JENNA AWAITS OPENING OF HER LONG-ANTICIPATED MOVIE WHILE TRACY DIGS OUT OF DEBT — While Jenna anxiously awaits the limited release of her indie film, "The Rural Juror," Liz and the writers are loathe to confess they can't even grasp the tongue-twister of a title. Meanwhile, Tracy – desperate for some financial help – heeds Jack's advice and creates his own celebrity product to endorse.

[edit] Quotes
- Jenna: Hey, I've gotta miss an hour of rehearsal today 'cause I just found out from my publicist that I've been booked on The View.
- Pete: Oh, Jenna, that's great. For the first time in your life, you'll be in a room full of women and you'll be the least crazy one.
- Jenna: Yeah, I know!
- Tracy: So GE will produce the Tracy Jordan Meat Machine?
- Jack: Oh no, no. GE could never make something so... unique. We'll have to pass this off to one of our subsidiaries. [Jack rolls down a complex organizational chart] You see, GE owns KitchenAll of Colorado, which in turn owns JMI of Stamford which is a majority shareholder of Pokerfastlane.com which recently acquired the Sheinhardt Wig Company which owns NBC outright. NBC owns Winnipeg Iron Works which owns the AHP Chanagi Party Meats company of Pyongyang, North Korea, and they will make the Meat Machine.

The trucker hats Frank wears in this episode read "Karate Sluts" and "Beef N Bean."
[edit] Reception
"The Tracy Jordan “Meat Machine” is a plot straight out of The Simpsons complete with Dr Spacemen in the Dr Nick Riviera role and Tracy being Krusty the Clown. They endorse a ridiculous, dangerous product complete with over the top exaggerations about how bread is bad for you. The reason this stuff works in The Simpsons is that the exaggerations are congruent with the exaggerated cartoon characters. With real actors pretending to be real people, the humour is just too obvious to be funny." - The TV Critic's Review
