DVD Reviews of 30 Rock - Season 1

DVD Review: The Tracy Morgan character is a major turn off
Summary: 2 Stars

I would give this show more stars but I dislike the Tracy Morgan character. What is with black characters still shuckin' and jivin' like it's 1940? Didn't these black people attend American schools? So why are they still incapable of speaking correct English? What were they doing in school for 12 years? Why are they still acting like they are part of an imbecilic minstrel show? What is with the endless black dialect? I know this is supposed to be a comical character but I found him so annoying that I gave up on the show. Hey, Tracy! There's a black man in the White House! How about stepping into a time machine and zooming forward to the year 2009?

DVD Review: Funny show.
Summary: 5 Stars

I dont know if I like this show more because its funny or because Tina Fey is sexy. Good Stuff!

DVD Review: Good show, but far away from being the best...
Summary: 2 Stars

Althoug this is a solid show (thanks in great part to Alec Baldwin's talent and charisma), there's no way I can undertand it having won so many Emmy's and other nominations as best comedy. No way.

This is a conventional show by all accounts. It has absolutely none of the wit, the boldness, the intrincacies of the plots of a "My Name is Earl", for example. Heck, "Two And A Half Men" and even "The Big Bang Theory" are outright more fun, more clever, more dinamic.

I bought this first season without watching any episode on TV, base on the high remakrs it obtained. I was utterly dissapointed, but, as I said before, the show itself is good. It's just not nowhere near greatness.

DVD Review: wow
Summary: 5 Stars

wow I own the first and second season of 30 rock and its truly amazing. its staring Tina fey and Alec Baldwin. they all do there best in this show to make a great show.

DVD Review: I love the show!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am not that into American comedies nowadays. My husband tried to make me watch "arrested development", "The simpsons", etc. But I just can't make myself like them. They ARE funny shows, don't get me wrong. But I just can't watch a show while not liking any of the characters in them. To me it's like that hollywood is trying to promote the "mean" as if it's the new "cool".

"30 Rock" proved that we CAN make a real comedy without making it mean or evil!!!

Description of 30 Rock - Season 1

Emmy Award winner Tina Fey writes, executive produces, and stars as Liz Lemon, the head writer of a live variety program in New York City. Liz's life is turned upside down when brash new network executive Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin in his Golden Globe winning role) interferes with her show, bringing the wildly unpredictable Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) into the cast. Now it's up to Liz to manage the mayhem and still try and have a life. Join in the behind-the-scenes hilarity with the complete first season (21 episodes) on DVD.

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 hapless 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' trashed 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
