There’s some decent comedy out there but when you really want to enjoy yourself you must watch 30 Rock. This show is very popular and rates high in NBC comedies, only falling to The Office. The forth season is just beginning and it is maintaining it’s appeal just as in the first season. The DVD’s are available for first through third seasons, you should be sure it becomes part of your DVD library.
The first season shows what good writing and good characters can do when they get a chance to develop. The show is about a television show on NBC, shot on set at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Tina Fey, who created the show and helps write the Emmy winning sitcom, plays Liz Lemon. She is a workaholic, with minimal social skills, and as head writer for the show inside a show, is in charge of keeping the writers and actors in line.
Alec Baldwin plays the boss, he just likes to do the business not the problems so that’s where Tina Fey’s character Liz comes in, to take care of the issues. She has to handle the writers as well as the actors as they are all problem children.
The largest part of the 30 Rock’s TV show is given to Tracy Morgan, from SNL. He plays Tracy Jordan, a movie star now in a TV role, who doesn’t function normally and causes lots of probems so he has to be supervised. Most of the characters who play actors on the show are weird like him and need constant oversight.
The show is one of the funniest shows on television and has only gotten better as it has had time to develop its characters. There is no reason to miss this show and the DVD release makes it easier to get yourself up to speed on all of the misadventures of the last three years. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin have a chemistry that is easy for them to play off of. Tracy Morgan has finally found a role that he can play and works perfect for him. He looks like he is having loads of fun.
