Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When talking about the ages of black people Toofer says that Samuel L Jackson is 61, when at the time of airing he was months shy of his 61st birthday and was only 60.

Quotes:
Liz Lemon:
Look, Jack, I don't have a lot of personal life experience, but if I have learned anything from my Sims family... when a child doesn't see his father enough, he starts to jump up and down, and then his mood level will drop until he pees himself.

...and it was actually rather entertaining. Buffoonery for sure, but it definitely knows what it is and how to keep jokes culturally relevant. This is highlighted by Liz at one point, using her parenting knowledge gained from 'The Sims' to advise Jack, who seems utterly clueless. Hilarious! The storyline with Tracy and his 'son' Donald really backs up Jack's quest to find his father very well. The appearance of Alan Alda was a welcome surprise too.
Another laugh came in the form of Liz seizing an opportunity to out-do Jenna at a photo shoot.
Overall, a good episode and I reckon I may sit down and watch some more of 30 Rock in the future. 7/10
