    Which makes sense from the standpoint of a traditional broadcast business, but if 2020 proved anything was true, it was that streaming services are the new king. Traditional broadcast TV is the horse-drawn carriage business in an automobile world.

    I sent this to a friend of mine who is a huge fan of 30 Rock, and he was unaware of it too. So I will thank you again on his behalf: this was much appreciated! Thank you!

      “We make horse buggies and the first Model T just rolled into town.”
      “We’re dinosaurs…”
      “We don’t need two metaphors. That’s bad writing. Not that it matters.”

      EDIT: Is that last line there also another “Studio 60 vs. 30 Rock” joke?
