30 Rock - "Jack Meets Dennis" - 11/30/06
Liz confesses she went back to her ex (Dean Winters) because he asked; Jack takes it upon himself to be Liz's mentor.
This show goes from strength to strength.
Baldwin and Fey could talk about anything and I'd watch it, the back and forth between them is fantastic.

I like the rapid fire questioning as Alec Baldwin was trying to trip up Jane Krakowski's lying about her age.
That Elizabeth Taylor shit was just stupid. Rachel Dratch left SNL for this?

Jack's hand signals to Liz were great
His line about he couldn't take off his beeper because he was expecting a call a from 1983 was hilarious

It's at least four times. I may be missing one, but even so I don't think she has appeared in every episode.
1. Cat wrangler
2. Maid on the Yacht
3. butch teenage Lemon in a flashback
4. Liz Taylor

This episode was great. I think I'm starting to enjoy 30 Rock more than The Office.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but Dratch was originally supposed to be the lead on the fake show. The network didn't think she was pretty enough. It really kind of screwed her over because she left SNL (and NBC by that point knew they were going to cut the budget, so there wasn't really any opportunity to do a Parnell-style-hire-back). Fey went to these idiotic cameos I'm guessing out of pity because they pretty much suck ass.
That said, I think this was the strongest episode yet. Baldwin was on fire.
