The high levels of WTF?!?!ness make me think of some Adult Swim shows, but better.

― Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 01:45 (nineteen years ago)

Well not ALL of them, but like, the last 5 episodes

ow... ow... ow... my bones...

― HI DERE, Friday, 13 April 2007 02:35 (nineteen years ago)

I missed the beginning! Why was the girl from "Match Point" so fragile?

"I have Avian Bone Syndrome"

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 13 April 2007 02:53 (nineteen years ago)

I do enjoy how they've been letting the last joke run off into the black of the end credits...

AWAIT IT IN HIS DROPPINGS

― marmotwolof, Friday, 13 April 2007 04:20 (nineteen years ago)

ahahahahah

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 13 April 2007 04:30 (nineteen years ago)

STAND GUARD BY HIS RUMP AND AWAIT IT IN HIS DROPPINGS.

This episode actually seemed really slow except for JEFFERSON. "The Floydster" storyline is getting less funny by the minute. Also where is Jenna?

― nickalicious, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:05 (nineteen years ago)

haha I didn't even look before posting, sorry.

― nickalicious, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

It's funny how the girl from Match Point is playing almost the exact same role as in Match Point. I would hate to be typecast as the posh English chick dudes marry in order to bolster their career.

― Nicole, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:21 (nineteen years ago)

I dunno, the episode was definitely subpar for me, but for me it was the Jefferson stuff that dragged. I just think the idea of Tracy doing the movie was funnier as a throwaway gag last week than them basing a whole episode around it this week, although once it got going there were a couple good bits.

the best part about Tracy's character is that it parodies so many bad Martin Lawrence/Eddie Murphy-type movies that my hope is that if Tracy Morgan ever does become a movie star, he won't be able to get away with those kinds of terrible fat-suit/role reversal concepts that black comedy stars tend to fall into. my dream is that someday he'll get to headline his own willfully absurd yet popular Anchorman-type movies.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

I want JEFFERSON to be real.

― nickalicious, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

you guys i dunno i love the wackiness of the Jefferson plot

― Mr. Que, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:03 (nineteen years ago)

I like 30 Rock, but I wish it was all Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin. Please get rid of the writers, lemon, and most importantly, the Floydster.

― Jeff, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

wtf, lemon is the main character and she is amazing

― cutty, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

jeff off the money and AiB maybe missing the development aspect of the episode ie. the show is one long narrative and not wacky hijinks every week and in order for us (me) to be invested in the show as much as we are (am) the show has to be true to its characters and not just have them "do" "stuff". this statement may or may not be obvious.

also, does anyone else see the liz/floydster relationship going basically toward the neuter and sexless?

I just think the idea of Tracy doing the movie was funnier as a throwaway gag last week than them basing a whole episode around it this week, although once it got going there were a couple good bits.

the full run of the story w/ tracy getting brutally shot down by geist hints back to real tracy's SNL stuff which could always run v.v. dark when he wanted to. someone mentioned that on old ILX but I can't remember who.

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

I just saw on the NBC website that next week's episode has Liz contemplating moving to Cleveland (presumably with teh Floydster). Their relationship seems cute to me, however.

― molly mummenschanz, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

Their "sexy" interaction -- "Oh, you're bringin' it," etc. -- was pretty hottt, I was actually disappointed when it was interrupted by Jack. But I recovered when Liz whispered "The calls are coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE" because I was collapsed with laughter because I was hoping she'd say that because I was thinking the same thing.

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

'i'm not a creative type like you with your... work sneakers and left handedness...'

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

Jeff's hate of Liz Lemon saddens me because I am a black-glasses wearing goofy woman who does things like make poop jokes and dance around all sexy in footy pajamas and Jeff is like, totally married to me.

"Work sneakers and left handedness" made me roffle for real, though.

― Jenny, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

"We're all gettin' Iphones!"

― C. Grisso/McCain, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha Jeff busted by Jenny NEXT ON MAURENCE POVICH

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

baldwins expression when abs suffering chick came on to him

― deeznuts, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

wait, no one's mentioned Fat Bitch yet. I can only hope someday we get to see a clip of it.

― Mr. Que, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

I only have room for one woman in my life that is a black-glasses wearing goofy woman who does things like make poop jokes and dance around all sexy in footy pajamas.

Sorry Liz.

― Jeff, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

oh man the iphone line

― cutty, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

I'm pulling for a Tracy Jordan appearance on Inside The Actor's Studio where we see clips of Fat Bitch, Who Dat Ninga? and Black Cop White Cop.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 13 April 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

LISA: I saw the one where he plays, like, five different characters.
TOOFER: "Black Cop / White Cop."
LISA: No.
JOSH: "Who Dat Ninja?"
LISA: No, he was ... god, they all blend together, don't they? He had to pretend to be an old lady.
TOOFER: Yes, yes. He actually says the title at some point...

Off their thinking ... CUT TO:

EXT. DOORWAY A HOUSE - DAY
A clip from one of Lawrence Jordan's movies. He is dressed as a big fat white grandma a la Mrs. Doubtfire. Unseen parties are throwing pies at him.

LAWRENCE: Oh, gracious goodness! You hooligans better watch out!

A pie hits him. He sounds suddenly masculine and black.

LAWRENCE (CONT'D): Cause this honky grandma be trippin!

CUT BACK TO: INT. PETE'S OFFICE

LISA/TOOFER (relieved to remember): "Honky Grandma Be Trippin'."

― nabisco, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

alec baldwin would be 10% as funny without liz lemon there as his foil. and vice-versa. i like how they trade places being the straight man.

― s1ocki, Friday, 13 April 2007 23:53 (nineteen years ago)

baldwin was really great in the last episode--like when he touches the painting

― cutty, Friday, 13 April 2007 23:57 (nineteen years ago)

the fact that this ep had emily mortimer and rip torn, both of whom i adore in very different ways, pleased me to no end.

― s1ocki, Saturday, 14 April 2007 00:08 (nineteen years ago)

no end, people. i'm still pleased and i don't foresee it stopping anytime soon.

― s1ocki, Saturday, 14 April 2007 00:08 (nineteen years ago)

you weren't pleased last week, asshole

― cutty, Saturday, 14 April 2007 00:17 (nineteen years ago)

mmmm...Emily Mortimer. Her and Tina Fey on the same show make my world explode.

― Gukbe, Saturday, 14 April 2007 02:00 (nineteen years ago)

am I on yr world, coz it just exploded?

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Saturday, 14 April 2007 02:01 (nineteen years ago)

he is on our planet but trapped forever in the past

leave him alone

― deeznuts, Saturday, 14 April 2007 03:16 (nineteen years ago)

I really liked Tracy's what I think was a "French" accent while portraying King George.

― Clay, Saturday, 14 April 2007 03:58 (nineteen years ago)

Did anyone else catch the movie names on the marquee? I can only remember Moonquest: Quest for the Moon, and The President's Wife. One of the other ones was Searching for Emily or something similar. I don't remember.

Please get rid of the writers, lemon, and most importantly, the Floydster.

God no! First, it's cute that she has a relationship, and I like him. Also, my husband will kill you if you get rid of her.

― accentmonkey, Saturday, 14 April 2007 05:45 (nineteen years ago)

HEY YOU THTUPID JERKTH I'M THOMATH JEFFERTHON

― impudent harlot, Saturday, 14 April 2007 05:52 (nineteen years ago)

the other movies on the marquee were "speaking of emily" and "the boy made of corn"

― ^@^, Saturday, 14 April 2007 07:42 (nineteen years ago)

floyd: "in my mind, the foo fighters song 'best of you' is about your managerial skills."

jack: "lemon. i want to kiss your boyfriend on the mouth."

floyd: "chapter 12!"

(they both laugh)

jack: "what are you drinking?"

floyd: "club soda."

jack: "that's a shame."

― ^@^, Saturday, 14 April 2007 07:45 (nineteen years ago)

the implication of the unexplained chapter 12 joke is really funny!

― s1ocki, Saturday, 14 April 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

the torrent site is what i needed. i'm in a mini marathon right now

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Saturday, 14 April 2007 23:07 (nineteen years ago)

I kind of think that when I go back and watch, say, episodes 6-12, they were funnier. More range of characters, more knockabout, less plot. It's still my favorite show though.

― caek, Sunday, 15 April 2007 02:00 (nineteen years ago)

I think I've seen every episode now at least twice, and have found plenty of worthwhile moments in even the weaker ones (The Source Awards, Jack the Writer). My favorite show currently on, easily.
