Super Sized episodes.

"You're going down."

"No, Devon. I don't do that"

I love this show. This show really does come off as an ultra refined SNL sketch, and seeing how Baldwin has always been great on SNL, it's no surprise he's the standout.

Edit: That was an awesome build up.

I almost choked on some food from the fireworks scene at the end.

"That's a lot of fireworks."

Alec Baldwin. Dressed as Thomas Jefferson. On the Maury Povich show. Giving the audience the finger.

Fucking awesome.

How good is this show!

Devon wanted to do snuff films on the CellPhones, and everyone else was all over the Cowboy hat fireworks..

Shut it down.

The cut down dressing gown was sensational!

I loved the raspy low toned showdown in Jack's office.

Great return episode for 30 Rock. The ending along with Liz's spill about her "eccentricities" were great.

Not just any snuff film... CELEBRITY snuff films.

The 10 sec sitcom was funny too.

Great episode. I miss Will Arnett in sitcoms, but looking at IMDB he's got parts in 10 films in the pipe so I guess he's unlikely to be starring in one any time soon.

The Anderson Cooper was the best line of the night for me. So glad this show is coming back.

The Anderson Cooper line had me snickering the rest of the night.

Loved "Afternoon at Night."

Did his desperate sales pitch remind anyone else of this classic..:

Narrator: Gob was recently hired by the Bluth Company's rival, Sitwell Enterprises. And although he started off well...
Gob: 52% of the country is single. That's a market that's been dominated by apartment rentals. Let's take some of that market. I call it "Single City."
Narrator: ...his ideas failed to evolve.
Gob: It's, like, "Hey, you want to go down to the whirlpool?" "Yeah, I don't have a husband." I call it "Swing City."
Stan Sitwell: Let's get into some new areas, if you don't mind.
Narrator: But Gob continued to fine-tune his first one.
Gob: How do we filter out the teases? We don't let them in.
Gob: This goes for the guys, too. Because sometimes the guys are tapped out. But check your lease, man. Because you're living in Fuck City!
Stan Sitwell: You're fired.

No, this reminded me more of the board room meetings where he would win votes by throwing pennys everywhere. These people liked his ideas, but went with the shiny fireworks.

My Brother "wasn't optimistic it could be done", but I didn't take "wasn't optimistic it could be done" for an answer!
