I very rarely laugh at loud with my favorite comedy shows. (I'm kinda' a muffled chuckler at best).

But the deaf lady and Liz's muppet walk made me freakin' howl. Holy hell that was good stuff.

This episode was absolutely hilarious. I think I was laughing at almost every other scene.

Great episode. I like how Dennis self-diagnosed himself on WebMD with sex addiction.

This episode didn't connect with me like it did with many of you, but it might have been because things were a bit chaotic the first time I tried to watch or something. To me, it doesn't come close to the Funcooker.

With that said, the Muppet stuff killed me, as did the location of the coffee machine and the phone sex commercial. It was like the episode wasn't quite as strong as the sum of its parts, perhaps.

I rarely laugh out loud while watching sitcoms but damn if that line didn't make me burst out laughing. It was the funniest line I've heard in a while. The deaf lady's delivery was perfect.

I laughed out loud several times. Oddly enough I didn't find the deaf lady that funny. Her acting sucked (unless she's deaf in real life - then I apologize)

Re: 30 Rock - - "Apollo, Apollo" - - 3/26/09

this was by far the funniest tv show I've seen in a long time.

My god the muppets through kenny eyes had me hurting myself
with Jack as a muppet then finishing his line as a human.
Lemons Muppet walking was genius.

Let's just give them the Best Comedy Emmy right now. No other show on the air even comes close to being this funny, or clever, as consistently as 30 Rock.

^and it really sucks that more people don't watch it. It's on after The Office, you'd think Office fans are the perfect audience for 30 Rock. At least NBC has shown some dedication to this show.

While this is true, 30 Rock has built up about 1m new viewers each year so that bodes pretty well for it (the first season averaged, I think, 5.5m viewers. This season is closer to 7.5m). So theres that at least, I'm just glad it has been greenlit for Season 4.

Edit:

Found this on Wikipedia, seems about right (Season / Overall Ranking amongst Broadcast shows / Avg. Mil Viewers)

Season 1 - #102 - 5.8m
Season 2 - #94 - 6.4m
Season 3 - #64 - 7.64m

Though what really keeping it solid and on the air? It's the #4 most watched show amongst individuals making $100,000 or more and the median annual salary for viewers between 25 and 52 was $65,000. Cha-ching.

I love the list that Jack had, one of the items was

) Live in a house with stairs.

was that a gaffe, but when Liz walks into Jack's office it almost sounds like she says "Jonathan" not "Jack"

Finally watched this episode. It's amazing when I read through this thread and realize how many lines I miss from laughing.

All the scenes "through Kennith's eyes scenes, including Liz's muppet walk.




I must of missed the 'through Tracy's eyes" bit the 1st time.
