This was the best comedy on TV last season. Read full review

Paige Wiser

Next week's episode didn't have me quite as recklessly giddy, but 30 Rock on an off night is still equivalent to the kind of sugar rush you get from eating an entire Nerds Rope. Read full review

Mary McNamara

With all those Emmys, viewers expect a lot, and two episodes in, 30 Rock is prepared to deliver, serving up the self-conscious, fast-moving, quick-witted comedy it has all but trademarked. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

The results may not hit the mark every time (stories about Jack, Liz and Kenneth usually work, while those concerning Tracy and Jenna are hit or miss), but there are enough pointed, smart and effective barbs to make this show a must-see comedy even as it enters its fourth season. Read full review

Brian Lowry

The good news in general is seeing comedy exhibit signs of a comeback; the bad news for 30 Rock might be that like "Murphy Brown" in the 1990s--which soared to its highest heights, come to think of it, thanks to a dispute with a Republican vice president--the show's most golden moments might actually be behind it. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Don't get me wrong, there are some good laughs here, but there's also the threat that 30 Rock could easily turn into that thing the writers relentlessly make fun of--TV shows and stars that are too smug, too smart and too out-of-touch for their own good. Read full review

Troy Patterson

In a time span shorter than a T.G.I. Friday's commercial, we saw a pungent contrast between two sets of cultural values. This was all very funny and more than a bit embarrassing. Read full review

Tina Fey's sitcom just gets better and better. This season contains more consistent laughs and develops more on the characters. The acting, as always, is top-notch with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin stealing the show.

One of the best tv comedies of all time. Topical material, brilliant storyline in-jokes, along with dynamic personalities for each character, this show cannot be beat. With its depth of material, ignore all the critics who complain the show lives too much in its own universe, that's One of the best tv comedies of all time.

The obvious and deserving winner of the Emmy for Best Comedy the last three years, this season has been a bit disappointing. Seasons 1-3 were just fantastic and absolutely hilarious, but it seems that this fourth season has had a difficult time finding it's identity. Forget Kyle's The obvious and deserving winner of the Emmy for Best Comedy the last three years, this season has been a bit disappointing. Seasons 1-3 were just fantastic and absolutely hilarious, but it seems that this fourth season has had a difficult time finding it's identity. Forget Kyle's comments, Always Sunny? Tina Fey not creative? Foolish. I was a huge fan of Arrested Development and its dry, awkward, satirical humor, which 30 Rock does just as well. It's a great show, and I'm glad that we have some 20 more episodes for them to right the ship and live up to the fabulous first three seasons.… Expand

Every show has its missteps. The Office had season 6. Seinfeld had that uh, finale. Even Arrested Development started to feel a bit tired by the 3rd season. And now, it's 30 Rock's turn.

Don't get me wrong, it still has a lot of laugh out loud moments and is mostly pretty solid, but the show starts to show strains by the latter half. It's not "season 6 of The Office" bad (man, getting through those episodes was... brutal) it gets better by the end (especially when Elizabeth Banks and Matt Damon step into frame, but overall it is a disappointing season. Thankfully the show returned to greatness with its fifth season.… Expand

Wow, this show is a way for NBC and SNL to continually give each other a word that rhymes Horatio and begins with an F. There are funnier shows out there... It's Always Sunny, Flight of the Conchords, The Mighty Boosh, Venture Bros., and a few other shows late on Adult Swim just to Wow, this show is a way for NBC and SNL to continually give each other a word that rhymes Horatio and begins with an F. There are funnier shows out there... It's Always Sunny, Flight of the Conchords, The Mighty Boosh, Venture Bros., and a few other shows late on Adult Swim just to give a few examples. There's a reason Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon killed SNL. They aren't funny... sure Fallon is proving to not be a total waste trying something diff in late night. So I'll give him some credit. But 30 Rock is for pseudo-intellectuals who either didn't get Arrested Development or just really loved it and need a show to watch in primetime.… Expand
