Dare I say the best episode yet? The episode had everything going for it, great writing, good plot and WILL ARNETT! Hope Tina and Co. bring him back for an episode next year because he was good. Plus seeing Liz and Pete as roommates was pretty awkward yet entertaining to watch.

I hope Kenneth doesn't get into trouble with the preacher at his scary church for all that flirting.

I don't know who Will Arnett is, but he needs to hang around in teeny bathrobes and growl more. Hope he comes back.

I think this is my favorite episode. I think it's the funniest thing to be on TV all year, thanks to Alec Baldwin as Thomas Jefferson on Maury giving flipping the bird and quoting Star Wars. That's just spectacular writing there. The writers could have just stopped there and had a classic but then they go on to have Will Arnett in in a very short robe and Liz pretending to be in AA to be closer to Floyd. I love Liz's speech of her weird secret stuff. So sad, so funny.

I actually submitted Will Arnett, as best guest star, for this year's Tubeys. To be honest, I didn't watch AD, but I thought he was perfect in this role, and watching him and Alec Baldwin square off, was awesome. And his scene with Kenneth was priceless. I defintely hope he's coming back.

Besides that, I also have to say this was one of my favorite episodes. When I think of 30 Rock, one of the first images is Jack dressed up like Thomas Jefferson, flipping the bird. I.... just wonder how they came up with that shit. Because that was brilliant!

Yes, this episode is amazing. Maybe not my favorite, but like so many 30 Rock episodes, I laughed and laughed. It was some crazy stuff, Toofer's "heritage", Jack dressed up as Jefferson.. The best thing was most definitely Will Arnett and his... love for Kenneth. Oh yes, and his very short robe.

Also love that Pete moved in with Liz and them having matching outfits.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I first saw that robe, I laughed so hard liquid would have been coming out of my ears.

"If this turns into a showdown you could have a talking this contest."

"That's a very short robe."
"Yeah, I had to cut it down myself."

"Touch the peacock...ohhh, you're a peacock..."
Just the words were priceless. But Kenneth's little peguin dance move after that sealed my eternal love for this show.

This is my favorite episode! At random times I will think, "7:52. You warlock- you came to entrance me!" Ha, it's all about Will Arnett's delivery.

And the AD references! Al Roker singing "Afternoon Delight," and "Tobias."

I just found out that the fireworks show was actual footage from NBC's 75th anniversary show, which happened not long after 9/11. I had no idea that was real!

A few of my coworkers were here and didn't know what was going on and almost called security because they thought 30 Rock was being bombed. Heh.

I'm guessing the real fireworks show wasn't shut down?

Tobias? I do not recall that.

It was Twofer's grandfather's name, if I remember correctly.

"Confederate Monster: The Tobias Spurlock Disaster"

Ergh, every time I see an ad for NBC's Phenomenon (reality show involving magicians, hosted by Uri Gellar and Criss Angel), all I can think of is poor Jack Donaghy, bereft of Liz Lemon's help and flailing for an idea until he comes up with... fireworks.

Just have to add my love for this episode-- I just got the S1 DVDs for Christmas (my roommates and I did our exchange tonight cos everyone is going away tomorrow) and I popped in what I thought was disk 1 and was actually Disk 3. I remember laughing my ass off when watching "Fireworks", so I decided to put that one on again and it has not disappointed.

So many hysterical things in this episode, I don't know where to begin. Liz's hot dog guy cutting her off, Devin being a creep and wearing a way too short robe, the talking like this contest, Liz's legs falling asleep and her falling flat on her face, Tracy's Maury Povich dream with Jack as Thomas Jefferson (the whole "I rode a horse all the way from heaven" thing), and of course, the actual fireworks going off. So funny to know that that was from something real. How did that manage to happen? I live in New York and I don't remember it!

In any case, this is definitely one of my very favourite episodes of all time.

The one that comes after that, Corporate Crush, is great, too. Tracy's Jefferson trailer is genius!

I don't remember the real anniversary show being an issue in NYC either (although I don't watch anything but my shows so I wouldn't have seen the special) but a quick Googling found this:

Thanks for that tidbit, naugastyle-- I knew it was based on an actual event, but I hadn't gotten the full reference about it. Not to mention that Tina Fey was a writer of the special? Bwah! That's excellent.
