30 Rock -- "Cutbacks" -- 04/09/09

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Joy about the 50th "TGS" episode turns to worry when word spreads about imminent budget cuts at 30 Rock. Before long, Jack must distribute pink slips, Kenneth takes on new responsibilities, and Liz wheels and deals to spare her staffers from layoffs. Meanwhile, Jenna and Tracy suspect that Kenneth is masking a deep dark secret.



I wonder if this episode was written/produced when the "Recession" was officially announced.

More Kenneth storylines are always good. On a side-note, it's sad when I have to rely on seeing an episode thread here in TV talk to know if this week's episode is new or a re-run.

:lol: Top front? Good Lord, Lemon, that's your worst quadrant!

Kenneth, you know how you told Tracy not to go into your bedroom? Well, naturally, we assumed you were a serial killer, and, as you can imagine, your bird is dead.

Haha. Time does heal all wounds!

Jenna: "A certain Black individual" rotfl

I love it when Jack has Liz's back. :up:

I can't go back to teaching high school math. Those girls pretend they're not women yet, but they are!

It was so forced but Liz Lemon managed to pull it off.

Another gem was Kenneth's high-pitched "What?!" after Jack told him to get Showtime

It killed me when Kenneth was talking about the bird he's had for "over 60 years."

I loved the parody of the iPhone introduction when Liz did her little presentation (right down to the Steve Jobs turtleneck). Too funny!

far and away the best part of the entire episode. his face coupled with that line were instant classics. :lol:

Best line of the night for me, reading it now just makes me laugh.

Loved the annoucer reading all the names wrong, I think he made Liz into a man didn't he?

Damn, they're really on a roll with 30 Rock. I don't think I've laughed this hard at a show since Arrested Development. Great episode!

I really loved Lemon doing Steve Jobs. that was brilliant!

And the top front being her worst quadrant..

I rewatched her "negotiating" session with the consultant a couple of times it was so funny. "20 minutes, open mouth and I'll work on your ear". "30 minutes I'll make some sounds and you can say one weird thing to me." "alright, Hardball...30 minutes, sounds, top front of my body is now in play. deal?"

And her subsequent recounting to Jack: "I had to give him a little taste of The Lemon and it was not sour my friend...not sour..."

That guy was Don Pardo from SNL
