Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Remember
Arrested Development? Smartest, funniest show on television. A
critics' darling. An Emmy-winner for Best Comedy Series. But no
one watched, and it was cancelled. Will history repeat itself
with 30 Rock? It's the smartest, funniest show on television. A
critics' darling. An Emmy-winner for Best Comedy Series. And it
finished its inaugural season in 137th place! Hopefully, people
will discover all that they missed with this Season 1 set and 30
Rock will, better late than never, find the audience it so richly
deserves. A behind-the-scenes workplace comedy in the grand
tradition of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Dick Van Dyke
Show, 30 Rock stars comedy geek goddess Tina Fey as Liz Lemmon,
who juggles her hess personal life with her chaotic career as
the producer and head writer of an SNL-ish sketch comedy show.
She has a new boss, cunning and ruthless GE executive Jack
Donaghy (Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award-winner Alec
Baldwin), who insists on being her mentor, and a new star,
medicated, loose-cannon comedian Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan), who
steals the spotlight from the show's flighty star, Jenna Maroney
(Jane Krakowski).
Briskly paced and perfectly cast, 30 Rock rewards viewers with
brilliant dialogue (when Liz asks Jack why he is dressed in a
tuxedo with no formal event to attend, he coolly responds, "It's
after six; what am I, a farmer?") and fresh characters you
haven't seen on a hundred other sitcoms. Jack McBrayer is the
series' scene-stealing breakout star as NBC page Kenneth, a sweet
and innocent "rube." The ensemble's seemingly spontaneous byplay
invites repeat viewings to catch jokes and sly bits of business
you might have missed (in "Tracy Does Conan," listen for the
initial confusion over how to pronounce Tracy's less-than-ethical
physician, Dr. Spaceman, or, in "The Hair and the Head," watch
for the Katie Couric slur on the wall of what is purported to be
NBC anchor Brian Williams' ted office). In a season full of
gems (including "Black Tie," featuring Paul Reubens as severely
inbred royalty), there are only a couple of comparative clunkers,
but the pleasure of this ensemble's company more than
compensates. 30 Rock is highly recommended for people like
Kenneth who just love television so much. And by the hammer of
Thor, watch season 2! --Donald Liebenson
