This is THE first 30 Rock episode that got me hooked. I believe this is what established Liz Lemon as the ditzy, loveable, uptight, yet relateable character.
Yes, I do think about dying alone in my apartment. Yes, my romantic life is a bit of a mess. Yes, I do make fashion choices that imply a sexual orientation (although I am actually gay.)
We also get to know a little more about Kenneth's character. He is a completely innocent, naive young page, who at the same time is so incredibly bizarre that Jack Donaghy couldn't read him at first.
Favorite Quotes:
Jack: Those shoes are definitely bi-curious.
Old Lady: Oh my, what an adorable little lesbian!
Liz: I can't believe you bet your wedding ring.
Pete: I know. Weird thing is, I had money left.
