I gotta disagree. That Toby talking head where he said something (and sorry, but I forgot exactly what since I watched 30 Rock twice in a row immediately after) about how Michael may have been a trainwreck, but he certainly kept people's minds off of the mindblowing tedium of their jobs - that is the point, and that's why this arc is working for me. And it's too bad that I can't remember what it was he said because I think it is a great point and a great way to highlight the difference between the original series and the current one. I gotta love that Idris Elba is coming off as the heavy for doing nothing more than finally putting Michael in his place.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

He compared Michael to the movie you watch on a plane.

He's being such a bitch to Jim, too!

The "how people see the world" thing was great, especially Kenneth's puppets.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Right. It passes the time, and once it's over, all you do is think, "How much longer until we land?"

Thanks! Yes, I knew I liked that line.

When they cut from Kenneth's view of the Liz Lemon muppet to Tina Fey doing a muppet walk down the hall, I made the weirdest noise and then fell of the couch. I think it was my equivalent of puking like Jack.

I lost it at that point. I'm sure that my neighbor heard my "HA!" across the hall through two closed doors.

My Name Is Earl had me LOLing a lot too. I wonder if they're going to keep some awkwardness continuity.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I loved Pam's "Oh, no" before she followed Michael. Like she saw what she was about to do but was powerless to stop herself.
Good night on NBC!

P-C -- they do have continuity on Earl for sure. I liked the idea of Pinky being inside the outside bitch and inside the inside bitch, too.
