    This is TV's best comedy. And there's nothing in the first two episodes that would suggest otherwise.

    Both episodes are tightly constructed and full of delicious comic gems, and the show relies heavily on crisp editing and a subtle but sprightly soundtrack to keep the energy level high.

    Fey's back to her day job tonight and 30 Rock is as funny as ever, as cynical as we hoped, and as fresh as if it were a freshman show.

    This is the season that made me fall in love with 30 Rock. I think this is probably the show's finest hour. For the most part every episode is hilarious (every sitcom since the beginning of time has never had a perfect season, yes, not even Arrested Development, and certainly not Seinfeld) and the show has such a manic, exciting feel that you just can't help but succumb to it. Man, I could watch "El Generalissimo" on repeat all day (hyperbole, of course).… Expand

    Well after being told that this is the next Arrested Development I decided to give this show a chance. Unfortunately, the critics seem to be watching something else. I watched the first half of one episode and at some point in time I had a revelation. I realized that it was a comedy and not one joke had been made. Maybe I didn't give it time. I am betting the show is politically charged and is overrated. The only thing this show has in common with AD is the ratings. The difference is AD had low ratings due to its different pacing and terrible marketing. 30 Rock meanwhile has low ratings because its boring. I am trying to find the next Arrested Development, I have not found it yet and I dont think I ever will, but I know this is not it.… Expand
