3-12 Weecap	Correcting the Market Larry King - Tracy uses his appearance on Larry King Live as an opportunity to crumble the stock market, throw the city of New York into a panic and possibly end Jack and Elisa’s relationship. Oh, and Lemon loses her cell phone.	2009.02.26 2009.03.02	A	Michael Neal

3-7 Weecap	Life Makes You Sweet Food Post-Nup - It would seem that Jack and Lemon are on opposite paths of love. Jack has a cancer scare and runs into the arms of Salma Hayek. Lemon, on the other hand, guilt dates a midget -- and a highly successful one at that. Love. How's that Janis Joplin song go?

She's still an unpopular nerd but not for the reasons you think.	2008.12.04 2008.12.08	A	Michael Neal
3-4 Weecap	Vivid Entertainment Gavin Volure - Is an agoraphobe still an agoraphobe when he’s wanted on taxes? Steve Martin has the answer but doesn’t spill it until he’s fallen for Lemon and wrecked Jack and Kenneth’s joint stock investment. Thank God for Tracy’s sex doll to make sense of all this.	2008.11.24	A+	Michael Neal
3-3 Weecap	Remember the Early '90s? The One With the Cast of Night Court - 30 Rock resurrects one-half the cast of Night Court and one-sixth the cast of Friends for a one hundred percent NBC sitcom orgy. This one goes out to you, Brandon Tartikoff.	2008.11.13 2008.11.17	C+	Michael Neal
3-2 Weecap	The Oprah Effect Believe in the Stars - 30 Rock puts a post-mortem of sorts on the black men vs. white women debate by reaching out to truly the only healer capable enough to bridge such a divide: O.J. Ha! Just kidding. Oprah. They used Oprah.	2008.11.06 2008.11.11	A	Michael Neal
3-1 Weecap	Not So Fast, Shark Do-Over - 30 Rock is brand new with an exciting premiere that tempts television fate by stoking the flames of romance between Lemon and Jack. Will they or won't they? Here's a hint: they might but they won't. Also, exciting special guest star Sarah Palin! Or is that Tina Fey? Wait, which one kills things and says maverick?	2008.10.30 2008.11.03	B	Michael Neal
2-15 Weecap	No Period? Exclamation Point! Cooter - With all these ex-boyfriends entering back into the picture this was bound to happen, was it not? Lemon is faced with a life-altering event. Meanwhile Jack goes to Washington and Kenneth to Beijing, hopefully.	2008.05.08 2008.05.09	A-	Michael Neal
2-14 Weecap	Your Sandwich, My Heart Sandwich Day - The Floyd is back and I don't mean Roger Waters. Lemon's ex-issues continue this episode causing her to nearly lose her sanity and her lunch (not like that). Kenneth falls hard on the sword again and Jenna drinks Brian Dennehy under the table.	2008.05.01 2008.05.02	B	Michael Neal
2-13 Weecap	The Uncanny Valley Succession - 30 Rock uses porn videogames to reference Amadeus, a movie over 23 years old. Guess what? Still funny. But Jack ain't laughing. He just lost his job to Banks, the mother of all beards.	2008.04.24 2008.04.25	B+	Michael Neal
2-12 Weecap	Subway Hero Subway Hero - Liz's ex Dennis is suddenly a hero. So he asks for her hand in marriage the way that Joe Pesci asks back a bad plate of fish. And Tracy delivers a Presidential speech on race that is full of hope … if you're Karl Rove.	2008.04.17 2008.04.18	B-	Michael Neal
2-11 Weecap	MILF Island MILF Island - It's the Decline of Western Civilization Part IV: The Lemon Years. We bear witness to the birth of a star on MILF Island and at the same time Lemon spirals downwards in lies and deceit.	2008.04.10 2008.04.11	B	Michael Neal
2-10 Weecap	Coffee & TV Coffee & TV - "Love story" in German is "eine Liebegeschichte," possibly the two most unromantic words I've ever heard or tried to say. It's no wonder then that an episode packed with Germans would see love fade away, despite an awesome Gladys-Knight-inspired musical number.	2008.01.10 2008.01.11	A+	Michael Neal
2-9 Weecap	Ludachristmas Ludachristmas - The gang tries to party like rap stars but it gets shut down by Kenneth and his Reverend's gift of wood. Meanwhile, Lemon explores her family ties. Sha-na-na-na!	2007.12.13 2007.12.14	B+	Michael Neal
2-8 Weecap	Secrets And Lies Secrets And Lies - Lemon soothes egos, ignores a feud, endangers a love match, and forgets her birthday without ever using her American Express.	2007.12.06 2007.12.07	B+	Michael Neal
2-7 Weecap	Cougars Cougars - A very American episode, featuring baseball, gay exploration, mother issues, and a denunciation of the Iraq War...wait a minute that's un-American! The baseball threw us.	2007.11.29 2007.11.30	B-	Michael Neal
2-6 Weecap	Somebody To Love Somebody To Love - Some episodes are like love, which is like a battlefield, filled with jokes and one-liners and short-form explosives. But still other times episodes can be...how can I put this…not like battlefields? And while the jokes aren't literally blanketed across the field of endeavor, there may still be a big bang waiting to explode at the end, in the form of a gag about a dog and a shotgun.	2007.11.15 2007.11.16	B	Michael Neal
2-5 Weecap	Greenzo Greenzo - Sexy Rock is more like it: Lemon makes out with Grizz, Pete makes out with his wife, tiger orgasms, drunken Dutch girls, foxy boxing, and Al Gore!	2007.11.08 2007.11.09	A-	Michael Neal
2-4 Weecap	Rosemary's Baby Rosemary's Baby - The episode looks at the parents we choose in -- horrors! -- the workplace. Also, there is a page-off.	2007.10.25 2007.10.26	A	Sobell

2-2 Weecap	Jack Gets In The Game Jack Gets In The Game - Jack grapples with Devin -- not like that -- for a favored spot with Sheinhart Wig Company CEO Geiss.	2007.10.11 2007.10.12	B	Sobell
2-1 Weecap	SeinfeldVision SeinfeldVision - Liz comes back from vacation to Jack's latest bad idea, Jenna's latest professional setback, and Tracy's latest…life situation.	2007.10.04 2007.10.05	B+	Sobell

Read on to find out more about his sartorial sense, his Second City notoriety, and what he had to do with Friends and Silly Putty.	2007.09.14 2007.09.14	N/A	Wing Chun
