Revealing mistake: In an early episode Jack introduces Tracey to all the TGS writers, but giving mini bios and facts about them in rapid Succession. Seconds later we go to a flashback of Jack's assistant holding up pictures of random people as Jack names them. The problem though is you can see that it's the same picture being used every time.

Trivia: When Cooter (Matthew Broderick) and Jack are looking through all the files to find a bad idea it's very reminiscent of Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane as Bialistock and Bloom looking for bad scripts in The Producers. Yet another musical theatre nod by a writer.
Question: Why does Liz put up with all the craziness? She couldn't quit and work on another show?

Answer: There's probably lots of reasons why Liz stays - money, lack of other job prospects and so on. The reality is, if she left, that would adversely affect the story line and the comedy within it. Tina Fey was one of the stars, and her character is an integral part of the show.
