    Like the best TV comedies - from "Seinfeld" to "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and all the way back to "The Jack Benny Program" - "30 Rock" sparkles not just because its central star gets to shine, but because everyone does.

    I don't want to spoil the great lines, delivered with perfect comic acting. To me, it's bliss.
