Every week I watch The Office and think "that was pretty good". Then 30 Rock comes on and blows me away.

Fantastic episode. A couple of great lines in there as usual.

I'm beginning to think I'm not smart enough for this show. It's just not as funny to me as seasons 1 and 2 (1 in particular) anymore.
It's funny just not THAT funny

I really don't understand how this show can be so consistently funny. They have incredible writing/acting.

Hilarious episode.

Oh, I mentioned this like a month back but in case it wasn't seen (which it probably wasn't). A review for A Blaffair to Rememblack.

Only started watching this season. I always felt the show seemed a little too off the wall for me, but I really regret not catching the previous seasons now! Every episode I've seen this season has been better than the last.

This show is very good at taking simple stories and pulling great, unexpected jokes and unpredictable situations from them.

The finance interns were the highlight of this episode for me. Tracy was hilarious trying to keep up with their party habits, and Baldwin's joke about Pelosi's recession had me cracking.

"Pictures of latin america babies and the music of Tito Fuente"

What a great show!

My daughter started watching season 1 on dvd. I just about fell off my chair!! I cant believe how laugh out loud funny this show is. I believe it deserves all the attention it has been getting and DO think that it is the funniest show on TV. I'm watching S3 now but hope to catch up on all the episodes soon!

I love the show, but I just hope that the Selma Hayek (sp??) arc is done. Who thought she would funny?

I don't think she's on the show because of her comedic talent.

Don't know if this has been posted yet but it's audio of Tracy going off on the set at the camera operator:

Is the Emmy for best comedy decided on the strength of one episode submitted? If so, I think 30 Rock has the inside track with this one. This has easily been the best of the season if you ask me, even if it is a non-Spaceman episode.
