The funniest part for me was the scene where they’re trying to shoot the Dealbreakers promo, including the HD bit. They could have possibly thought of a better image for Jack, but it was still funny.
Frank turing into Liz was pretty funny as well.
I find it interesting that they seem to tease showing us a show, but never actually do it. I’m OK with that as 30 Rock is a workplace comedy that’s about a TV show. Actually showing TGS or Dealbreakers really isn’t actually necessary.
The problem with the show is that even when, like this week, not all the story threads completely work, it is so dense with terrific lines and non-sequiturs that it makes up for other shortcomings.
I got Pete as an old man, but why was he naked? Frank slowly morphing into Liz was pretty funny. BTW how long has Jonathan been back as Jack’s assistant?
I also liked the little “reset-button” moment at the end when Liz looked puzzled for a moment, then put her glasses back on and shrugged, as if the off-brand eye surgery simply wore off, and needs not be mentioned ever again.
