    I’m going to have to go with no in answer to the question did 30 Rock get it right.
    I mean Patti LuPone is great, but the mistake was in thinking anyone was interested in more Frank.

    I can see it working, but it will be hard to not think of her appearance on Ugly Betty.

    This is PERFECT! I love Patti LuPone – saw her the night before Gypsy closed and was just in awe of her brilliant performance. It seems like she is a perfect sitcom actress – 30 Rock makes the right move!

    I guess that makes Liz Lemon’s mom either Chita Rivera or Liza Minelli.

    I would love to see Amy Poehler as Kenneth’s sister and Dolly Parton as Kenneth’s mother…now that’s a show, personally I don’t care about Frank maybe this will win me over to the Frank side

    I would have preferred Patti as Liz’s mom.

    Can it be for an episode where parents come to some party for the show? Because LuPone and Stritch totally need to chat it up on screen. And please, throw in a moment where Patti can stretch her arms like Evita. 30 Rock likes to play with roles/etc. that made their guest stars famous.
