30 Rock Quotes: "The Problem Solvers"

at .

Thursday night's episode of on 30 Rock, "The Problem Solvers," sort of recycled a plot line for last year, or at least the running gag related to a prominent guest star.

When Liz Lemon wanted to turn Dealbreakers into a TV sensation, Jack fought her for the rights to it, even bringing in Padma Lakshmi of Top Chef fame as the host.

The basic gist of that plot line was that because Padma is so gorgeous, she doesn't have to work hard. Kind of like Jon Hamm's character in last year's "The Bubble."

Not the best 30 Rock has ever produced, but a bad episode of 30 Rock is like a good episode of most others - more one-liners than a month of other shows produce.

We were much more entertained by Jenna and Tracy trying to be kind to Kenneth, following the example of the new cast member, and Kenneth being just confused.

If he can't be ridiculed at work, what can he count on in this crazy world?

Below are some of the classic 30 Rock quotes from last night's episode ...
