    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 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'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

    Besides Alec Baldwin, this show has never been that funny. I only watched it because of all the positive reviews and am still not convinced that Tina Fey is either creative (a show about being a writer on a show, how'd you come up with it?) or funny. This seems like a show made by a focus group to be perfectly bland. That said, I usually laugh once per episode.

    I don't know why people think this is so hilarious. It tries so hard to be funny...which is why it isn't funny. Kinda like SNL these days. This is probably the easiest role Alec Baldwin has ever played in. Why? Because he doesn't have to act. That's really the way he is. And he just isn't funny. I only laughed maybe twice during a couple of episodes, but never out loud.

    I am confused as to why people think this show is funny. I watched all of last season because of all the hype it got and because I enjoy the Office and Community. This show is horrible, and I regret wasting a DVR space on it.

    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.

    This was the best comedy on TV last season.
