30 Rock -- Season Finale -- "Kidney Now!" -- 5/14/09

30 Rock

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Season 3 closes with Jack trying to connect with his biological father (Alan Alda), but the elder's health begins to suffer. Elsewhere, Liz gains fame as a relationship expert. Among the music artists appearing: Sheryl Crow; Mary J. Blige; Elvis Costello; Clay Aiken; and Adam Levine of Maroon 5.



Sounds like a fun episode. I really enjoyed picking up the show this season. Hopefully I will have some time this summer to visit season 1 and 2...through Netflix streaming.

Great episode

"Science was my favorite subject, especially the Old Testament"

The Tracy crying montage was great

Loved this shout out to the final episode of M*A*S*H*! Wonder how much of the audience missed it?

I didn't miss it, I just didn't get it.

This episode was weak compared to the last few weeks, but at least it had Beastie Boys in it.

I completely missed the M*A*S*H reference and now that Adboy has pointed it out I feel stupid.

I almost shot a load when he said that.

Liked the concert too, although I wish I recognized more of them. I knew Cyndi Lauper, and the ones that Jack had in his office, but who was the guy with Sheryl Crow?

The man with Sheryl Crow was Adam Levine, lead singer of Maroon Five.

Moby and I think Feist? Jenna too the mic from Moby.

Michael McDonald, Steve Earle and Wyclef Jean,
2 of the beastie Boys


I loved liz telling the lady with the gay boyfriend that she had fruit blindness! Or at least that's what I heard her say

And Jack telling Clay Aiken that his Cousin Kenneth had promised he would do the benefit was great

I didn't miss it, I just didn't get it.
I missed it too but maybe it is a good thing and I don't go overboard on watching every tv show in the last 30 years


This episode was ok but not up to par with the last 4 months of shows.

Parks and Recreation was actually better than this weeks show.

will the new season of 30 rock start in Oct or Nov this year?

I was shocked to see Steve Earle there. This wasn't one of the better episodes, IMO, but it had its moments.

I liked Jack's line about Declan McManus, international art thief.

Sometimes one is better than two
if you had two heads you'd wish you had one
how is this different?
If you had two dogs attacking you
you'd want just one
there i proved my point!

With the exception of the benefit song and the Tracy crying montage, I thought this was pretty ho-hum and easily one of the worst episodes of 30 Rock in a long time - it was still decent, but kind of disappointing.

wow, I must have been the minority - I really thought this episode was hysterical - from the ending to the Liz's love life recommendations (I'd love to see the outtakes of that!).

Give the gift of giving!

The part where Elvis explains that you know it's serious because he's talking in the middle of the song had me rolling.

That had me crying.

I also loved the part when Jenna walked in on Jack, Adam, and Sheryl Crow and he noted they were European.

Can someone point out the MASH reference (I know I missed it).
