and 30 Rock is back, NERDS!

9.5

By dflipkyuzosan24, Dec 05, 2009

I was not expecting much in this episode.... but this episode is just pure '30 Rock' goodness. Unlike, season 4 past episodes this episode is memorable, well-written and hitting '30 Rock' "hilariousness" standard. Liz Lemon stole the show in this installment. Tina Fey being Tina Fey. I don't wanna spill some spoilers, but the way Liz cry near the end is one the best '30 Rock' and Liz Lemon moments yet! Definetly an emmy clip!

Jack is not really himself tonight, but he has some pretty memorable scene. His phone call with Devon is funny as "the laser shield" in the "Into the Crevasse" episode! Tracy's plot about wanting a baby girl has no holes and just funny! Tracy Jordan is also back. Unpredictable, Crazy and Dim-witted- that's Tracy Jordan. Lucky for us, Tracy Jordan is Tracy Jordan in this episode

Though, Jenna wasn't really used here, she was in her funniest self ever. The way she react in her niece drawing is one the best Jenna moment ever. I wish the show should expand her character more this season and make her funnier and crazier like the rest.

Frank being Liz didn't fail to amuse me! Seeing acting like Liz is crazy crazy fun to watch. Meanwhile, Pete's HD tv entrace is also an LOL. Unfortunately, Kenneth doesn't real gag tonight. Overall, this episode proves '30 Rock' still has the genius and funny that help the show won those deserving 'awards'. Keep it up, 30 Rock!moreless

Funny.

8.5

Very funny episode of 30 Rock tonight with the jokes landing more often than not, and a surprising guest appearance by Whoopi Goldberg. As always, Dr. Leo Spaceman stole the scene he was in, but I even found myself laughing at Jenna a lot, something that is not always the case. Jane Krakowski is without question a talented actress, but the exaggerated, struggling actress who has slept with every weirdo in Hollywood, personality shift she's undergone in the last few years has had a negative effect on her as a whole. Tonight though she was on.

Do I need to mention the big three? We know they're the best trio on television. As for Frank, he was funny here immitating Liz and it never shocks me how weird he looks when they take him out of his usual outfit.

Great episode tonight. Definitely one of the best of the season.moreless
