Ep 3. The One with the Cast of 'Night Court'

In season 3 episode 3 of 30 Rock, titled "The One with the Cast of 'Night Court'," Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) is tasked with finding a new cast member for her show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." In the hopes of boosting ratings, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) suggests bringing in the cast of his favorite '80s sitcom, "Night Court."

Meanwhile, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) is struggling with his impending divorce from his wife, Avery (Elizabeth Banks), who is being held captive in North Korea. He seeks solace in the form of his high school sweetheart, Nancy Donovan (Julianne Moore), who he hasn't seen in decades. However, their reunion isn't as romantic as he had hoped.

As Liz tries to convince the "Night Court" actors to join the show, she realizes that they may not be the comedic goldmine she had hoped for. The cast, consisting of Harry Anderson, Markie Post, and Charles Robinson, appear to have lost their mojo and can't seem to deliver the same punchy one-liners that made them famous in the '80s.

Meanwhile, Tracy is convinced that one of the "Night Court" actors is plotting to kill him, making Liz's job even more difficult. As she scrambles to salvage the episode, she must also deal with Jack's emotional baggage and his complicated history with Nancy.

In typical "30 Rock" fashion, the episode is filled with zany subplots and hilarious one-liners. Fey delivers her trademark bumbling humor, while Baldwin is at his wittiest as the stressed-out executive. Morgan shines as the eccentric Tracy, and the cameo by the "Night Court" cast adds some fun nostalgia to the mix.

Overall, "The One with the Cast of 'Night Court'" is a hilarious episode that showcases the best of "30 Rock's" quirky humor and off-the-wall antics. Whether you're a fan of the show or just looking for a good laugh, this episode is sure to deliver.
