What happened to all the 30 Rock love? I love the show, and thought this week was particularly hilarious.

Liz’s plan B - world’s worst hooker (“It’s 500 for a kiss, 10,000 for snuggling. End of list!”).

And Aaron Sorkin was a riot! “Walk with me.” “Did we just go in a circle?”

I thought there were some good laughs in it, although I missed the first 5 minutes.

“It’s a toilet…or a woman. It’s anything you want it to be.”

“I’ve got an idea – we’ll continue TGS as a magazine!”

“My life was all wet wipes and rectal thermometers. And then the babies arrived!”

“I’m Aaron Sorkin. _The West Wing_, _The Social Network_…”  
“_Studio 60_…”  
“Shut up.”

“We’re living under the subway with the CEO of Friendster!”

I like that.

I also love that this is the second time they did the “did we just walk in a circle” joke. They did it in episode 1 or 2 of the whole show to poke fun at Studio 60.

Can someone tell me what happened after the last commercial break? My DVR cut it off.

My favorite line: “He’s a gay shark, just like the actor who played Jaws.”

Kenny video-conferences with Tracy, and its obvious that Tracy’s actually on a studio set.

“We’ve had the snowiest winter ever in New York. i mean, here in Africa.” (Tracy leans over to turn off a light as part of the backdrop falls down.) “Oh, it’s night. Time to go to bed or the gods will get mad. They must be crazy!”

I also liked Tracy’s earlier comment about all the people he’d met in Africa: “Ladysmith Black Mombazo, Paul Simon, Invictus.”

So glad Will Arnett is back in play. He’s the funniest man alive, IMO. I can’t believe Running Wilde didn’t work, but that lady from Felicity is a piss poor actress.

The Kabletown CEO is hilarious. More of him too.

The whole “pity the writers!” thing was a biiiit overplayed. Sorkin was great.
