The Ru... what?, 8 October 2008
10/10
Author: Max_cinefilo89 from Italy

The tenth episode of 30 Rock's first season is fairly Jenna-centric, a decision that pays off thanks to Jane Krakowski's endless energy and endearing interaction with Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch (this time appearing as Barbara Walters).

The main plot focuses on the Jenna's new film, which is about to hit theaters. Liz has been mispronouncing the title for weeks, and is relieved to finally read it correctly: The Rural Juror, based on a novel by Kevin Grisham (John's fictional brother). Unfortunately, it just so happens Liz hates he movie anyway, a fact Jenna interprets as jealousy since everyone else seems to like it. In the meantime, Tracy is in a desperate need for cash and asks Jack for help. Together, they come up with the idea of shooting an infomercial for a new product: the Tracy Jordan Meat Machine.

Krakowski has always been very funny in previous episodes (most notably The Aftermath), and here she gets to have a little more screen-time than usual, using that opportunity to prove she truly deserved the role (it was originally intended for Dratch) and has genuine chemistry with Fey. Added laughs come from the Jack/Tracy subplot, with another appearance by Chris Parnell as Dr. Spaceman and a clever joke about Whoopi Goldberg. To (mis)quote Tracy: Dyn-o-mite!
