First came the television, a must have staple for all serious football fans. Then came the remote control, a magical device that allowed everyone from Cheeseheads to the Raider Nation to control their equally magical television without wasting precious body fat. Then God bestowed upon his people the buffalo wing, a sports viewing achievement no one thought could be topped. That was until Dec. 7, 1963 when television saw the first instant replay during the Army-Navy game on CBS.
Now thanks to this marvelous technological fusion of athletics and broadcasting, viewers around the world can go to the bathroom in peace knowing they would not be able to miss a minute of the action. Fans were ensured that referees would conclusive access to every angle of every play no matter how minutiae the detail. Now if only technology could improve the refs, we'd be set.

'30 Rock'(9:30PM, NBC)
Despite her rather disastrous attempt to be approved for adoption, Liz Lemon's dream of motherhood is still alive.
In tonight's new episode, Jenna thinks it's that desire to have a child that's driving Liz's attraction to her new guy (guest star Peter Dinklage).
Meanwhile, in this guest star-heavy installment, Jack tries to help Tracy and his wife (guest Sherri Shepherd) seal the deal on a 'post-nuptial' agreement, while delving into a relationship of his own with Elisa (guest Salma Hayek), the woman who's been hired to take care of his prickly mom.
