A new 30 Rock thread because I can't find the old one

the brainstorm line was incredible, yah

the only exchange i remember really lolling at was:

jenna: i've got it!
tracy: give it to me! it's mine!

I didn't pay much attention but I did lol pretty hard at "As worn by Dame Judi Dench----'s mother!"

no way dudes the funniest part was obviously the aborted montage sequence - "remember when you tried on some outfits and i was like (frowns) but then you tried on others and i was like (thumbs up!)"

jenna is amazing

^lol i was jsut looking 4 that quote to post <3 <3 jenna

no way dudes the funniest part was obviously the aborted montage sequence - "remember when you tried on some outfits and i was like (frowns) but then you tried on others and i was like (thumbs up!)"

The aborted montage was really funny but I was also sad that I didn't get to see a montage of Tracy & Jenna shopping.

it was a weaker episode but at least it had dr. spacemen - "liz, i believe doctor-patient confidentiality is a two-way street ... i'm cheating on my wife"

I guess I'm the only one who thought it was kind of a strong episode? At least as far as laughs-per-minute goes.

Laughed all the way through, except for Salma Hayek.

That'd be pretty interesting to see, especially since those impressions were dubbed in on that episode.

Haven't watched that one in forever, but I still feel surprised not to have noticed this; the "martian COUGAR" I hear in my head is not actually Tracy Morgan's voice.

I would be LESS surprised to find out that Selma Hayek was CGI

I think she may have had some CGI enhancements.

I'm pretty sure she was made up by a lonely cartoonist and then magically came to life, a bit like Alicia Silverstone

All I know is some script-writer clearly wrote instructions like "Selma shakes her head", "Selma jumps up and down" and "Selma shakes her goddamn boobs, people! Come on!"

Uh, main thing I came away from this episode thinking was a) Tracy is one terrifying damn clown! and b) woah, the music was much better in this episode than before.
Oh, and of course c) is Hayek + Jack angling to become a spinoff? Only the barest of reference to the rest of the show, with that whole Donuts thing.

(must always have a c)

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — NBC is renewing Tina Fey's "30 Rock" for the 2009-10 season, along with "The Office" and "The Biggest Loser."

Haven't watched that one in forever, but I still feel surprised not to have noticed this; the "martian COUGAR" I hear in my head is not actually Tracy Morgan's voice.

It took me 3-4 viewings to notice it, but whenever Josh is doing the impressions he's either covering his mouth or the sync is ever-so-slightly off.

(I don't think they used Tracy or Alec's voices for the "impressions," though)

They're all Christopher Walken

If I've learned anything from The Worst Movie Ever? thread - is that plenty of ilx people's standards are already very high, so going a little lower doesn't really say anything bad about this show.

lol whatever man.

Accepting the fact that this doesn't come terribly close to "Reunion" or last week's, this episode still isn't the weakest of the season, particularly because the Xmas episode was so inert (lower jokes density on a per minute basis, don't get me started with its lols/min ratio or the more advanced lols/(jokes * min)^2).

I guess I'm the only one who thought it was kind of a strong episode? At least as far as laughs-per-minute goes.

UR V8K8SH1 iz baqon lol

tracy, ive got it!
give it to me, it's mine! lolol

Best episode in months! Tracy Morgan was knocking his lines out of the park this episode ("I want to thank you for controlling yourself sexually while we spent time together on this adventure") but Salma Hayek generally has the comedic delivery of Christopher Walken on SNL. "I'd love to go out, get all dressed up, tip maitre Ds and be all like 'thank you Roger, this table was super duper'" was hilarious, however. Then she blows it with the next line straight from a cue card. Michael Bublé's "Mr. Templeton" song was also awesome. And Liz dancing for her shot.

Downside: even I know that flu shots take two weeks to protect against the flu, and only the vaccine administered nasally contains weakened live flu virus.

im with you at heart, but i dont think i can get behind abt 50% of that

Hey, it's me, Matlock, and I'm going to need your help.

Without the crew, we'd just be two amazing people succeeding in a vacuum.

^people overlook jenna when they say "bad episode". she and tracy were in great form

if you wan the shot, you're going to have to dance for it (I <3 Spaceman)

I used to want Spaceman in every episode, but now I realize it's even funnier when he's a surprise.

when you guys type spaceman are you thinking space-man or spa-che-mon

i cannot think of spaceman EVER without thinking spa-che-min now

latest casting news: Patti LuPone as Frank's mother

At least Chris Parnell is Hamburger Helper now.

Tracy, I don't quite know how to say this... D-I-ABE...

That kiss was awesome.

you can't say a doi to me in mixed company

i lolled at the dumb physical stuff tonight (the jenna/frank kiss, the hillwitch)

hey, did i see that steve buscemi directed this??

Really? Huh!

"Like a waitress."

I caught that Buscemi credit too!

"You are a lion. Take what's yours."

ROBOT PENIS

lots of real lols tonight, A+++, would watch again. especially the dr spacemen scene, anything involving him and diabetes is gold

I love how Lemon comes into his hotel room with two plates, mentions the buffet and then quickly says "oh yeah, you should go down and get some!"

I thought it was an awesome episode, maybe my favorite so far this season. Really glad to see the supporting cast (Frank, Toofer, Griz, Dot Com), even though Pete wasn't in it at all.

Most laffs per episode this season so far, even if their wasn't a line as brilliant as "An Affair to Rememblack." The Tracy/Ken thing was weaker than most similar outings, but it did provide my favorite line of the show:

"N-O-E! No E!"

tracy stuffing veggies in his mouth was funnay

Jane Krakowski has been on fire since this started back up.

yah totally

Kiss with Frank was epic, made more so by her "I Suck" t-shirt.
