I will vote with the earlier posters on this - while it was interesting, I
found the live audience disruptive to the pacing. The only laugh out loud
moments for me was when they used JLD - like many I was wondering how they
would work the quick flashbacks, and that was really an inspired solution.

We almost never see them doing skits on 30 Rock - indeed they almost never
even talk about them any more, so I thought the point of the live episode
was to see more of TGS. I guess there is no way to actually do it, but what
I would have liked to see is a show with taped material of the backstage
action wrapped around two or three segments of live material from the TGS
show.

I would give an average 30 Rock episode a grade of A-; I would give the live
episode a grade of B.
