It's too hard for me to find the line between Tracy Morgan the person and the characters he plays. Seeing him in interviews makes it seem like Tracy Jordan wasn't a character and they just let him exist on the show.

The only difference between Tracy Morgan and Tracy Jordan was the amount of cursing.

I read an anecdote somewhere that one of the writers would follow Tracy Morgan around and just write down crazy poo poo he said for scripts.

If he really is that crazy, that's kind of sad.

It's my favorite episode of the season, next to the one with Cork Rockingham.

This might be crazy, but Liz is the shittiest character in 30 Rock with the least jokes and the worst plots.

Every character in the show is funnier because she is so middle of the road and a loser, and after 7 loving years of constant "Liz is so fat and disgusting *beautiful brunette covered in perfect Hollywood make-up tries to pretend to look fat eating doughnuts* it's clear as day to me that Liz only exists as a window through which we can enjoy Jenna, Jack, Tracey, Kenneth, Pete & the Pranksmen.

I loved 30 Rock, watched it start to finish 4-5 times it really Tina Fey is a an excellent writer and a really weirdly conservative, sexist and boring comedienne.

I was about to start S3 but realized I don't remember season 2 at all so I think I might just rewatch the series, but did anything important happen in S1 or can I just jump back to S 2 without missing anything.

No one said she was fat just that she had terrible taste in clothing and was a junk food addict. People said she was pretty as a model in Cleveland.

These words came out of Jack "the Master Baiter" Donaghy: Technically, you're a catch. You've got money, status, naturally thick hair, a decent set.

If Jack was saying she was a catch, then she probably is. Just has poor taste in shoes and probably should eat less night cheese

Or not use cheese instead of broth when making soup

Or sleepeating pizza and waffles

Or shoveling the entire teamster hoagie (and dipping sauce) in her mouth at the airport (this is one of my favorite scenes though)

Also I don't mind admitting that the very first time I really noticed the difference between SD and HD resolution was watching 30 Rock at a friend's house and thinking "drat I can see her cleavage as clear as if she were sitting right here in the room!".

Maybe they don't make a big deal about her being overweight but "Liz is unappealing" is a constant source of jokes throughout her series run (hot pants episode?) and I just never ever bought it.

I feel like it was about how society generally tells women they're unattractive so you buy a product. I have an incredibly gorgeous friend who lives in Brooklyn and she is always telling me when I say she looks good that she is barely a 5 for NYC, a city full of models and actresses and women who look they're them.

Yea, from how she talks, either its that, or women are stereotypical old timey new yorker ladies like Georges mom. Then when she was visiting here, we were out and people kept thinking she was a model, so Toronto is the Cleveland of Canada.

Unappealing because she's a slob, which is true because she is, not for other reasons.

For instance, when she taped her bra together, had food in her hair, or wore those overalls.

Yep, when you move to a major city you instantly drop attractiveness points. I've lived in London and Paris and constantly felt like my appearance wasn't sleek and polished enough. Working in a city usually means spending more time and money on your appearance, so while Liz is pretty, she doesn't really have that NYC look and stands out.
