Verne Gay

This is TV's best comedy. And there's nothing in the first two episodes that would suggest otherwise. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Fey's back to her day job tonight and 30 Rock is as funny as ever, as cynical as we hoped, and as fresh as if it were a freshman show. Read full review

David Zurawik

Tonight's episode does have a few moments when it goes over the comedy top and seems just a tad too broad. But who cares? Overall, it's a joy. Read full review

Rob Owen

30 Rock is more manic than "Seinfeld," but its smart observations on political correctness, corporate culture and life in Manhattan make it an ideal heir. This Rock continues to roll. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

Fey's parts of the premiere are terrific, and next week's episode is an even better--and sillier--showcase for her. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Tonight's premiere isn't one of the series' most cleverly wrought scripts; it's more of a welcome-back party than a gem. Read full review

Brian Lowry

30 Rock remains merely a good comedy whose shortcomings prevent it from joining the ranks of great ones. Read full review

I love this show.I really like the guest stars- Jennifer Aniston, Salma Hayak, Megan Mullally, Steve Martin and Oprah.They really added substance to the show.It was just unbearingly hilarious.All the originals of the show of course were also great.

Such a funny show. I don't see how anyone could believe that it is unfunny. It's probably the funniest show on TV. Keep it up Fey and gang!

With the characters established throughout the first two seasons the third, and arguably best, season set out purely to make audiences laugh and it was very rare that it failed to deliver.

The antics of the cast and crew of The Girlie show continued to entertain and Liz Lemons relationship woes intensified with numerous guest stars such as John Hamm (Mad Men) and Steve Martin providing her with only short lived hope. Again however it was the scenes between Liz and Jack Donaghy that really made the show in what has become one of the funniest and strangest relationships on television. If you enjoyed seasons one and two you won't be disappointed.… Expand

Like all of the best comedies that are given time before cancellation, 30 Rock has developed its characters into more rounded and real people which provides many more opportunities for comedy. Kudos to NBC for allowing 30 Rock the time to develop the characters in 3 dimensional people with Like all of the best comedies that are given time before cancellation, 30 Rock has developed its characters into more rounded and real people which provides many more opportunities for comedy. Kudos to NBC for allowing 30 Rock the time to develop the characters in 3 dimensional people with lives and stories that can be used for humor. The cast is now developing into into a place that shows liek Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke reached where the work place is funny because of the great charcters that work there. Not the greatest comedy in history, but the best one on the air right now and getting better each episode.… Expand
