When I’m selecting a show to watch while exercising, I frequently turn to 30 Rock. That fact has very little to do with the show’s content. For a while now, all seven seasons of Tina Fey’s brainchild have been readily available on Hulu; I have a familiarity with its plot; and when episodes don’t relax on offensive humor that was already unacceptable by the time it aired from 2006 to 2013, it can be funny. I also like 30 Rock because it is the kind of television that doesn’t require a lot of attention—the perfect half-hour comedy for putting on and immediately scrolling on your phone. And yet, when NBC announced it would debut its new streaming service, Peacock, on Thursday with the hour-long 30 Rock: A One-Time Special, I vowed to actively watch the reunion. Maybe there would be some addressing of the show’s past indiscretions or at least some attempt at bringing the world of 30 Rock into the modern era.

Deadline, the episode was conceived to be a replacement for NBCUniversal’s Upfronts presentation. In the originalseries, Fey’s cast and crew frequently poked fun at product placements—they would joke about needing that money for their show while reading the ad copy, and more often than not, breaking the fourth wall by staring directly into the camera and giving viewers a devious wink. They took the money while snickering at it, allowing fans to find entertainment in the absurdity of it all.
