Episode 137: "Hogcock & Last Lunch"
Here it is nerds, the finale to 30 Rock and Go To There. Come on dummies, we can't waste too much time, there's a lot happening here this week! As Liz starts her new life as a stay-at-home mom, she's quickly thrust back into the world of TGS before the second act can even begin. As Kenneth notifies her that one final episode of TGS must be created of NBC has to pay 30 million dollars to Tracy, will Liz be able to leave the TV world behind? Elsewhere, Jack is doing well in his new CEO role of Kabletown, and despite reassuring Kenneth he's happy, has accomplishing his dream satisfied him, or is there nowhere else to go for this Alexander of the corporate world? Back at TGS, Jenna struggles being a non-actor (thereby not getting attention) and seeks out to find her new role in entertainment. Will she also find her new career? Finally, Tracy is struggling with TGS ending as the family and friends he's made are harder to say goodbye to than he ever expected. Will the gang stay in touch, or will their lives be forever changed after their last goodbye? It's been an absolute pleasure bring your Go To There every week for the last two-and-a-half years, and we cannot thank you all enough for joining us on this journey with us. This isn't farewell, but simply "goodbye for now..." As always, if you'd like to donate for production costs, website hosting, etc, hit up our Ko-Fi link to do so.

Episode 122: "Live From Studio 6H"
Anything can happen on live TV, and this week's Go To There analyzes the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of what it has had to offer. When Jack decided TGS has costs Kabletown too much money being a live show, he plans to convert it a taped presentation, and it's up to Kenneth to save the show. Will his memories of failed live sitcom finales, racially tense live shows, and other sketch programs be enough to sway the cast and crew to stay live, or will the promise of two work weeks a year be too good to pass up? Additionally, Jenna wants nothing less than to be proposed to on live TV by Paul, but when they try and tell Jenna she's doing it for the wrong reasons, will it convince her ego to step aside for the benefit of their love and relationship? Just like 30 Rock's previous live episode, there are numerous differences in the different airings (airings that legally impossible to find online) and we do our best to point out and share the differences for the audience. The risk of live TV is arguably rarely worth the reward, but 30 Rock has proved with sharp writing and talent, you can pull it off. Just lose the blackface next time so more viewers can experience it all and the whole idea of losing history by losing it to history because of an outdated minstrel stereotype and racially insensitive themes.
