By teleslant 30 Rock: This week’s two best dialogues both involve Tracy Jordan.  During the first, he’s talking to Frank and the second to Kenneth. Then the Frank-Tracy dialogue continues after the Kenneth-Tracy dialogue.  Ok, so maybe this is more of a scene then two separate dialogues… But let’s be ho...

By stellasemaphore Happy Friday!  I’ve made some new glasses, inspired by one of my favourite shows, 30 Rock (Judah Friedlander, anyone? guy with the hat? yeah?) Anyway, they come in a male and female version (in one package), so no fiddling around with sizing for the boys. Unless you like, want to. Cause they’...

By Myles When there’s no real central premise to hold an episode like this one together, you’re left feeling like something was missing even as you gush over the genius of Brian Williams, which is pretty much where I stand with 30 Rock right now. I laughed, I commented on its cleverness, and yet still...

One of the nice things about having written for the A.V Club for almost thirteen years is that I have the luxury of only writing about television shows I love (The Office, 30 Rock, Eastbound & Down) or am perversely fascinating by (the deathless warhorse that is Saturday Night Live). So i...

By Alan Sepinwall(asepinwall@starledger.com) The rest of "Audition Day" had some good moments - Kenneth hissing "Vampyr!" at the site of Jenna, Brian Williams' Jersey wiseguy character and, especially, Scott Adsit getting an unfortunately rare chance to let loose and be goofy as Pete tried to get The Hornberger System to work - and e...

By jefferyself I am incredibly grateful, bewildered, excited, and overjoyed. My episode doesn’t air until after the new year so you’ve got a while before I started hounding you with annoying reminders to tune in…. but in the meantime…. tune in to other episodes…. cause its one of the best shows on television.

And as predicted, the search for an Oscar host has quickly been concluded: According to Variety, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, co-stars of the upcoming Meryl Streep romantic comedy It's Complicated, have picked up the hosting gig that was turned down by Hugh Jackman, Ben Stiller, and R...

By ulyssesworkman As for the other action, it never really came together in a cohesive way. I thought Tracy’s storyline was a funny idea that didn’t end up going anywhere, and the celebrity cameos didn’t add too much (although given the rumors of tension between Tracy Morgan and Jimmy Fallon, its interestin...

By Alan Sepinwall(asepinwall@starledger.com) In particular, I want this "real America" storyline to go away, immediately. All the jokes about it feel angry and uncomfortable, like Fey has had a lot of bad meetings with the real-life versions of Jack Donaghy of late and wants to vent. It feels like watching those episodes of "Designing W...

By Myles It resulted in one great episode which focused in on elements of the holiday which fit its characters perfectly, one very good episode that used Halloween as a variable of existing dynamics, one okay episode which evaded the holiday but for a quick joke, and one weak episode that used the h...

By Myles It isn’t that “Into the Crevasse” is worse than “Season 4″ that’s the problem: yes, this is a far less successful episode that feels more like a string of Saturday Night Live skits strung together than it does an actual hour hour of comedy, but the real problem is that it manages to achieve th...

By Barry Michael Cooper Morgan waxes movingly for each and every day he gets above ground, and showers effusive praise on Martin Lawrence -- who gave Morgan his first shot on network television -- Chris Rock, Alex Baldwin, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels (who hired Morgan as a cast member in 1996), an...

By Myles In my relatively short time as a TV critic, I’ve spent more of my comedy analyzing time with The Office, a show which features far more nuance than 30 Rock in terms of its characters. On that show, the actions of Michael Scott need to be finely tuned to (in my view) connect with the right level of...

By Tempo Through “TGS” cast members Tracy (Tracy Morgan) and Jenna (Jane Krakowski), “30 Rock” skewers the kind of pampered celebrities who can’t exist without assistants and who command regular folk not to look them in the eyes. These jokes are weaker, given the obviousness of the clueless-sta...

By theTVaddict Time will tell, but this week and the next are a welcome return for the comedy, which looks to stand on its own after the heat from last year’s election (and Fey’s Palin wig) has faded, and so far it seems aptly prepared: Liz (Tina Fey, who penned the premiere) is under orders from whispery net...

By Myles While The Office might be more consistent, and 30 Rock might be more uproarious, I think that I find myself most honestly excited about How I Met Your Mother, a show that just a few years ago I didn’t even watch on a regular basis. I think it’s because while The Office thrives on awkward comedy,...

By Heather Salerno Community’s a quirky little comedy that fits right in amongst NBC’s other Thursday night quirkfests: The Office and 30 Rock. (Sorry, I can’t muster up much enthusiasm for Parks and Recreation – at least not based on last season’s lackluster laughs.) Photo courtesy of NBC)

By Brian Howard But while those two have been on the straight and narrow, Alec Baldwin continues his pattern of woes, thankfully unrelated to alcohol or automobiles. Baldwin has since apologized but added that he thought most people understood it was a joke. Of course it was, just not a very funny one.

 CT I spent the last few days counting up the number of great moments, throwaway gags, and celebrity cameos in this season's 30 Rock finale. This season saw its ups and downs, for sure. When 30 Rock first premiered, I was pretty down on it. ...

By Brian Howard 30 Rock gained a higher profile in its third season, but I remember Alec Baldwin questioning after the second season how long he wanted to be involved. He was going to quit to write cough a parenting book, which I think he managed to write without quitting.

By Brian Howard How else to explain the hilarity of Liz Lemon shouting “Puerto Rican!” every time she saw Salma Hayek’s Elisa. Tina Fey can pull that off, and she knows it. Jenna had one of the lines of the night after the gang pranks her to teach her a lesson about trying to poison Kenneth.

By TheDeeZone Spoiler Alert*** A couple of the characters suffered from food allergies.  The other reactions of the other cast members exhibited extreme insensitive and ignorance about the seriousness of food allergies. First there was Liz Lemon’s (Tina Fey) declaring that allergies were not real a...

By Brian Howard I don’t know what was most liz-worthy: Liz’s sex line commercial (that was incredibly long), Jack jacking or Jack’s list of things to do by 50 (Peggy Fleming, va-va-voom!). Wait, it was Tracy’s wordplay with the 70s space drink Tang. No, the $7 price tag on Kenneth, as per Jack-vision.

By heywriterboy@hotmail.com (DMc) For what it's worth, here's what Tina Fey had to say: Also, the upcoming story line where Liz Lemon starts dating Grimace is just based on a recurring dream I have. A lot of these issues were dealt with in a New York magazine article by Emily Nussbaum from October 2008.

By Myles This episode didn’t have much of one: Tracy and Jenna’s legal battles was the closest we got to something resembling a continuing storyline, and it was perhaps the most ridiculous with Jenna’s black face and Tracy’s transformation into co-ed Becky (which gave me serious White Chicks fl...

By ohmars We all know the "Monster Mash" and "Dracula's Pajama Party." And yeah, "Weird Science" is a pretty good one too. But 30 Rock brings you arguably the greatest Halloween song of all time, "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah," by Tracy Morgan. Check it out here.

By Brian Howard Not that things didn’t get dicey for a while. Baldwin’s voicemail tirade coincided with Tracy Morgan’s drunken driving issues and was followed shortly after by Baldwin’s seeming threat to quit the show when he went on The View and said he didn’t care if he never acted again.

By Brian Howard By live blogging the mostly highly anticipated episode of the funniest show on television, I'll free myself up at 9 p.m. to focus on the best overall show on television, The Office, for which I can post a prompt recap and analysis without giving 30 Rock short shrift. Of course, my 30 Rock recap/...

By Brian Howard I confront a particular dilemma while blogging about 30 Rock: Tina Fey and Co. say a lot of things in their prime time slot that I could never print in this space. Meanwhile, don’t expect any of the upcoming episodes to be about the TGS writers hitting the picket lines.

By Brian Howard Tina Fey chatted with the media the other day, and there was too much Liz Lemony goodness to cram into a single post. So Remote Access is doling it out over a couple of days, replete with real audio so you can hear for yourself just how awesome she is. Check out Part I here.

By Brian Howard Fey could only talk about 30 Rock, which is finally returning from the writers strike with a new episode April 10. But she did say that Liz Lemon’s endorsement of McCain (in a season one scene with Jason Sudeikis as love interest Floyd) was an example of the way the show likes to put things out t...

By Justin Van De Kamp Creatively, comedy is anything but dead. ABC successfully launched hour-long dramedies "Desperate Housewives" and "Ugly Betty" which redefined the genre, and NBC revamped its Thursday night comedy block with critical darlings "My Name Is Earl," "30 Rock," "The Office" and "Scrubs."...

By Alan Sepinwall The only thing keeping this episode from being up there with the poker episode or "The Rural Juror" was the Pete and Tracy subplot, and even that had its moments, notably Kenneth's interpretation of "Footloose" ("where those evil kids won in the end") and a new twist on the verrrrry old ang...
