I've loved seeing more Pete towards the end of the season. Possibly my favorite was the whole "Pranksmen" arc in "The Ones." :lol: Pete giving Jenna a test to see if she was a sociopath was hilarious.
Yeah, that was really funny. Him being there when the whole Floyd situation happened, them wearing the same outfit to work... so many good times with Pete and Liz as roommates. :lol:
They need to have an ep having something to do with 'take your kids to work day', that could be potentially hilarious with Pete's kids and Tracy's kids--would probably turn Liz off to the idea of having a baby for sure :lol:
Very true. It definitely hasn't gotten worse, and you always expect shows to shift a bit as time goes on. I think they'll find a way to bring Pete back in, though. They brought him back a bit more at the end of season 3, and I'm hopeful that the trend will continue.
I think the thing about Pete is that of all the characters Liz confers with, he seems to be the only one that has an even remote grasp of reality and competence.
And then there's his back story in which he seems to be a complete failure as a husband and father. Yeah, not funny on the surface, but on this show? Played to hilarious effect.
Yes, I mean it's not like the show got worse or anything, but it did shift a bit, which is only natural. I just wish they could find a way to bring Pete back into the fold.
I loved the Hornberger system too. It was so great. I remember in one of the S1 commentaries Tina said how funny Scott was and that we really hadn't seen it yet in terms of the material in the show. But that's really starting to change. I'm glad that even though Pete is getting crazier like the rest of 30 Rock. It's a logical kind of crazy.
I know! I miss having Pete as a bigger part of the show. I mean, it's sad that the writers and such aren't as big anymore, but Pete was such a great character that he's the one I'm saddest about them minimizing.
