A highlight of a 2009 30 Rock episode, "Dealbreakers Talk Show # 0001," was a spoof of high-definition television. A high-definition camera, which can capture a person's slightest physical flaws, makes Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) look like a crone.

The routine received much praise from fans and critics after its initial broadcast.
A similar routine turned up on a 1964 episode of The Jack Benny Show called "How Jack Found Dennis."
