Out of a job, Liz was miserable as a stay-at-home mom of adopted twins. Conversely, her husband, Criss (played by guest star James Marsden), hates steady employment. "It's OK to want to work," he consoled Liz. "One of us has to. We just got it backwards: You're the dad." "I do like ignoring your questions while I try to watch TV," Liz agreed. (Interestingly, Liz was seen a year hence back at work producing a dumb sitcom with her children in tow. Where was hubby Criss?) During the finale, "30 Rock" didn't hesitate to snack on its own past. Liz and Tracy had an awkward heart-to-heart at the strip club where Tracy lured her on their first encounter on the series' premiere. And a high point of the episode came when Jenna revisited the project she starred in years ago, a film with the lips-scrunching title "Rural Juror" (which inevitably comes out sounding something like "ruhr juhr").
On the farewell "TGS," Jenna performed the theme from her new musical adaptation of "Rural Juror," with, inevitably, almost nothing she sang recognizable as English. It served as a reminder: "30 Rock" wasn't just a brilliant comedy series. It also forged a comic language all its own. ___ Online:
