* At the end of the episode "MILF Island", it's revealed that Jack knew it was Liz all along and that he just made up all that stuff about Gilly to get her to admit it. However, she was just about to tell him the truth when he told her about Gilly and that actually made her decide ''not'' to tell him.
** Regardless of what he says, it seems reasonable that Jack made up the Gilly story in order to torment Liz, not to get her to confess - a goal which it certainly achieved.
** Or, as an alternative explainationexplanation, Jack knew that Liz did it, but he didn't know she was about to confess when he first told her the Gilly story.
** His goal wasn't to get her to confess, it was to guilt her enough that she would feel obligated to write Deborah's show.
* Throughout the series, GE and [[NBC]] are owned by the fictional Sheinhardt Wig Corporation. However, in "The Rural Juror", it's GE that owns the Sheinhardt Wig Corporation, which, in turn, owns NBC.
Line 19:
** FWIW, I heard it was originally intended as a dig at Rachel Dratch, who had recently stopped appearing on the show due to a soured business relationship with Fey. (Dratch co-wrote and co-starred in Spring Breakdown, for the unaware). They reportedly changed it after the first airing because a host of mutual friends (including Poehler) objected to the comment.
* Where has Josh been all season (three, that is)?
** Clearly, he's been living it up in Vegas with [[Brother Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|Chuck]] [[Happy Days|Cunningham]].
** He was back (briefly) in "Goodbye, My Friend".
** He quit in "Season Four" (the first episode of, you guessed it, season 4) because Liz didn't want the actors to know that she was hiring a new cast member to boost ratings (which Jack made her do), and she forgot Josh was in the room.
Line 32:
** GE will still own 49% of NBC. ''TGS'' is probably part of that portion.
** Jack, ever concerned with looking the good company man, will cancel his [[Direc TV]] only to find the town his house is in is served by another cable company?'
** OP here, the last episode had GE sell NBC to [[Bland -Name Product|"Kable Town"]], but Jack will stay on as President of NBC. So... cheerfully withdrawn.
* Whatever happened to Liz's plans to adopt at the end of Season 2? I might have missed something, but was it never brought up again?
** She's on a list.
