Thought it sucked. Tracy Morgan has become so fat that his scenes are no longer funny anymore, like the energy in all of them has been cut substantially where his storylines used to be my favorites in past seasons. And the show overall has become too much of a cartoon imo. Also, too many guest stars. I just wish it went back to more the style of season 1.

Aren't we now done with the big guest star phase? This was the last Thursday of sweeps, right? I imagine we won't see any more big guests until May sweeps time.

Now THAT is how you use a guest star properly. If they had done that for the other eps this season (and thrown Jennifer Aniston off a cliff before filming) this would be great. I echo the hopes that we can get back to more studio-themed episodes rather than the constant series of guest stars utterly diverting from the real characters.

This was the best episode of the season and probably one of the best episodes of the series.
Steve Martin can be funny again if he gets good material.

Cerie and Pete still work at the "Girly Show"!
Steve Martin was definitely the best of this season's A-list guest stars, but here's hoping that "30 Rock" can get back to involving the GS staff a little more now.
I thought Tracy's remark about everything working out with Jenna's dad's visit was funny.

I've enjoyed every episode this season thus far, the premiere was the weakest.
I also liked the shout out to Jenna's dad
Great way to cover ground.

And damn, how hot was Tina Fey in this one...

Great episode - last week had me worried but Steve Martin saves the day. Lots of great lines in this one.
"I'm worried about an away toilet situation."
"Toronto is just like New York but without all the stuff."
"And that paint is drying weird!"

You people liked Steve Martin in this? I actually thought he didn't fit in. I thought his acting was terrible and way too over the top and corny.
The rest of the episode I found very enjoyable. I loved the lines about her Big Ben biological clock and Liz's reaction to it.
