Morning TV Round-Up: '30 Rock' & 'The Office'
,
The Fountainhead |
Dennis and his drunken wife and their adopted son Black Dennis were the witnesses along with Jack (who read from "The Fountainhead," because of course he did), and yet there was an obvious joy to it — and not just because Tony Bennett(*) was there to serenade the newlyweds.

Chuck, ‘Chuck vs. The Other Guy’: To Paris, with love
,
Bonita Friedericy has one of the most thankless jobs on [ Chuck], as she's there most weeks to give exposition and sign off abruptly.

,
TV review.
