			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Musical segments rarely work in a sitcom especially when it&#8217;s not part of the normal structure of the show.  But thankfully last night&#8217;s <strong>Kidney Now</strong> bit on <strong>30 Rock</strong> finished off the show&#8217;s season with a bang.  The show struggled with incorporating celebrity guests this season and I really thought Tina Fey &#038; company were doomed with having the likes of Clay Aiken (never funny) and Mary J. Blige on the show.  Yes, the spoken lines by Sheryl Crow and Elvis Costello were stilted and unnatural but I can forgive it all due to the fact that the ending tribute for Milton Greene was so well done.  So often, songs written specifically for sitcoms feel like an afterthought but in this case the song &#8220;He Needs a Kidney&#8221; was the highlight of the episode.  Check it out&#8230;</p>

<strong>He needs a kidney</strong>: The Lyrics</p>
<p><em>Sometimes life brings pain and strife<br />
And all seems wrong<br />
That is when you find a friend<br />
And write a song</p>
<p>Give the gift of giving<br />
Give it far and give it wide<br />
Take the leap &#8211; reach down deep inside</p>
<p>And just give a kidney<br />
To a father or a dad<br />
Just give a kidney<br />
We hear it doesn&#8217;t really hurt that bad</p>
<p>And we know you&#8217;ll want to give it<br />
To a super human being<br />
So get it done<br />
We just need one<br />
For Milton Greene</p>
<p>This country has six hundred million kidneys<br />
And we really only need half<br />
That leaves about three hundred million kidneys<br />
Do the math</p>
<p>Milton Greene Milton Greene<br />
Milton Greene Milton Greene<br />
Milton Greene</p>
<p>He needs a kidney<br />
Milton Greene<br />
Don&#8217;t ask why &#8211; he could die<br />
If you don&#8217;t call today</p>
<p>Listen, when someone starts talking in the middle of a song you know it&#8217;s serious. So give Milton a kidney. We all believe in this cause so much we&#8217;re doing it for free. Except for Sheryl. That&#8217;s right. I&#8217;m the only one getting paid. And only three of us are drunk. Milton Greene needs a kidney. Just like I need this beard. You don&#8217;t want to see what&#8217;s under here. And while you don&#8217;t have two beards you do have two kidneys. Think of it this way: if I had two dollars, I&#8217;d give you one, wouldn&#8217;t I? I&#8217;m one of the drunk ones!</p>
<p>They say that two is better than one<br />
But sometimes one is better than two<br />
If you had two heads you&#8217;d wish you had one<br />
How is this different?<br />
If you had two dogs attacking you<br />
You&#8217;d want just one<br />
There I proved my point!</p>
<p>Milton Greene Milton Greene<br />
Milton Greene Milton Greene<br />
Milton Greene</p>
<p>He needs a kidney<br />
Milton Greene<br />
Don&#8217;t ask why &#8211; he could die<br />
If you don&#8217;t call today</p>
<p>He needs a kidney<br />
No he doesn&#8217;t need a hand<br />
He just needs a kidney</p>
<p>A hand would be an even harder thing to give</p>
<p>When you give a kidney<br />
And we really think you should<br />
We pass the cup<br />
They stitch it up<br />
You do some good </em><br />
&#8212;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I loved last night&#8217;s episode of <strong>30 Rock</strong> (the Reunion, episode 5, Season 3).  I was getting a bit worried with all the inconsistent shows this season.  It has been pretty &#8220;hit or miss&#8221; with all the big name guest stars interfering with the natural flow of the show.  With &#8220;the Reunion&#8221;, we&#8217;re finally back to the high quality writing we&#8217;ve all seen last season.</p>
<p>highlights from last night&#8217;s show include:<br />
- Liz Lemon saying &#8220;I want to go to there!&#8221;<br />
- Liz Lemon confessing on the plane &#8220;I saw my grandparents making love once and I didn&#8217;t leave right away!&#8221;<br />
- Liz Lemon&#8217;s memory of herself being a victim in high school but then learning that she was actually a bully!<br />
- Cat anus, cat anus, cat anus!<br />
- seeing SVU&#8217;s ADA Diane Neal at the high school reunion.<br />
- Jack as Larry Braverman saying &#8220;We all have ways of coping. I use sex, and awesomeness.&#8221;<br />
- Liz&#8217;s former classmates wanting to &#8220;Carrie&#8221; her.<br />
loved it!<br />
