30 Rock::Tracy Does the Conan Show

Another great episode of course. It is difficult to understand how Liz Lemon can be cohabitating with Dennis on a part time basis. I suppose for her character, she is interested in stereotypes originating from either the University of Oklahoma or from Stanford, based on her romances of Season 1.

This episode tackles the difficult subject of mental health medication. If one could imagine our technological empire of pharaceuticals as being based on caricatures of Tracy and people like the Slingblade guy saying "Yes" and "No" to doctors to whom they would say anything that sounded right, one sees that all that stock market pharaceutical money is resting on quicksand that could not be any jelloier. And that's a lot of money! The answers that constitute the studies that justify the medications to the courts and to the government grant-readers are as reliable as Lemon's answers to Jack Donaghy when he asks about his bet on the Pittsburgh Penguins game or when he wants an opinion on his wife's wig.
