    I giggled through this entire thing, but Wayne Enterprises Human Resources Department has real merit.

    I'd buy that as a short run series. #batman

    @NerD: Blattella:

    Me too..

    Or the similar idea I had reading this about the secretary's and hired help the Justice League obviously needs to make the day to day happenings happen but keeps behind the scenes.

    "Yes.. yes mayor, I understand you want to talk to wonder woman about the guy she through your office.. Yes sir, I understand your city doesn't have superhero insurance.. Sir, I believe your insinuating that since your a man that she committed a hate crime against your office.."

    That'd be gold too. #batman

    It amazes me that a 5 and a half minute long video doesn't begin to catch all the nerdy one liners in 30 Rock. My personal favorite is this exchange the first or second episode:

    * Liz: Even when it's something normal .. I hate going into Jack's office. I always feel like I'm entering the Death Star and I expect to see storm troopers. I'm telling you if Donaghy does *this* at me [force choke] .. I will run.

    * Pete: You'll be fine .. [Vader voice] Captain Needa.

    * Liz: (as elevator door closes) No! Captain Needa dies! He dies!

    @Trystero: I just thought of another 30 Rock nerd-reference as well (I really love this show).

    Tracy (off his meds): AARRRRGGHHHH

    Leverage has a lot of sci-fi references in it too. From Dr Who code names to Star Trek references.

    There is a scene in 30 Rock where Tracy is getting an e-meter reading that blows my mind.
