'30 Rock': The studio gets the plague
It's almost vacation week at 30 Rock and Liz is headed to St. Bartleby's. It's her one indulgence every year. Unfortunately, Cirie informs her the hotel was booked and her vacay is off. Poor Liz Lemon.
Jack's romance. He sucks face with Elisa, which is not a storyline I love. Alec Baldwin is awesome, but seriously? Ew. He comes to her house while she's with a patient, which she says is inappropriate, so he takes them both out on the town. It's kind of boring, actually. It turns out Elisa may also be sleeping with her patient's son. Zzzzzzz...
Dr. Spaceman is giving out flu shots and Jack charges Liz with deciding which people on her staff get the last 4 flu shots. She refuses her shot because it's not fair that they don't all get one. Tracy and Jenna both get one but Liz still stands strong. She riles her crew up about the flu shots and I expect her to stand on a chair and write "Strike" on a piece of cardboard. To thank her, they get her a "meat plate." Which is exactly what it sounds like. Delicious, delicious cuts of meat on a platter.
Kenneth doesn't get a flu shot and is horribly sick with the flu. He convinces Jenna and Tracy to get their own soup instead of him having to do it. It's quite the feat. Liz's vacation is back on because of flu cancellations and she runs, terrified through the studio, trying to escape all the sick people. It's a great zombie movie parody, really well done. She asks for the last flu shot from Dr. Spaceman. Oh, Liz.
Tracy and Jenna get back from "getting soup" and it turns out they went shopping instead because they forgot about the soup. They decide to give the crew "medicine" instead of soup and by "medicine," they mean "laughter." This translates into them dressed as clowns, pelting Liz with cream pies and the crew discovering that Liz got a flu shot and she is on the outs again.
Decent episode of 30 Rock. The Liz stuff is awesome (as always) and the Jenna/Tracy stuff is awesome. The Jack stuff is boring but Alec Baldwin is still funny so it's still alright.
First off, it's Cerie, not Cirie.
"He sucks face with Elisa, which is not a storyline I love. Alec Baldwin is awesome, but seriously? Ew."- Um, why? Salma Hayek is gorgeous, and she and Alec are fun together.
"It turns out Elisa may also be sleeping with her patient's son." Absolutely not. She was trying to get him out of the room so Jack could slip out.
This is a terrible review... where is Rick Porter?
I thought one of the funniest comments came from Jenna when she tells Tracy they should get the soup and says something like, "Without the crew we'd just be two people succeeding in a vacuum". Hilarious.
I agree. Terrible review. It sounds like it was written by some kid in 5 minutes.
I loved the Michael Buble song, it was a nice continuation of the comment Selma Hayek made last week.
This p***es for a review on Zap2It?
Instead of complaining about the review(er), why don't you watch the show and make comments about what you liked, what didn't like, what you thought was worth quoting. Keep up insulting the reviewer and you're going to end up like us "Big Bang Theory" with NO review(er)
I thought the Jack/Elisa stuff was hilarious ("Is that a beak?" had me & my wife crying)
Didn't see any indication she was sleeping w/ Mr. Templeton's son...

I really enjoyed this last night. Thursday nights on NBC has become a new "date night" for me and my gf, except instead instead of going out, we make a nice late dinner and sit and laugh ourselves silly.
I'm enjoying this Salma Hayak arc and wish she could be on more often, although I'm sure she'll be gone soon since she's a big star. I also like that Jenna is getting more to do this year, but I guess that means less of Pete. I wish they could find a good balance of all 7 lead characters in a single episode. Good to see Lutz again last night too in the zombie sequence.
I don't know why the reviewer thought Alyssa was sleeping with the younger Mr. Templeton because I didn't pick that up at all.
This was a pretty weak episode. The Liz-flu storyline was the strongest, but I'm sick of Jack being set up with a celebrity guest star. I liked C.C. last season but Selma Hayek isn't doing it for me this time. Disappointing.
