Matt Hubbard wrote this, the weakest 30 Rock episode so far.  Jack and Liz both have to deal with budget cutbacks, which is a promising storyline, but there are too many unfunny and implausible moments, particularly in the thread where Tracy and Jenna think Kenneth is a serial killer, so they accidentally kill his pet bird.

Shockingly, Frank Anello plays a member of the Production Staff.  Then 91-year-old Don Pardo is winkingly cast as Sid, the elderly announcer for TGS.  And Todd Buonopane returns as Jeffrey Weinerslav.
