30 Rock was one of the greatest shows of all times.  I'm sad to see it go but also so happy it was able to have a full life.  I'm so happy it finished with a call back to one of my favorite jokes of all time, The Rural Juror.  It was the Rural Juror episode which made me fall in love with the show.  It's what I call a Cookie Episode.  The opposite of the Jump The Shark episode, a Cookie Episode is when you love a episode so much that you are forever devoted to it.  For many fans that episode was the one with Paul Rubens, but for me it was the Rural Juror.  I listened to Jenna's song at the end several times then looked up the lyrics on the internet.  Here they are courtesy of Vulture.com.

The Irma Luhrman-Merman murder
Turned the bird's word lurid
The whir and the purr of a twirler girl
She would the world were demurer
The insurer's allure
For valor were pure Kari Wuhrer
One fervid whirl over her turgid error
Rural juror

I will never forget you
Rural juror
I'll always be glad I met you

Rural juror (x2)
These were the best days of my flerm.

The show also ended with a flash forward to see everyone having happy and successful lives and Kenneth still running the network 100 years in the future confirming his rumored immortal status. A perfect end to one of the most perfect shows.  Thanks NBC for seven wonderful seasons.
