Seriously, Jan Hooks needs to lay off the food and booze. She looks 10 times bigger and older since the last time she was on "30 Rock". Which was, what, last year!?

Not only that but Matthew Weiner was a writer/producer of BITCH HUNTER. Some decent moments but Jan Hooks needs to be banned from TV asap - seeing what she has become is fucking depressing.

The couple of times Verna told Jack that she "had the meat" were some of the creepiest moments ever broadcast on network TV.

Lutz's mom and more Bitch Hunter were great.

There was a lot of funny stuff, but I didn't like it as a whole episode. There were just too many things going on and all of them felt very rushed. These last few episodes haven't been that great to me.

Good to see robot guy, though

"Very different...like a cantalope and a ziplock bag of mushroom soup."

I really want to see Bitch Hunter picked up for a full season.

Loved Tracy's Guiness record, and that he recorded an anti-condom PSA.

Tina Fey has a surprisingly decent rack, that or the bra she was wearing was doing an excellent job.

Buzz Aldrin is a terrible actor which cracked me up.

My favorite line was Jack's mother noting that her church in Boston was called "Our Lady of Reluctant Integration." Hilarious.

Agree on both counts. Great shouts at the moon!

This show is still peaking in my opinion, my favorite sitcom episode almost every week.

Great episode, there were several laugh out loud moments

"I think she'll be good enough for the star of Sherlock Homie"

I thought Buzz did a good job for someone who is obviously not an actor.

I also loved when Buzz Aldrin asked Liz:

"Would you like to yell at the Moon with Buzz Aldrin?"
