I interpreted it as her enjoying the whole drama that had just gone down. 

New Yorkers have the most interesting lives, lived in the teeniest apartments.  It's all about superlatives here.

I live in Brooklyn.  Out here, stereotypes are only 46% bullshit.

Ha, I love the idea of this as a Carrie/Mr. Big storyline!  Adam's basically the same except not a rich powerful 40something.

This scene struck a false note to me b/c I'm around nannies a lot and this was a weird U.N.-style aggregation that could conceivably happen but very seldom does.  Also, who was the red-headed weirdo?

Actually in the context of a 20something friendship group that reaction kind of made sense to me—maybe better to make light of it than pick sides.

I've never seen a bickering, bitchy, urbane French Canadian couple on TV before. 

You are right.  I noticed it once he started being in paparazzi shots, etc.  He kind of looks like a doofus when he smiles (no disrespect, I loved him on 30 Rock and he is good on MM).

"All of Them Witches"

Oh snap.

The best part was the news anchors bit.

This is an interesting question.  But I will say I always thought Suri Cruise rapping was a little bit funny.

I thought this episode was remarkable because Tracy Morgan showed some serious chops—showed he wasn't just Tracy Jordan.  Apologies if this should have been obvious, but I was impressed (only saw East Coast version, FWIW).

To beat a dead horse, walking you through the mechanics of any bit is not going to make you think it's funny.

Wait, what was she on Mad Men?  Was she one of the telephone ladies?

Reeks not wreaks!  (I'm sure this won't be the first comment to say this.) Spelling, come on!!!  It's one thing when blog commenters say "wha la" for "voila," but jeez louise you guys are supposed to be professionals!

why?

Yep.  I think the point is to entertain the actors and, secondarily, the studio audience.  The TV audience gets the short end of the stick.  Whatever.  I'll follow this show to the bitter end, I heart it so.

In Bossypants Tina Fey points to that episode as some kind of turning point where they stopped trying to be a normal TV show (if I remember correctly).

It's funny because it's true.
