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.

We've missed most of this season, but this was a very funny ep and Martin was just perfect. It was like taking his old wacky days and channeling them into a very focussed performance.
And Fey just gets more delicious everytime I see her.

I don't care what anyone says, -all- the eps have been great so far and this one was great too.

This was an alright episode. Steve was good until the big 'reveal', after that he cranked it to 11 and was too over the top. Tracy's storyline wasn't very good but had a some good gags, like using split screen to play his own sex doll. I think it would have been funnier if his doll had at least had one hand in the GI Joe kungfu grip/jackoff position. Having the classic sex doll O mouth would have been funny too, but the censors might have had a problem.

That entire scene where Jack and Liz were talking about relationships (ending with the "do i have a black thing?" line) was pure gold.

Some funny stuff--Kenneth dancing Rockit on the street corner and lines others have already mentioned--but I still think the season's been down so far.

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.
Oh, still?
Keep us all posted.
