It's the beginning of the end for 30 Rock, as its final season premiere aired tonight. True to form, the episode delivered what the NBC sitcom cooks up best: bromantic moments between the dysfunctional duo that is Tracy Jordan and Kenneth Parcell, jabs at the peacock network, uncomfortable sex talks between Liz Lemon and her sensei Jack Donaghy (now a.k.a God Cop), and psychobabble from bride-to-be Jenna Maroney. Which are exactly what we'll miss once the series finally wraps.

But let's not dwell on the days remaining with the TGS crew and focus on the funny, starting with the best lines of season seven's first episode.
