Get Jennifer Aniston a Sitcom

After watching last night's episode of 30 Rock, I remembered why I previously liked Jennifer Aniston. Her comic timing is spot on, she does sarcasm well, and when she plays manic it can be hilarious. All this was shown to great effect on Friends, but it hasn't been displayed in any of her film roles. Instead, she is often religated to the straight man role of the wife or girlfriend of the leading comedic actor. It's kind of annoying that Jennifer's wasting her talents in such mediocre roles. While last night's episode of 30 Rock wasn't perfect, nor was her character, at least it played to her strengths as an actress. And why did it? Because it was a sitcom and she's a sitcom actress! She's a very talented one, but still she's a TV star and not a movie star. Someone please give this woman a well written sitcom so she doesn't have to make a bunch of crap films while trying to reach film star status. Please.
