"I'm proud of the wordplay, not the sentiment."

If she starts losing her top every week I'll worry that Penny is being turned into a Benny Hill girl.  For now Imma just relax and enjoy.

It does give Amy Madigan a different note to play.

What I enjoy about the fireball show is the sense of conspiracy that develops between the carnies and the townies.  At the end of it Stumpy outright sells them on the idea of the show being a way to punk their friends.  Granted, during the Depression not everyone will have a sense of humor about wasting their money on…

As to 30 Rock, Berle took out the Monster at least once while he was hosting SNL, when writer Alan Zweibel was foolish enough to mention it.

I once saw someone, I think Ben Vereen, do an impression of Humphrey Bogart that put Little's act to shame.  I don't know if it's because he tries to do to many to get any of them right, but it's strange that he has gotten so famous just for that.

"Dream Operator" is an overlooked song because it's from the True Stories soundtrack, and no one likes that movie.  It's a good song,though, and I was glad to hear it revived for the credits.

I think Moe's answer for "Moe gunk" is white wine vinegar.

I didn't mean it in a bad way when I said I was surprised.  Taran did a perfectly fine job, and his voice may be closer to the mark than Moynihan's would have been.  And I'd be very surprised if he weren't in the repertory cast next season.  They seem to have been grooming him for a while now.

Actually I was thinking that.  No reveal that he had a crush on Templeton, but I wouldn't be too surprised.

With Bobby Moynihan in the cast and Jonah Hill hosting, I was a little surprised they went with Taran as Rush Limbaugh.

Wiig broke while playing Liza Minnelli, too.

There's that moment just after Templeton flees from the speakeasy.  The lights go down and everyone falls silent.  It almost looks like they're frozen, which would be TZ enough.  Then Laura steps forward with a rueful expression on her face.  That moment, I think, elevates the episode from good to great.

That one I like.  There's no way they could have made it look convincing in 1960, but I'd rather see an SFX failure than a failure of storytelling.

What's with Kenneth's denim three piece suit?  You're not introducing Warren Haynes at a county fair, man

It's the difference between the old guard and the new.  Michael Scott was a great salesman (no, really) because he believed in Dunder-Mifflin and his team.  Robert California has the skills of a great salesman, but he believes in nothing.  If Sabre wastes millions on a store that will never open, well, he's got his…

I liked Ryan telling Andy that he had put the news about Erin on his Tumblr, and Andy's subsequent whining about how he never updates it.

OTHER SPOILERS

As far as the spoiler goes: Yep.

I do like that scene because it feels like Ben finding his voice.  He's an odd duck as a show's hero, but here some heroic qualities emerge.
