The Bubble was another pretty amusing episode of "30 Rock"
22 April 2009 | by (Baton Rouge, La.) – See all my reviews

In this episode, we find out Liz' Dr. Drew lives in a bubble due to his handsome looks and is inept at everything as a result, Jack causes Tracy to quit the show when he inadvertently tells him how rich he is, and Jenna decides to have her hair cut on "Today" to get more attention than Tracy...Written by series creator Tina Fey, "The Bubble" is more subtly amusing than hilarious though as always, there are many clever lines and visual gags that make the whole thing go down easy in that most unique "30 Rock" way. Loved Jenna's reference to both "the Rachel" and "Felicity, season 2" in reference to her upcoming haircut and Jack's getting his black accountant to disguise his voice as Bill Cosby in a failed phone call negotiation with Tracy. Then there's Jon Hamm's ineptness at both tennis and motorcycle riding...
