From 30rockfan.orgLiz Lemon (Tina Fey) meets her mother’s (Guest Star Anita Gillette) old flame, while Jack Donaghy’s (Alec Baldwin) mother, Colleen (Guest Star Elaine Stritch), gets tangled in his relationships with Avery Jessup (Guest Star Elizabeth Banks) and high school love, Nancy Donovan. Jenna’s (Jane Krakowski) mother, Verna (Guest Star Jan Hooks) returns, while Tracy learns a lesson from his “mom” (Guest Star Novella Nelson). Also starring: Jack McBrayer (Kenneth), Judah Friedlander (Frank), Scott Adsit (Pete), and John Lutz (Lutz).

Sounds like fun.

I can't wait for Colleen.

Thanks for the thread Pia

This one looks awesome. I always love when Colleen is in town, and to have all the other Moms there as well is gonna be a riot!

She is a nerd. And she likes Star Wars.

I still have to watch this. Hulu is being funky.

Loved this episode... loads of laughs and loads of heart.

My favorite parts were...

- Lutz's mom

- Tina playing Liz's mom when she was young

- Jack telling Avery, "Sorry, but stupider women have fallen for that"

- Colleen to Jack, "...and I assume herpes"

- Verna!

Bitch Hunter

The Bitch Hunter scenes were hilarious!

I only managed to watch the episode today.

Anyway I LOVED it. Colleen is always brilliant.
I really hope Jack makes up his mind (and choses Avery...don't really like Nancy)

This episode had some really great, laugh out loud scenes!

Definitely agree with you on that one!

I love the part where Liz was freaking out when her mom told her she used to date Buzz. She kinda sounded like Seinfeld again.

"You could have married Buzz Aldrin?!"

That was hilarious.

Favorite Tracy line: "I want to see a list of names, like when they were looking for John McCain runner mate. Ah ha ha! I'm kidding, this needs it be taken seriously."

Great episode. I keep forgetting to put in my two cents.

-I loved the Moms, all of them. The actresses are truly an embarrassment of riches.

-Buzz Aldrin was awesome.

Surprisingly good considering he's not actually an actor.

-Tracy doing an anti condom PSA.

Why am I not surprised. And the Sarah Palin slam was pretty good too.

-Pajamaralls, I'd buy a pair.

-Verna saying she has "the meat". When Jack felt her up, it was so funny.

Poor Jack looked scared to death!

Yes, and I forgot to add. Jack protecting Jenna from Verna is one of my favorite subplots.

Manhattan · 05-15-2010, 04:39 PM

^^^^^^^

It's so sweet what Jack's doing for Jenna and she has no idea. I thought the actress that plays Verna was great in this episode.

wanderer78 · 05-16-2010, 11:03 PM

She was great. I wasn't so keen on Verna the first time around. I think it was b/c the ep was so so, and the character is so unlikable at first.

I adore Jan Hooks though. C'mon she's Manjula on the Simpsons! Or am I the only one who cares about that?
