30 Rock - "Do Over"

SPOILER WARNING: The season premiere of "30 Rock" is available at NBC.com and Hulu ahead of it's airing on Thursday. If you haven't watched the episode yet, I'd advise waiting to read this.

The wait for the funniest show on television is finally over thanks to Hulu. With all the Emmy and SNL buzz for Tina Fey, I've been seriously jonesing for some TGS. This wasn't their greatest episode, but it was hilarious and brightened my very long day. For the most part, the gang has just barely moved on from where we left them. The Gay Bomb worked for Jack, getting him back to NBC to reclaim his job from Banks. Liz on the other hand was back on task to try to adopt, and Tracy had his porn video game finally finished.

With that, let's break it down. Liz was entertaining a crazy adoption lady played by an underused Megan Mullally of "Will and Grace" fame. Despite the fact that Liz cleaned up her apartment, it seemed like her co-workers were going to sabotage her chances. Fortunately for her, Bev suffered a head injury that allowed her to completely do her interview over again. One of the best moments of the episode of Frank's refusal at first to take off his "Horny" hat, but eventually changing it...for another hat that said "Horny." Sadly, Bev recovered and in the end, Liz needed to keep searching for a new adoption agency.

Jack was a little busy in "Do Over" as well trying to get back his job from the evil Devin Banks. Will Arnett was absolutely hilarious as a Devin gone crazy from stress and his marriage to Kathy Geiss. Jack, using his go-getting abilities, was quickly climbing his way up through the mail room when he discovered Kathy could give him his job back by sleeping with her. Turns out, luckily for him, that Kathy just wanted to live out her favorite soap operas. Jack played along, leading to a hilarious almost kiss with Liz.

The rest of the cast, Jenna, Kenneth, and Tracy were largely written off all episode. Jenna was angry that Tracy didn't pay her for her voice work on his porn game, leading to a little drama. Kenneth was hardly even there. These guys need to be pumped up as the season goes on, but for now, it's great to see Liz and Jack again.
