"I hate Tina Fey for making fun of Sarah Palin, and Tracy Morgan scares me because I'm afraid of black people, so I hate 30 Rock."- fifty percent of Farkers.

One of the few comedies on network tv worth watching.

She's good in Dale And Tucker Vs. Evil, BTW, a movie I keep pushing on horror fans who'll get the jokes.

Don't you just *hate* how you're forced to consume entertainment you dislike?

Personally, I blame Obama.

Parts of it could be funny. None of the story lines featuring Tracy Morgan were ever funny. Ever.

Trollin4Colon: For YEARS I would catch my gf watching 30 rock and I would try my damnedest to get in to it (While Im playing games on the computer of course) and never found it remotely entertaining and spoke bad about it on more than 1 occasion.

Then I sat down bored one day and watched 2-3 and proceeded to shotgun Season 1-6 in about a week and a half. 30 and The League are the only 2 shows in recent memory that have made me laugh that much.The one liners are hysterical and I hope I see Scott Adsik in something funny soon. Hes great.

//Him losing the fight to the training dummy made me lose it.

The show moves so fast and has so many throw away lines, it is a show that demands full attention to be appreciated.

My favorite episodes were:
-Liz Lemon meeting Oprah.
-Liz Lemon starting a fight club
-Every episode with Elaine Stritch (and her death episode was both touching and funny).

This is the way I was too. I heard good things about it and would watch a show or two and never really got into it over the years. Then I started from season one on Netflix last year and I was hooked. The show is packed subtle humor and running jokes. Brilliantly written while simultaneously being absurd.

Mugato: I can't say that I watched it regularly but it was a sitcom that wasn't The Big Bang Theory or 2/12 Men and it wasn't a reality show so it had that going for it. And Tina Fey is HOT.

I bet she's great at talking dirty. I mean, just absolute filth.

Even if that show was the most brilliantly written comedy ever, that guy would still have brought it down to Larry the Cable Guy level. I can't farking stand him, and he was the reason I avoided that show.

He's a pretty terrible actor, but they found a way to work with that and even give him some of the best lines on the show.
I think what I like most about 30 Rock is like Seinfeld, the jokes come first and caring about the characters and all that other crap comes after. I don't want every show to be like that, but it's nice to see some absurd humor once in a while on a major network.

1/10

The show was so bad, you just had to watch it, read an article about it, and comment about it online. At least try and be a funny troll if you want attention.

30 Rock has had some damn good punchlines and jokes when I've seen it (which really hasn't been much.) My only complaint really is the Tina Fey pretending to be unattractive and homely schtick she pulled in Mean Girls.She's really funny and a clever joke writer and really shouldn't have been resorting to the eighties standard glasses=invisible to men material.

Champion of the Sun: Everything about Kenneth is horrible, otherwise it's a great show. If you can't laugh at a pack of wild dogs taking over and successfully running a Wendy's franchise, you have no soul.

I love that whole speech so much I want to go behind the middle school with it and get pregnant.

-I've seen a blind guy bite a police horse! A puppy committed suicide after he saw our bathroom! I once bit into a burrito and there was a child's shoe in it! I've seen a hooker eat a tire! A pack of wild dogs took over and successfully ran a Wendy's! The sewer people stole my skateboard! The projects I lived in were named after Zachary Taylor, generally considered to be one of the worst presidents of all time! I once saw a baby give another baby a tattoo! They were very drunk!

My son. You may not remember me. I am your father. This message is coming to you either from beyond the grave or because I am in the grip of insanity. The purpose of these DVDs is to educate and guide you through life in my absence. I will begin with our shared history. The Donaghys originally come from Ireland's little-known County Steve, where historically we were whiskey testers in goblins. I was raised in Sadchester, Massachusetts. I won the Avery Blaine Handsomeness scholarship to Princeton, and then attended Harvard Business School, where I was voted Most. I once hit a stand-up triple off Fidel Castro. I was the first person ever to say "I need a vacation from this vacation." The song "You're So Vain" was in fact written...by me.

I had problems initially with the series, but the writing could be uniquely absurd. Jack Donaghy saying, "There are no bad ideas, only great ideas that go horribly wrong", made the whole season for me.

Dwight_Yeast: Atomic Spunk: Alec Baldwin is a non-drinker? He has that bloated, puffy-faced look that is so common among raging alcoholics. Perhaps he's a recovering alcoholic?

According to an article I read a couple months ago, Baldwin says he's been sober for over 20 years.

His new fiancée has him on a vegan diet and makes him do yoga (she's an instructor), which is why he suddenly looks decades younger, tons lighter and less puffy.

Stopping the drinking isn't a miracle cure-all. Most people (including myself) substitute the empty calories with sugar, coffee, or other unhealthy options.

liam76: kxs401: I believe that when you have a problem, you talk it over with your priest, or your tailor, or the mute elevator porter at your men's club, and you take that problem and crush it with your mind vice. But for lesser beings like curly-haired men and people who need glasses, therapy can help.

Who can't like that show?

Fifty is the new forty for men. Fifty is still sixty for women.

Brakefornobody: Wasn't really my taste, although Some of Baldwin's were hilarious. What I find ironic is that it made it while Sorkin's overhyped "Studio 60' crashed and burned like the Hindenburg.

They dealt with it in a great way on 30 Rock

Aaron Sorkin: "Hi, I'm Aaron Sorkin, writer of "The Social Network" and "The West Wing"
Liz Lemon: "And Studio 60"
Aaron Sorkin: "Shut up."
