Opinion: 30 Rock - "Audition Day"

05 Nov 2009 20:22:38 PST

Written 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...

Opinion: 30 Rock - "Stone Mountain"

02 Nov 2009 13:26:29 PST

Written 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...

Opinion: Halloween Comedy on NBC: Parks and Recreation, Community, The Office, 30 Rock

29 Oct 2009 20:20:58 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Season Premiere: 30 Rock – “Season 4″

15 Oct 2009 21:24:14 PDT

Written 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...

Review: 30 ROCK Season 4

14 Oct 2009 17:27:07 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Season Premiere: How I Met Your Mother – “Definitions”

21 Sep 2009 18:09:05 PDT

Written 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,...

Opinion: Should you watch NBC’s Community tonight?

17 Sep 2009 06:00:34 PDT

Written 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)

Opinion: The 30 Rock finale recap: Kidney Now!

18 May 2009 13:24:38 PDT

Written 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.

Opinion: The 30 Rock recap: The Ones

27 Apr 2009 11:02:02 PDT

Written 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.

Opinion: Mon, Dec 15, 08 - 30 Rock, Jury, Law & Order, House, Wings

21 Dec 2008 16:37:00 PST

Written by podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal)
30 Rock. Season 3, Episode 5. "Reunion" Another winner. The Liz high school reunion story is very funny and very clever. It confounds expectations, very nicely, when it reveals that Liz was the mean one at school. She didn't plan it that way, and she doesn't even remember it that way, but... she was mean to everyone and they hate her. Hilarious. Alec Baldwin pretty much steals the episode and it proves, once again, that the show works best when Liz and Jack are teamed up in the same plot. House. Season 5, Episode 9. "Last Resort" The hostage-siege episode. With Hugh Laurie and Zeljko Ivanek in the same room (and a gun between them, too) you expect it to be a truly superb episode with great performances. Not so. It's actually a pretty weak, kinda dumb storyline. And...

30 Rock. Season 3, Episode 4. "Gavin Volure" Steve Martin guests in a hilarious outing. It's hard to pick highlights when every minute of the episode yielded about two, but I particularly loved Liz's idea of a relationship (basically lots of TV watching and 'no funny stuff'). The Tracy story was a winner, too, but the absolute highlight of the episode was Kenneth performing street theatre. That, alone, makes this episode of my favourites. Law And Order. Season 18, Episode 17. "Personae Non Grata" Law And Order normally doesn't make me laugh, but this episode had me laughing out loud all the way through. Why? Partly because the events of the story are so absurd and partly because the guest stars are fantastic.

Opinion: Mon, Dec 1st, 08 - Law And Order, Raising The Bar, 30 Rock, Keen Eddie, House, Wings

02 Dec 2008 23:19:00 PST

Written by podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal)
30 Rock. Season 3, Episode 3. "The One with the Cast of 'Night Court'" is the first funny episode this year. Tina Fey rocks. I loved the scene where she tried to lure her wild and crazy friend away from Jack with promises of a wild and crazy night on the town. Liz's idea of a wild and crazy night, and her faked enthusiam, are the highlight of the episode. Jennifer Aniston (such a funny, funny lady) is perfect for this show. Highlights include: her Happy Birthday song and any time she freaked out on Jack. Alec Baldwin is a perfect foil to her actions. Loved their stuff together, and all his scenes with Tina/Liz. Keen Eddie. Episode 13. "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" Keen Eddie ends with another good story and another great episode.

Weaker than the premier. Weaker than 30 Rock at it's best and certainly weaker than Office, Corner Gas or Always Sunny. Oh well, maybe the next one will have me laughing... Jack was badass cool.

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...

Opinion: 30 Rock Live in New York: I Was There!

19 Nov 2007 21:19:46 PST

Written by Media Maven
8:05 – The UCB announcer introduces each member of the 30 Rock cast, as the live music plays. Every major player is here except for Alec Baldwin’s assistant Jonathan (a.k.a. Sanjay from Weeds) and guest star Edie Falco, whose role is played by SNL scribe Paula Pell. Baldwin and Morgan get the most cheers by far. Grade: A Following the lead of Saturday Night Live’s live performance at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York last Saturday, the Emmy-winning cast of 30 Rock performed a live staged reading of an upcoming episode to a standing room only crowd at UCB tonight. And guess who was lucky enough to score a seat? [...]

I watched the show. I would describe the show as Dilbert meets backstage Saturday Night Live, but in a good way.
