOUSLY cute!
Wicked Witch, how awesome that you saw his comedy routine. And yes he is a cutey pie!!! Thanks for the comment.
KB, OMG A friend and myself giggled and laughed all evening about me not realizing "the woman in the black dress" was Tina Fey. She looks different in that picture. Anyway, thanks so much for letting me know. I giggle every time I think about it.
Nini, how did roasted cream sweet potatoe soup turn out?
Thank you for asking, Ollie's daughter, delicious - so my family tells me. It was a combination of sweet and savory and spicy (we love heat!). This semi-sweet soup was wonderful paired with the semi-saltiness of a BLT. Yummers!!

Great posting today, by the way!
30 Rock is my favorite show. G&DC are underrated and should be seen more. Can't get enough.
oogah boogah, your sentiment is expressed by sooo many fans especially on twitter. Thanks for commenting
I have been a long time fan of Grizz and Dot Com. They are masters of dead pan and far funnier than Tracy. Yes to Webisode--or episode--go big!
k-9fenner another loyal fan. Thank you on behalf of my cousin! 8-) Grizz and Dotcom at-large is a 3 minute episode for the web. I need to get more information about it but it seems like it will happen.
