30 Rock Season OneThis review contains spoilers for season one.30 Rock is a television series taking place in the 30 Rockefeller building in New York. The series is written and stars Tina Fey as Liz Lemon, a show manager in charge of the new Tracy Jordan show. The series is a comedy that features the likes of Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski, and Alec Baldwin. The season primarily focuses on Liz Lemon and her interactions with her coworkers.The season does a good job with introducing the setting and characters. Although it is the case that Liz Lemon can be overbearing at times, I enjoyed her character overall. Tina Fey plays the character well. One of the surprises I enjoyed was Jack Donaghy played by Alec Baldwin. The two character's arc in this season was how they were opposites. I enjoyed this dynamic a lot and loved how the two actors had natural chemistry in their lines and delivery.Some of the flaws were that some characters do not get much of a chance to develop. The writer character feel bland as they were not focused on too much. The season does feel like it is playing it safe. The directing is blad overall but does its job as a situational comedy.Overall I would recommend the first season of 30 Rock.30 Rock Season TwoThis review contains spoilers for the second season of 30 Rock.The second season of 30 Rock starts with the cast and crew of The Girly Show coming off of a summer hiatus. Much of the season's episodes do not support a long story arc. The episodes are often self-contained stories that can stand on their own. Some of the plot-lines in this season include Jack Donaghy dating a liberal Congresswoman named C.C. Tracy deals with problems in his marriage. Jenna must deal with her obesity problem.The second season of 30 Rock feels more structured than the first season. Now that the audience knows the characters, the writing can be more wild and incorporate each of the characters better. There are a lot of highlight episodes here such as Jack Donaghy's falling for the liberal Congresswoman, Jack Donaghy competing with Devon Banks, Dennis Duffy being a local hero, and sandwich day. The writing as a whole is much improved over the first season even with the Writers Strike going on.The season is much shorter than the first season at fifteen episodes instead of the twenty-one episodes of season one. This is fine since the episodes of the second season are of high quality.I would recommend 30 Rock season two.30 Rock Season ThreeThis review contains spoilers for the third season of 30 Rock.Season three of 30 Rock was broadcast on NBC from 2008 to 2009. The season begins following the epilogue of the second season. Tracy has published his pornographic video game to high acclaim. Jack Donaghy attempts to get his job title back. Liz wants to adopt a baby. Jenna begins work on a Janis Joplin-like character.Season three of 30 Rock is first and foremost fun and funny. Although the show is not incredibly well directed, all of the episodes are well-edited and shot decently. I did not care as much about the season-long story arcs in this season as much as I did about season two's story arcs. These arcs felt less engaging except for Jack Donaghy's but this is due to Alec Baldwin's natural charisma in the role. The episodes are much tighter in their stories and episodes than ever before which makes each episode much more engaging.The season has many great stand-alone episodes. These focus on the characters' strengths and when the show does this, it is at its strongest. The season does start off strong and it ideas begin to lose engagement towards the end.I felt that the second season was much stronger than the third season. After the first episodes, the season becomes more wild and stand-alone.Overall I would recommend 30 Rock season three.30 Rock Season FourThis review contains spoilers for the fourth season of 30 Rock.30 Rock season four takes place sometime after the third season. The fourth season has the same approach as the last seasons. There are story arcs for each of the characters. Most of the episodes concern random plot threads. The story arcs that span the entire season are really fun in this season. Liz Lemon gets a fun story arc concerning her relationships and Wesley Snipes. NBC is purchased by the fictional company called Kabletown. Jack Donaghy is involved with two women that he is interested in. Tracy Morgan tries to achieve the Emmy, Grammy, Academy, and Tony (E.G.O.T) awards. Jenna is involved in a relationship with a drag queen.This season has a slow start with the story focusing on a strike and Liz Lemon's book, Dealbreakers. The season gets more engaging and more funny as time goes on. Once the story arcs are in place, the season becomes much stronger.Liz Lemon's relationship with Wesley Snipes is incredibly funny and Martin Sheen's performance as Wesley Snipes is great. This story does not appear until about halfway through the season with the fourteenth episode. I enjoyed his this story began with Liz at the dental office as well as its resolution.The Kabletown purchase of NBC is fun to watch. New Kabletown executives are brought in and these executives are a treat to watch. This plot-line also ties in with Jack Donaghy's plot of the two women he is interested in. I loved this plot-line as it led to many close situations that Jack had to fast-talk his way out of. Alec Baldwin's performance is great this season.I would recommend 30 Rock season four. The season's smaller plot-lines are enjoyable but not as fun as the previous ones.30 Rock Season FiveThe below contains spoilers for the fifth season of 30 Rock.30 Rock's fifth season continues where the fourth season left off. The fourth season saw Liz Lemon enter into a relationship with Carol Burnett, played by Matt Damon. Jack Donaghy marries Avery Jessup played by Elizabeth Banks. Jack Donaghy also meets with his boss Hank Hooper and his future competition in Kaylee Hooper, played by Chloe Grace Moretz. Tracy Morgan continues pursuing his E.G.O.T.The fifth season does not have as many plot-lines as the fourth season and it has one more episode with 23 episodes versus the 22 in the fourth season. The plot-lines in this season are incredibly funny. This season felt more refined and much more funny to watch. There are definitely more guest stars in this season. Even the random episodes in this season felt more focused and fun to watch.Liz Lemon's relationship with Carol Burnett takes about half of the season. This plot-line is incredibly funny and it kept my attention throughout the season. I liked how the plot-line was resolved. Both Tina Fey and Matt Damon had enjoyable chemistry on the screen.Jack Donaghy's marriage to Avery Jessup is fun to watch. This plot-line did get stale. The ending to the plot-line was much more exciting. The better plot-line that Jack Donaghy got was his rivalry with Hank Hooper's daughter, Kaylee Hooper. Both Alec Baldwin and Chloe Grace Moretz do a great job here and this story arc is incredibly enjoyable. I loved watching both of these characters as they try to outplay each other.Tracy Morgan's quest for an E.G.O.T. is fun to watch. His complete story feels fulfilling.Overall I would recommend 30 Rock's fifth season. The season is stronger than the fourth season and the characters are given more focused story-lines. The only downside is some of the other characters are not given fun story arcs.30 Rock Season SixThe below contains spoilers for the sixth season of 30 Rock.30 Rock's sixth season takes place sometime after the fifth season. Jack Donaghy's wife, Avery Jessup, is taken hostage by North Korea. Jack attempts to get her back through various means. Liz Lemon seeks a new relationship. Kenneth slides on the corporate ladder. Jenna's relationship with Paul gets more serious.This sixth season is definitely one of the weaker seasons of 30 Rock. The season's stories are not as strong as the story arcs of the previous seasons. Ifelt that 30 Rock was much stronger with its more focused season long story-lines. The season has much more smaller stories here and it focuses more on the newer case members.The smaller stories are still enjoyable and the character dynamics are as fun to watch as they were in the past. The bigger story arcs are missing and the season can feel like it is meandering. For fans of the series, this is fine as the season can be enjoyed in its full episode length of 23 episodes before it heads into its last season.I would recommend the sixth season of 30 Rock. The season prepares the viewers for the seventh and last season of 30 Rock.30 Rock Season SevenThe below contains spoilers for the seventh season of 30 Rock.The seventh and final season of 30 Rock resolves all of the plot threads from the sixth season. The plot points are fun to watch in this last season. I had a great time watching and saying goodbye to the characters.This last season is bittersweet. I enjoyed the shortened length of thirteen episodes as every plot point headed towards its resolution. Fans will see Jack Donaghy square off against Kaylee Hooper as Hank Hooper begins to reitre. Liz Lemon and Criss enter into a rocky stage in their relationship. Tracy begins to create other shows and films with his studio. Kenneth becomes involved with Hazel.This season did get more involved and engaged as the season barrelled towards its conclusion. The last episode is a great episode that touched on almost every character and story arc.I highly recommend the seventh and last season of 30 Rock. This season is a great capstone to 30 Rock and every important character returns for the last season.

I loved this show as soon as it came out. My favorite character was Liz Lemon. The sitcom was hilarious!! I remember watching it on TV and it was such a pleasure to watch. I loved Liz's sarcasm and her sense of humour. The acting was very good on this show. Very good actors. I wish that this show did not end, because it was a fantastic show to watch. The writing and acting was amazing to watch. After the show ran it's final season, I bought the DVD Box set of all the episodes. This was to remember the good times and the sense of humour that this sitcom brought into my life. Today's sitcoms are just not as good as this one was.

Clever, hilarious comedy.A behind-the-scenes look at the the cast and crew of The Girly Show (TGS), an NBC skit-comedy program. Centres on the executive producer of the show, Liz Lemmon (played by Tina Fey), her boss, GE/NBC executive Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin).Created by Tina Fey, of SNL fame, 30 Rock is incredibly clever, especially in its references to topical events and in poking fun at the entertainment industry. Quite over-the-top at times, and delightfully so. The jokes come thick and fast, sometimes too fast - you've hardly digested one and the next one is upon you. If there is a negative, that is it - with the humour being so clever, you need some breathing space to sometimes get the jokes and being so snappy, you can easily miss things.Great performances and perfect casting. Alec Baldwin probably has the toughest gig, as his character is right-wing and capitalist to the extreme and is a living parody of not just the entertainment industry but business executives in general. Also, before this Baldwin was really considered only a drama-movie actor, so this is quite a change for him. He carries it off with aplomb.A classic and classy comedy series.
