In "Bossypants" she kept talking about how she wanted 30 Rock to be a conventional ratings juggernaut a la "Friends" but after "Black Tie" there was no going back. Couple that with the fact that most of the great 30 Rock episodes…

@avclub-525f76574b3a2a5bcb4da793c92a16fb:disqus I would watch the shit out of that movie. It can be "TGS Hates Women" writ large.

This is the only episode where the biggest laughs came from Winston. And it felt so great.

It's Calvinball!

Idk… it just seems like its dialogue-shaping and not even being subtle about it. "We the critics have decided how you unwashed should feel…" etc.

I really hate these articles.

Now that I know this was a Greg Daniels episode, it makes Michael recycling this line in "Phyllis's Wedding" a little less egregious. A little.

*Toilet flush*

"Some American Idol also-ran is singing Christina Aguilera karaoke! THIS IS A WATERSHED MOMENT"

They seriously have no idea what the fuck to do with Winston.

Hahaha Rabin doesn't know how to read either

I don't remember where it was, but they interviewed her as an adult about this and she was sooooo creeped out.

That's bullshit. "Oh he's gay! It's going to take a MIRACLE to stop him from having sex in a phone booth…" Some things WERE better left in the 90s.

God bless you, sir.

I thought for sure that was a joke headline. O'Neal writing Newswires is making the line between this and The Onion so blurry…

Oh, do you research, Shutton!

Answer: your penis IS really weird.

A David Ben-Gurion joke on network TV? Staged primarily for an audience in New York? Yeah… It was definitely just for you, Sims.

Buhhh? Was that in the episode? Party Down reference?
