Season 6 - Episode 2
NBC (US)
This being the first part of a two part episode, it did feel a little bit unfinished. With several storylines going on, it was enjoyable, but I think it is going to take the concluding part next week to really get it.
So I'm going to say relatively little about this episode, and see where it goes next week. It will be interesting to see exactly why Pete was found passed out with his pants down, clutching a lingerie catalogue with his head in plastic bag. After Liz defended Tracy against being a homophobe by calling him an idiot, will his "Idiot's Protest", with Denise Richards as a spokesperson (a very funny cameo), manage to change the world. Exactly why is Jack so disapproving of Liz's new boyfriend Criss (James Marsden, yet another top guest star from 30 Rock), and why has he funded him? And what are The Best Friends Gang going to do this time? It was a delight to see Kelsey Grammer return as the wickedly over the top version of himself that he has played on this show before, and it's going to be fun seeing what happens.
"Idiots Are People Two" was more of a set-up episode than a stand alone. But there were a lot of funny moments. Next week will be the clincher, but if the set-up was this good, it should be a pretty good conclusion.
*** 1/2
