    Liz struggles to maintain her long-distance relationship with Floyd and must also use Kenneth's help in finding a missing Tracy. Meanwhile, Jack's marriage situation with Phoebe causes his mother to stop by. Honestly I was dissapointed with this episode I have seen this show be much funnier nd for a last episode of the season it didnt really deliver but it had its moments like where Jack ran away and where Tracy was captured. Glad to see the back of Pheobe she was really annoying. Overal it was a great first season of 30 Rock a worthy winner of the Emmy and a ok final episode 9 out of 10 episode. 10 out of 10 season.moreless

    I wasn't going to watch the season finale of "30 Rock," after hearing Alac Baldwin chrew out his daughter over the cell phone, but I will watch because it is tina Fey that is the heart and soul of the series, not Alac Baldwin and I do not wish to hear hin yelling on the cell phone again. the highlight of ther episode is Tracy ran away from the studio and ran into mean backwood folk and he escape with the help of his friands. I like the series so far and I hope it will return next year. I can't wait to see Tina again.moreless

    I have been watching this show from the beginning, and i must admit it didnt get off to a briliant start. But after watching this, the final episode of this season, its like im watching a different show. Everything falls together perfectly! The characters are believable (in some way or another) and the situations are inventive and highly hilarious. This is just a perfect example of how giving a show a chance is all that is needed sometimes. This show has come a long way. And as it has already been confirmed that a second season is in the pipeline we should all be looking forward to its return. God bless Tina Fey!moreless

    The doctor pretzel joke was the funniest line I've seen on tv in the past month, maybe year. I laughed so hard I peed a little. That doctor needs to be a recurring character. Oh.. and the whole thing with Tracy was pretty good. Not one of Jack's best episdoes, but whatever. Really I just signed up to this site and am writing these extra 90 words to say how much I like the pretzel joke and hope to see the doctor again. So if you're still reading this, you're wasting your time because I'm just filling words at --.moreless
