Wow, I thought tonight's episode might have been an all-timer for the series. Just hilarious from start to finish and genuinely moving at least once.

Just about. Loved it all. The Treme stuff in the beginning was a nice touch and even Kenneth didn't bother me.

Having the kids be Tracy and Jenna was brilliant.

Was that it though?

Loved the NBC Prez candidates being grown Wonka kids the best.

All the bro body douche stuff was great as was the payoff of Liz adopting baby Jenna and Tracy, however, I really didn't like Kenneth becoming the head of NBC.

One-hour series finale tonight

Tons of good articles / retrospectives on the show being published this week (I'd read the AV Club, Matt Zoller Seitz at Vulture, and Alan Sepinwall on Hitfix).

That was a really good finale. So many good jokes/callbacks and had a good amount of heart, but was never cloying.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that was just about perfect.

I thought it was terrible. Probably the least funny episode of the season and didnt think any of the emotional stuff really worked at all.

I didn't get Jenna's song...was she just making up words? Was it half gibberish? What the hell is a rural juror?

I loved the one year later bit.

The "emotional" stuff was all perfect. If it was any sappier it just wouldn't have been 30 rock. Liz and Jack scene on the boat was classic Donaghy/Lemon. Liz/tracy scene was very touching, Jenna finally getting emotional when her mirror was taken down was 100% perfect.

They did a great job.

I'm with the haters, sorry. I wish they had just ended with last week's amazing and hilarious episode. This one was boring and not funny. Too heavy on character, when the show's strength has always been dialogue and not character comedy.

For example, Pete. Who gives a ****? And the Lutz-Blimpie stuff that went on forever. OMG shut up. Lutz, Toofer, and Frank are just awful and got too much screen time. And Kenneth being folksy got old four years ago.

Tracy was the highlight but it felt like too little too late. Fey was probably feeling too much pressure to make an epic finale and it killed her. Last week's was perfect.

PJ, I just think they felt a need for a finale that would tie up all ends, like most shows do. I agree last week's episode would have been perfect, but it's too abrupt a finale for a syndicated TV show, even one as clever as 30 Rock. Liz meeting little Tracy and Jenna at the airport was perfect, but they were too compelled to let everyone have their farewells. It wasn't amazing, but I didn't hate it. I can't think of any TV series finale that didn't end like this. Everyone wants to go out with a bang.

Man, I've mentioned this before when you've complained about them, but this is so, so wrong. Lutz in particular is a super easy character to make terrible (see Kevin on The Office) but he's really well written. Scene where Jack tells everyone to stop mouth-breathing and then leaves the room like 2 minutes later to a giant gasp out of Lutz is one of my all-time favorite bits.
