"Retreat to Move Forward"
Spoiler:
Jack is nervous about the corporate retreat, so he recruits Liz to accompany him for support. Meanwhile, Jenna ends up at the mercy of Frank when she decides she needs to employ method acting to prepare for her Janis Joplin role, and Kenneth must convince Tracy that diabetes is affected by his diet.

The quick scene of Liz and Jenna's improv performance was great:lol:

More proof that Tina Fey is brilliant.

but seriously, do they just not bother with TGS anymore?

Awesome episode. "I dropped this thing when I was pretending it was my penis."

No kidding. Tonight's episode was the most we've seen of Toofer and Frank all season. Kenneth's character is starting to get a bit stale, so I hope they give him a rest for a while and focus on some of the other characters.

Great episode. A couple of my favorite lines:

"Tracy, I don't know how to say this....di...a...be...tes?"

"I sure do like them french fried potaters"
"No you don't Oprah"

"Frank was the second grossest guy I dated after Dog the Bounty Hunter" - Jenna

Not that this season hasn't been great so far but I do agree. I've been rewatching Season 1 lately and I noticed that Frank, Toofer, Lutz and Cerie were on the show much more back then... and those are good characters. I would like a TGS writing crew side plot every once in a while.

I agree.

Apart from the hillwitch crap, I really enjoyed last night's ep.

The Hillwitch crap was annoying, but I thought the payoff with Jenna scaring them both was actually pretty funny.

Yeah, Kenneth has been more annoying than funny of late...but that payoff for the Hillwitch with Tracey shoving veggies down his throat was hilarious.

A rarity, I enjoyed the subplots more than Jack & Liz.

Finally Frank has something to do. "I slutted it up all over this dirtbag!"

And I thought Kenneth's concern for Tracy was funny too, especially when Jenna the Hill Witch ran screaming into the room and terrified them both.

I've unfortunatley been to tons of Six Sigma retreats and none of them have women as hot as Tina Fey. None.

Dr. Spaceman, about diabetes: "If left untreated, you could lose a foot."
Tracy: "Could I replace it with a wheel, like Rosie the Robot?"
Dr. Spaceman: "I suppose, but then you would have to register as a motor vehicle."

As a diabetic, I thought that was hilarious...

Chris Parnell's bit as Dr. Spaceman has to be one of the funniest recurring roles on television. His delivery is absolutely perfect.

C.L.A.S.S. and L.U.N.C.H. :lol: I've never been to a retreat per se, but I've taken Six Sigma classes and those ridiculous acronyms are spot on.

QFT, and I generally had no use for him on SNL. It's the perfect match of actor to role, I think.

This episode had more one liners than I can remember. One of the best so far. L.O.V.E. this show.

You may Like Other Varieties of Entertainment, but as for me, I H.A.T.E. it -- Hope it Airs on Television Evermore.

I was surprised to see that Steve Buscemi directed this episode. Was this his first one?

I liked the dropped it pretending it was my penis and robot penis lines. Hilarious.

Jenna has been great since they introduced this Janis Joplin plotline.
Great episode. Tina does it again.
