What I Want To See From 30 Rock This Season

"30 Rock" is one of the best written comedy shows on television, and its 3rd season starts next Thursday at 9:30. There has been so much hype for this premier that they already put it up on NBC.com so you can watch it before it airs on TV. With the new season, here are some things I'm hoping to see:

Clips from Tracy Jordan's movies: While Tracy's movies are alluded to a lot, and we have seen some of his past music success (Werewolf Barmitzvah, A Jordan Christmas), we have yet to really see any of his movies. I would love to see a scene from Who Dat Ninja?, as well as other Jordan flashbacks.

Kenneth's family: Kenneth's mom comes into New York City for the first time in her life, just think of the possibilities. She could think her son is corrupted by the media and try to shut down NBC. Or just get in a fist fight with Kathy Geiss.

Liz's adopted kid: While Liz did attempt to adopt a baby, I would love to see her get stuck with a 13 year old from Honduras who's into drinking and hard drugs. She could attempt to return the kid, since she'd never want to deal with that. Or just give it to Tracy.

A Michael Richard's cameo: Jerry Seinfeld got his episode, why can't Kramer have his? Toofer could start off the episode angry because he overheard a man being racist on the subway. Just as he finishes telling the story, Michael Richards, the man he overheard, walks in as the new director of diversity programming.

More Will Arnett: Will Arnett has been near to my heart every since his days as GOB on "Arressted Development." I think "30 Rock" should keep him around as long as possible. Once he divorces Kathy Geiss, he can make a real try at Kenneth, or at least take out an ad on match.com for a replacement Kenneth.

Jack Donaghy's Brillant Lines: Much much more of "Do you think he'll call me Jackie Boy? Then I'll be in Erection Cove," "I bow hunt polar bear," and "Your hair is your head suit." These Jack witicisms need to be all over season 3

All of that would be pretty satisfying. Of course we could always use more of Frank's hats, Josh's bad impressions, and Griz and Dot Com.
