Meta Television

So, in the season opener of Monk called "Monk and His Biggest Fan" Sarah Silverman plays an obsessive follower of Monk. The meta-moment is when she keeps referring to different cases Monk solved as titles of former episodes like "Monk and the Astronaut" and Monk keeps asking, "Why are you giving them titles?"
Monk I have noticed is a more-meta-than-average show. They constantly have self-references to Monk and did the episode where they are making a movie about Monk with Stanly Tucci playing Monk (The X-Files did it better with Tea Leoni and Gary Shandling, I believe, playing agents Mulder and Skully).
Anyway, I am going to try and gradually shifted the focus of my blog from Arrested Development commentary to meta-entertainment.

Why 30 Rock is the Best Sitcom on TV

• Tina Fey Rules.
• Tracy Morgan is suprisingly very funny.
• Cameos by SNL alum, specifically Rachel Draetch playing random characters (Barbara Walters, Elizabeth Taylor, Cat Lady)
• Constant jokes about NBC (Simpsons style). Jack is head of television and microwave programming.
• And most importantly, Alex Baldwin.

Best Arrested Development Character Names

• Bob Loblaw
• Gene Parmesan
• Lucille 2
• GOB
• George Michael
• Barry Zuckercorn

Public Relations

Watched "Public Relations" from A.D. season 1. Noticed it has a meta-scene, where the public relations woman describes each character.
Also, noticed a joke at the end when Lindsay and Lucille attack the public relations woman, someone in the background yells, "Bluth Fight." I love picking up on jokes despite it being the 6-8th time I have seen the episode.
