The series finale of 30 Rock is this Thursday night, which raises a few important questions: What is Tina Fey going to do next? Do you think the series would have gotten better ratings if one character had been a cool talking dog named Ace who wore a leather jacket and hustled suckers at pool? Do you think NBC will replace it with a single-camera comedy about a cool talking dog named Ace who wears a leather jacket and hustles suckers at pool? Would anyone like to read my pilot “Hey, Quit Scratching,” about a cool talking dog named Ace who wears a leather jacket and hustles suckers at pool? And so on.
Luckily, we have an answer to at least one of those questions. It appears Tina Fey’s next step may be a Mean Girls musical.
Mean Girls fans, look alive! Because the fetch Lindsay Lohan movie might be coming to a theater near you…as a musical!
“Maybe! We want to. I would love to,” Tina Fey told E! News on the red carpet at the SAG Awards. “I’m trying to develop it with my husband, who does all the music for 30 Rock and I think Paramount’s onboard.” [E! Online]
While I had originally hoped her next project would be Mean Girls 2: The Ballad of Glen Coco, I suppose a musical is okay, too. I mean, if nothing else it gives me an excuse to post the “Jingle Bell Rock” scene from the original Mean Girls on a random Monday in January. Yup, no complaints here.

I want to go to there.

Nice.
If it is “off-Broadway” nude theater…….I’d watch it…
My dog Ace would like a word with you. He says he’d prefer to keep Lawyer Dog out of this.
How long until she goes away?
I hope you drown in an AIDS fire for saying that
Maybe it’s because I’m not largely educated on the nuances of theatre, but I get the impression that working on a musical based on your biggest project indicates you have no ideas left. It’s not like everyone is clamoring for this to happen. I hope this isn’t true, because Tina Fey seems cool, but seriously: leave it alone.
I’ll write this now so as to not pee in your thursday night cornflakes, but damn, 30 Rock went off the rails with the whole Jack-Avery-baby-North Korea thing. This final 13 has rocked from end to end, and it’s sad that a saggy 5th-6th season put the show in this position.
“Hey, Quit Scratching” has to be the best title of a show about a cool talking dog named Ace who wears a leather jacket and hustles suckers at pool that I have ever read.
/seriously funny
Is the pool table two feet high or does he use doggy steps to reach the table?
That long tag means I get to bring up the cover of the Mean Girls game on DS. Still funny.
Wait, what?
Someone determined that a few years after the movie would be the perfect time to put out a video game. By then however, Lohan was acting all starlet like, so it was decided to make the game without her on the cover. That two of the other actresses were much bigger stars at that point was more of a bonus.
OK, so it’s only amusing to me. Whatever.
Nah, that’s hilarious. Can you imagine how depressing it must be for Lohan when Mean Girls comes on TV?
That’s a bit too much for me. I hope it rocks!
