30 Rock (TV Series) - Season 1

USA 2006, 457 minutes
English
Genres: Television, Comedy

Feat. Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski

Aroview: Spunky, critically acclaimed TV satire captained by the brilliant Tina Fey (MEAN GIRLS), here playing the besieged head writer of a comedy variety show hampered by its dysfunctional star comic (Morgan), and a grizzly network executive (Baldwin) intent on wrestling back creative control.

Based on Fey’s experiences as an SNL scribe, her sitcom shares its origins as a backstage pass with the earnest STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP, smuggling sly in-jokes and madcap workplace scenarios throughout its savvy behind-the-scenes premise. Deceptively conventional and in the spirit of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, this also garnered the lowest of ratings – a barometer, as always, of quality, unquantified television.

Season One: Pilot + 20 episodes across three discs.

4 stars (Very Good) A TV series which not only grew on me over the course of the first season, but at times had me in fits of uncontrollable laughter thanks to the hysterically unpredictable and dysfunctional interactions between cast members. Tracy Morgan at his funniest. ~Tom H
