On "Liz Lemoning"

I totally agree with Matt Yglesias here, and one of my many reasons for disliking "30 Rock" is that it treats the obviously gorgeous Tina Fey character like she's ugly- and somehow uses this for humor. Same with Julia Louis-Dreyfus on "Old Christine," Debra Messing when "Will and Grace" was on, and Rachel from "Glee." Who is laughing at these jokes exactly?

Tina Fey isn't ugly, but she's clearly not the prettiest woman on the show.

The whole Liz plot-lines kind of suck in 30Rock - but the show is carried by the writing, and particular by Tracy Morgan.

Tracy's wife "you're an idiot"
Tracy "Yeah, we're just lucky people laugh when I say things"

LOL funny!
