Not a perfect episode by 30 Rock standards, but I guess going into season 5 the writers were cocky that 30 Rock has come so far. Matt Damon displays his comedic acting chops as Liz's new beau, and Kenneth returns as the page for The Late Show with David Letterman.
It's easy to forget that 30 Rock and Aaron Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip debuted on NBC at the same time. Conventional wisdom was that Sorkin's powerhouse series be the one that would survive the first season, with 30 Rock being a one season wonder. But history has proved otherwise.
