I rewound my DVR just to make sure I did see what I saw on the HD monitor. Liz's HD image was also pretty good.

Frank as Liz.

Dr. Spaceman was great as always.

I think every laugh I missed with the Office I got with this episode. It seems like every episode is always funnier than the last.

Watching this show makes me wonder why SNL wasn't funnier with Tina Fey on it. She was realllly boring on that show. Or it could have been that she got sidelined with all the other "AAA" (sarcasm) talent on that show.

"I didn't say I WASN'T going to see it"

"I may as well have Banks play one of his gay home invasion fantasies on me"

"Kenneth is telling cleaned up versions of Garrison Kiellor jokes"

The HD cam was a brilliant joke. I spit out my drink when I saw Liz. Then I spat it out again when I saw Jack.

Really funny episode, although the last few minutes were kind of weak.

Jenna had me cracking up the most. All of her lines were just great.

"My neice drew a picture of me and I'm so fat!"

"Ohh, don't try and move the body!"



Liked the HD thing as well.

Frank was the weakest link. Gag started out funny but got kind of dull. Actually, I take that back. Whoppi was the worst part of the episode. That whole scene should have been cut.

The crying out of the mouth killed me.

I saw the Jack Ryan pic coming from a mile away and it still cracked me up.

Tracy's talk at the end about being an idiot and it was good thing people laughed whenever he opened his mouth was great, too.

Great episode. Might be the best of the season so far.

"I'm a starrrrr.... I'm on top.... Somebody bring me a hammmmm!"

HD gags = funny
Crying out her mouth = not so much.

The saddest part of the episode is the revelation that Whoopi Goldberg has an Oscar, Grammy, Tony, and an Emmy.

And she was the freakin' head writer.

Lorne Michaels is certainly to blame.
