Very snappy dialog with impeccable comedic timing. I watch it about once a year. Baldwin is a beast.

I'm a Tracy Morgan fan and he definitely helped make the show work for me. Added a nice balance to the constant neurosis of the other characters.

I never got really invested in any of the storylines or characters, but the dialogue is packed with good lines and quick delivery.

I love this show. Huge fan of Tina Fey and anything she does. The show does drop a bit around seasons 5 or 6, but bounces back strong in the final season I think.

My goal is to somehow use my career experience to get a job with GE. After I take on the CEO role product line I'm familiar with, I'll learn all that 6 sigma bull and then take over microwaves or something. Eventually I'll basically be Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock. I've based my career plans off of that show.

Not the biggest fan of liz lemon's character, but there are so many other characters that kill me. Tracy, Jack, Liz's Ex (Mayhem Guy), Kenneth, etc. It's definitely a show that evem when the story sucks, the quirkiness still keeps you laughing. Lot's of very talented people came through as writers for that show.

I'm still waiting for Milf Island to get made into a reality series.

I'm about 7 or 8 eps in now and starting to like it more. Tracy has toned it down a bit. It's not just "HEY I'M BLACK AND I'M YELLING REALLY LOUD" anymore, he's actually acting like a human. And everyone else is picking up steam as well.

I prefer 30 Rock. Better writing. The entire first season of Parks and Rec is awful.

30 Rock had some dull moments in the middle, but ended strong with a great last season.

Jack is one of the most quotable characters in t.v. history...


'Never follow a hippie to a second location' – Jack

'I like when a woman has ambition. It's like seeing a dog wearing clothes' – Jack

'Factories provide three things this country desperately needs: jobs, pride, and material for Bruce Springsteen songs' – Jack

Absolutely love the show.

Also, can't remember which episode, but I believe Tina Fey warned us about Bill Cosby.

Letting Alec Baldwin loose on set is never a bad idea:

Jack pretends to be Tracy's parents

Ok so I'm not about 5 episodes through season 2 and I'm in for the long haul. This show is awesome. Jack cracks me up. Pretty much anything he says is funny.

I wish I had a better memory to recall some of Jack's funnier lines. There's probably one per episode that makes me bust out laughing.

That clip is hysterical. When Jack starts paraphrasing Tom Robinson's defense from To Kill a Mockingbird, I laugh everytime. (And when Tracy hands the therapist the wad of cash)
