One of two "SNL"-inspired shows created for NBC in 2006, "30 Rock" was Tina Fey's baby, an oddball comedy about Liz Lemon (Fey) and the sketch comedy show she runs, as well as its unusual cast and crew, including somewhat-mental star Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan), and egomaniacal company C...

By Mark Graham Maybe the reason enough people aren’t watching 30 Rock to make Mr. Baldwin happy is because Alec Baldwin is so unlikable as a person. 30 Rock is a really funny show.

By Myles First off, there was some great stuff here: whether it's Floyd using Ghostbusters for evil, Tracy's ankle bracelet (Which Morgan has in real life), or that Floyd is the Michael Clayton of Cleveland, the episode was more chock full of jokes than the last few episodes.

By Moye I am beginning to dislike Tina Fey. When she first appeared before the camera on Saturday Night Live, I thought it was okay. It was Tina. She's a writer, and now she gets to host the Weekend Update segment. Cool. This is Tina. She has wavy brown hair and quirky glasses. Okay.

By Tom Wright-Piersanti I love it. You love it. Unfortunately, no one watches it. That's the thing with shows. People have to watch them. We're NBC, we have a reputation to uphold. And, man, with this writers' strike ... well, we'll see what we can do. But start watching 30 Rock.

By Bob Sassone OK, so I was wrong. In my review of the previous episode, I mentioned that it was the last one finished before the strike. But this episode is the last episode finished before the strike. No, seriously, it is! I was bummed out after I realized the previous episode was the last (I thought). Now I hav...

By Alan Sepinwall Since I now apparently have to begin every blog review with a note about how may episodes are remaining, I should say that this was episode 8 of the season, and we know that 10 episodes were made.

By Bob Sassone This episode has two plots we haven't seen much of this season: a solid plot involving the writing staff and a return to the whole Tracy/Jenna battle that was a main part of the first season. And that's good to see, since it was tilting to all Liz/Jack stuff or guest star plots. Not that this epis...

By Bob Sassone On a night when almost everything else I watch is a repeat, it's great - comforting even - to see that there's a new 30 Rock.

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.

By Daniel J. Stasiewski There are some books that you can't put down. And then there are some DVD sets that you can't stop watching.

By Sam Smith They're leaving Thursday night alone - which is good, although I'm baffled at the idea that there's "critical" acclaim for 30 Rock.

By Bob Sassone As de Moraes points out, it can't be because 30 Rock got better ratings than Studio 60, because Studio 60 got better ratings.

By Tempo Speaking of detective clichés, “Andy Barker, P.I.” (8:30 p.m. Thursday, WMAQ-Ch. 5) attempts to mess with them in a comedic fashion with mixed (at best) results. Andy Richter plays Barker, an accountant who moves into an office formerly occupied by a private detective.

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...

By Tempo This episode not only has some good scenes with Jenna, but there’s also an enjoyable story line involving Pete Hornberger (Scott Adsit), one of the producers of the show within the show.

By Tony Figueroa I feel that before I watch the pilot episode of 30 Rock I must purge some things from my mind. First is going be the obvious comparison to Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. This half-hour sitcom should be judged on its own merits and not be compared to my favorite new hour-long drama.
