I laughed quite a few times during this episode. The 2 main subplots provide enough laughs to tune in next week as well. The scenes with Baldwin and the Kenny character are gold. As far as Liz goes,

The show seems much more natural now, less forced, characters are more interesting, and it's fairly good. Hopefully it'll stick around.

That was a good episode.
Lemon choking to realize she should go on the blind date was funny stuff.
"Those shoes are definitely bi-curious."
I just noticed the giant oven picture on Jack's wall...lol...
Kenneth vs. Jack was great...

This show is gold when Baldwin or Morgan are on screen, but I think they actually found something decent for Fey to do this episode. This might just end up being a keeper if they can keep the ratings up.

Very funny ep. The Lemon flashbacks were great.
Baldwin is so good at what he does I've actually grown to love him even more thanks to this show.

It's a winner as far as I am concerned, no questions asked.
Kenneth was great!

The first couple episodes were funny only thanks to Alec Baldwin, but now the show is more well rounded.
On an unrelated note, I'm developing an unhealthy crush on Tina Fey, which gets worse with each episode.

I also loved the interaction with Alec Baldwin's character and Kenneth. That made the episode for me. When Kenneth laid down his cards on that last hand, did anyone else think he had a flush? I could have sworn they all looked like the same suit.

Just finished watching this one. I would agree with everyone who said that there weren't a lot of laugh out loud moments, but it was still funny and entertaining. It does seem the show is beginning to gel a bit better. I was on the fence before this episode but am now leaning more toward keeping it in my TV rotation.

Awesome episode, easily the best so far. I was ready to drop this show, but this was gold. Maybe it was the lack of Krakowski, or not dealing with the show within the show, or the lack of focus on Morgan, but this was a great episode.

^ I certainly agree. It was the right balance of characters this week. I wasn't sure about this show after the pilot, but I think I'll keep it around as well.

That's the first thing I thought, too.This show finally got a laugh from the wife. That could be a sign of good things to come.
