Also, someone online noted that Gretchen looks quite a bit like Michelle Duggar. Can't stop seeing it now.





The mole women's look is based on the FLDS women. I'd say the situation was based on that Cleveland poo poo but I think that happened after it started development. I know Tina Fey's been working on it for a while.

I loved season 1 but I have to say I had somewhat of a hard time getting through season 2, and I'm not sure why. I think a big reason is I don't like Jacqueline and this season had a huge emphasis on her. It also kind of seemed all over the place with the plotlines and didn't accomplish much. Still plenty of great jokes though, and I'm sure it will improve on a rewatch.

For me, a lot of it was that I wasn't quite sure when the episode was going to end on the first watch. Since UKS was going to be on NBC originally, it was in the normal 20 minute format, which I was used to. The longer episodes threw me off on when to expect what and I'd keep pausing to see how much was left. It didn't bother me the second time through.

Then again, I liked most of the season 2 Jacqueline stuff.

I don't put it past Tina Fey. Between this and 30 Rock, there are probably dozens of cross-references to Mad Men. Also relevant to this point: Anna Camp played Bethany Van Nuys, a woman Don dates after divorcing Betty who's essentially a younger version of Betty.

(Another instance: Lillian at one point drinks a tallboy can of "Old Spanish," a fictitious drink that first appeared on 30 Rock, and that a character orders on Mad Men as a nod to that. It's apparently red wine, tonic water, and olives...which sounds absolutely disgusting.)

One of the last episodes of Mad Men actually had a direct reference to Kimmy Schmidt (Don Draper reading The Andromeda Strain).

There are plenty of recycled 30 Rock jokes, probably accidentally. The joke about the top half of a baby being better because it has the face is a 30 Rock bit.

"What white nonsense is this?" is from 30 Rock, too.

My best recollection of Jane Kraowoski on Ally McBeal was being a watered down Cheryl Tunt for broadcast television.

My only disappointment with this season was that astronaut Mike Dexter didn't show up in Titusville.

The lyrics may have come from the writer's room, but he absolutely covered the arrangement and there's a nonzero chance he helped with the lyrics, since his wife runs that room and he also directs for the show.

In fact, he directed the episode that unleashed Daddy's Boy upon an unsuspecting world, so yeah, you might as well give the man plenty of shine for it.

Hopefully this isn't much of a necro (pulled this out of my bookmarks), and a totally unhealthy, bad for you, borderline gross confirmation: Titus's suggestion of sticking a straw into your movie popcorn and running the liquid butter through that straw totally works at getting more of your popcorn buttered.

Yeah, I just stuck the straw about a third of the way down the bag, had the butter stuff flow down the straw, and then tossed the straw. Gravity did the rest, and it saturated the popcorn rather well.

I did it half as a gag and half out of curiosity, but it actually worked.

There are several episodes in the first half where she gets more screen time than Kimmy. She's also the one with the most prominent and consistent storyline.

I really feel her character doesn't even fit with what makes the premise of this show interesting, she feels like she's from a totally different show. So seeing an increased focus on her is really disappointing.
