I’ve seen neither Mean Girls or The Colour Purple. Both have now been remade as musicals, so I figure they are classics for a reason. Not sure if Mean Girls is my thing, but giving it a go tonight. The Colour Purple is more serious so I’ll save that for when I feel like concentrating more.

Update: Mean girls is hilarious! Laughed out loud several times.

Tina Fey is a goddess of comedy. I slept on Mean Girls for way too long because it didn't seem marketed at my demographic but it's so good.

Same. I mistakenly thought it was a teen flick. It’s about teens, but not for teens. A lot of the jokes would go straight over their heads. Some very clever comedy in there.

30 Rock is possibly the best written comedy show.

[–] bull@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It is phenomenal. Although Arrested Development might be in contention too. I will admit that I've binge re-watched 30 Rock waaaaaaaay more times.

AD is great but too clever for it's own good.

I'm on my 4th or 5th 30 Rock rewatch and I'm still finding new things.

The pill that keeps people awake, sponsored by the Pentagon and the WNBA is a fucking harsh joke.
