I chuckled a few times - Jenna's salami-scented fanmail, Helen Mirren referred to as a slut that wins Oscars, Liz's Carrie Bradshaw journaling moment at the end turned Zappos customer service email.

But even with limiting the sex idiot's cameo, this was overall a bigger drop in quality from last week. It does fit with the lets tank NBC attitude from the previous eps.

I thought the sex idiot thing was funny. The whole ep was basically from Bossypants Tina's boo in which she has a chapter about the debate about if women are funny or not.

Wasn't the title of this episode "Stride of Pride"? It was not as funny as the previous 2 but still wasn't awful.

You can blame Tina Fey since she wrote this episode. Probably this was also a response to what Adam Carolla said about women comics a few months ago.

so the response about women being unfunny was a woman writing a terribly unfunny episode?

I thought it was a decent episode. No better or worse than the show has been in years.

Something tells me there will be a lot of Bossypants this season.

Last week was about the Fey/Palin thing, this week was about the women aren't funny thing, there was even a reference to the gay kids and the multicolor dreamcoat.
