Another great episode with plenty of great humor!

"Superb"

By alphakry, Oct 25, 2011

I think you're crazy "thefanof". I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

The clever humor in the first few minutes alone made this episode for me!

Anyone else find the differences between Jack's NY and Boston office? I loved how they turned to the camera and am surprised there isn't a contest out there somewhere. [edit] I spoke too soon - turns out there is a little game on nbc.com to spot the differences! No prize but fun!

I do agree with you on one thing though - the Boston accent is pretty horrible. But really, that's about the only bad thing i can think to say about this episode!moreless

"Good"

By thefanof, Sep 27, 2011

Well, after last week's two travesties it would be hard for 30 Rock not to top those efforts tonight. And we got a solid, albeit still not that great episode tonight. The show is relying too much on Tracy just acting like a nut with nonsensical dialogue, almost in the same way The Big Bang Theory provides little story and relies on Sheldon spatting science jargon. There was very little Jenna, Pete or Kenneth here, and while those three are not always funny, you can't just ignore people who were influential to this show's history.

And Nancy's really awful Boston accent is really irritating me. Nobody's accent is that thick.moreless

"Superb"

By penguinfish75, May 07, 2010

Ok so this is totally a biased and personal review, but I just loved the episode because they mentioned Chet Curtis and Natalie Jacobson. I mean, how much more obscure could you get for a national show to mention a local anchor team that hasn't been on TV together in 20 years? I grew up in Boston and my parents watched them every night, so that was definitely cool to hear. I'm not a great fan of the awful Boston accents, but that's par for the course - pretty much all actors overdo that. Anyway, a great funny episode filled with typical insane moments.moreless
