So far season 3 of 30 Rock has been turning out great; I thought the weakest episode of the season would turn out to be Gavin Volure until Christmas Special came along; it's the weakest episode of the series since SeinfeldVision.... Full review

Season 3 launched from the very beginning to what seems to be another great year of inspired comedy, with smart dialogue and hilarious characters! My half-co-patriot Tina Fey proved what she has already proved:what a genuine comic talents she is, not... Full review

Following the dramatic twist of Succession, the second-to-last episode of 30 Rock's second season insists on keeping things believably silly, with the outcome being the usual twenty minutes of great television. With Don Geiss in a coma and his mentally challenged... Full review

The episode seems like its supposed to be an homage to something, or another story retold in a different story, a parody, and the music is a key that its an homage to something, but since i don't get it, it... Full review

Tina Fey is a talented writer and these episodes often contain a lot of laugh-out-loud moments. These are all the more effective because they are not telescoped or yelled out as is less-cerebral sitcoms. I have yet to embrace or understand... Full review

I wasn't sure to expect from 30 Rock, having watched the steady decline of SNL over the last seven years or so. I felt, however, that this was not really a result of the writing as much as it was of... Full review

And I also wish Aaron Sorkin had seen this episode, too, before the painfully protracted episodes he tried to do with a black writer and a black performer on "Studio 60," which were so frustratingly wrong-headed and wrong-spirited and just plain... Full review

tonight A, B, and C all clicked, and that made for a very good 30 Rock .....While the A plot will be great, B and C will be lame.....I like how the show has a plot that is running throughout this whole season.....having a subplot that revolves around the "rule of three" when it comes to celebrity deaths is a clever choice, especially.... ...

is wicked, intelligent comedy that surely has more Emmys to come.....Corporate sleaze meister Jack Donaghy, played to perfection by Alec Baldwin, couldn't agree more.....the strike is just one well crafted plot in this quick witted and quick moving thirty-minute sitcom..... ... Full Review
