By Tempo Rating: Four stars. There must be something Tina Fey isn’t good at. Fey’s perky version of Gov. Sarah Palin helped make a resurgent “Saturday Night Live” must-see TV. Fey’s delightful show, “30 Rock” (8:30 p.m. Thursday, WMAQ-Ch. 5), won the best-comedy Emmy for the second time in September. And...

By Tempo One of the stars of the sketch-comedy show, Jenna (Jane Krakowski), gained a lot of weight during the show’s summer break.

Rate Review-a-palooza Part 2: 'Andy Barker, P.I.' is no '30 Rock'

Original at Chicago Tribune external link    Wed, Mar 14

By Tempo Barker is squarely in the current comedy tradition of naïve man-children – he’s as much of a clueless square as Michael Scott of “The Office” and Glen Abbott of “The Winner” – but the show itself is smart, if only to show off Barker’s innocence.

By Tempo Who'€™s going to run NBC one day? My bet is on Kenneth, the innocent network page on the delightful Tina Fey comedy "30 Rock." So, how similar are Kenneth and Jack McBrayer? "There is a very gray area between Kenneth and Jack. The only difference may be a navy blazer."
