I was unclear: I knew they were using hand-helds, but even then, I thought there was even more shifting and jugging than usual. > I was hoping that the warm-up guy was apprised of the situation and > was telling the audience not to start cheering every time characters > came on--I was dreading that the first thing we'd hear at the top was > the cheers for Tina and Baldwin.

To piggy back: it's as if they booked an SNL audience instead of a traditional sitcom audience. And I don't think the audience was warned to "behave": while my recording missed the first minute due to the TBBT overrun, when they showed Louis-Dreyfus for the first time, there was a significant amount of hooting and hollering. When Parnell came on for his commercial, he blew through the audience attempt to clap. Hamm did not. > But from the use of 8H and the "SNL" crew (and the laziness of using a > lot of the "SNL" crawl without changing the font), it seemed to be > more like "SNL Thursday Weekend Update" instead of "30 Rock." ::nodding vigorously:: -- TV or Not TV ....
