Based more-than-loosely on backstage shenanigans at "Saturday Night Live," "30 Rock" centers on young Liz Lemon, currently head writer for a live sketch-comedy show in New York. Complications follow when the network's new president orders Liz to hire mentally unstable movie star Tracy Jordan to join the cast, throwing neurotic leading lady (and Liz's best friend) Jenna Maroney into a tizzy. Liz tries to juggle all the egos around her while trying to chase her own dream.

Jon Weisman Variety It's funny: I still think "The Office" is the deeper, more rewarding comedy. But "30 Rock" goes wit-to-wit with it, and certainly has provided the most memorable comedic moments of the cut-down 2007-08 season. Oct 12, 2019 Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club The show's genius comes from its ability to layer smart jokes on top of smart jokes while keeping characters like Jack and Liz warm and alive. Rated: A Oct 12, 2019 Full Review Emma Brockes Guardian The writing is so good that the show's formula doesn't poke through. The unique gifts of each character have taken a while to come out -- heading into season two it's apparent that the best comic creation is Kenneth. Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Michelle Zoromski IGN Movies Season two, though shortened by the writers' strike, was smart, funny and thoroughly entertaining. Rated: 8/10 Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Mark Oakley Den of Geek Fey has created a series of true wit and intelligence, lightly scattered with always excellent ‘where did that come from’ moments... Rated: 5/5 Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network Everyone plays to their strengths but both Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin were never afraid to mock themselves and the characters they portray...

Dave C Brilliant. Love the quips and gags, and the characters are like friends. Great stuff Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review john N One of the funniest comedies to ever air. The jokes per minute is insane. They all land very well. Must watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review drew b The jokes per minute in this show, is insane. They just keep coming. It would be like going to a baseball game that had a home run every other batter. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member There is surprisingly deep commentary in 30 Rock, although it may be hard to see through all the goofiness. Season 2 builds on the plotlines introduced in S1 and contains itself in a rather tight narrative (for a sitcom). It's also one of the funniest shows to ever grace television. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an absolute must see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member They had Tucker Carlson on. Ew.
