Liz Lemon, head writer of the sketch comedy show "TGS with Tracy Jordan", must deal with an arrogant new boss and a crazy new star, all while trying to run a successful TV show without losing her mind.
First of all Tina Fey is a genius! Everything she touches turns to gold and this is no exception. The characters are ridiculously hilarious and their chemistry is right on. The first few episodes were hard for me to get into, but after that was no problem.
Liz Lemon (kind of the best tv name ever) is finally living her dream as a head writer for an NBC tv show that stars her friend Jenna. A few episodes into the show the management is replaced and the new head guy, Jack Donaghy, is now in charge of TGS. He believes a co-star is needed to keep the show on the air, enter: Tracy Jordan. The cast fights him at first, but realize he is needed for the success of the show (much to Jenna's dismay) and the series goes off from there.
30 Rock is one of those shows that is really about nothing specific, just life and how it goes on, whether you want it to or not.
The only complaint I have about the show is the middle seasons seem to get lost in the bigger plot picture. Some episodes were not up to par, but that is to be expected with any show that lasts for longer than a few seasons.
I am currently on season seven, but I don't think my review will change. 30 Rock is a solid show and is a quick watch (episodes on Netflix are only 20 minutes). So if you've got some time to kill or want to watch a feel-good comedy, then this is the show for you.
My rating: 4 stars (there are some episodes I WILL be re-watching)
