    A Classic!

    This is the tenth episode of the third season of 30 Rock and it's a near comedy classic. To this date, the episode is the highest-rated of the series and it deserves it. Alec Baldwin is excellent as always, but he takes it to a new level by playing two characters, including one with a Hispanic background. Jon Hamm makes a great addition to the cast as Liz's new neighbor.

    In this episode, "Generalissimo," Elisa's grandmother hates Jack because he looks very similar to an evil general in a Spanish television program, so Jack decides to change the personality of the general. Meanwhile, Liz tries to woo her new neighbor by doing unpractical things like open his mail.

    Overall, this is a fantastic episode and it's one of my favorites. It has a strong screenplay and the jokes work almost every time. I rate this episode 9/10.

    • Trivia
      Tina Fey wrote the character of Dr. Drew Baird with Jon Hamm in mind. She even referred to the character as "Jon Hamm" early on but did not think they would be able to get him to guest star on the series. Executive producer Lorne Michaels approached Hamm about "30 Rock" while he was hosting Saturday Night Live (1975), and Hamm, who was on hiatus from filming Mad Men (2007), agreed immediately.
