Compared to his last two seasons (which are absolutely amazing, i.e. LUDACHRISTMAS) it was underwhelming in a pretty alarming way. His timing was off, his jokes didn't land but rather lingered long after the punchline and this threw the episode off track a number of times. Now this would most likely wouldn't matter in a show that didn't rely so heavily on his character for plot development. I hope it's a one time thing and not a trend that continues being that I am such a big fan of the show!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-42851141128513751402008-10-24T21:36:00.000-04:002008-10-24T21:36:00.000-04:00I totally loved the line about Jack working the da...I totally loved the line about Jack working the day shift at the graveyard and the graveyard shift at the Days Inn.

Great opening episode, definitely a great jumping-off point for the new season, and a huge improvement over last year's seinfeld kickoff. Not inconceivable that others would have been too dumb or incredulous to potential future success that Tracy's game sent all the profits to him. Definitely some more plot points to come.the Stanfield Org.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07794675562210920155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-70928974862906750012008-10-24T00:21:00.000-04:002008-10-24T00:21:00.000-04:00I wonder if that wasn't a hopeful nod from Fey to ...I wonder if that wasn't a hopeful nod from Fey to Baldwin at the end there, given the hubbub about his desire to leave the show?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-52125437853715775522008-10-23T20:49:00.000-04:002008-10-23T20:49:00.000-04:00I thought it was a great season premiere.
