PeterF.May 20, 2008The funniest show on television, bar none.
-
-
mixalotOct 10, 2006the debut episode at least is incredibly funny.

alexlOct 10, 2006saw first episode on an nbc.com page and laughed out loud which is more than anything besides the office does for me

Nov 27, 2010This show is full of wit and great acting. A few jokes are misses, but they're a small percentage when you look at the very funny full pictures. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin bring their phenominal acting, but they aren't spoiled, they share the fun with the entire cast. It is definitely worth it.
-
May 16, 2011One of the most fantastic shows on television. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are fantastic leads, and are backed by an extremely funny supporting cast. The show has pretty goofy humor, but the writing is spot on. The show also gets stronger as it goes on. Don't watch less than the first 4-5 episodes or you will not get the full experience of the show.

Nov 1, 2012I don't know if there's ever been an episode of "30 Rock" where I haven't laughed really hard. Whether or not it's a line from the ever sardonic Liz Lemon, moronic Tracy Jordan, star-obsessed Jenna Maroney, the witty Jack Donagheuy or ever-enthusiastic Kenneth Parcell, the show is consistently funny and stands apart from all sitcoms. It's ten-times more biting, and Fey is perfect.
-
Feb 8, 2013Practically the funniest show on tv. The mishaps of Miss Lemon is just down right hilarious!
So sad it's ended. God good Lemon, i hope another show starts just like this! -
Jul 28, 2013One of the funniest shows on television I've ever seen. It's insanely addictive and hilarious. Highly recommended. Tina Fey's writing is great, as well as her comedic timing. Every character is likable and at one point or other, funny.
-
Apr 1, 2014This one found and held its groove for quite awhile, and ended on a good note. I would get a solid laugh generally every episode and it has rewatchability because some of the humor is very complex and witty. One of the top sitcoms I've seen.
-
JackH.Oct 7, 2008Absolutely ace! Tina Fey has done the impossible, she has made me like Alec Baldwin. My only complaint with this show is all the Soyjoy references, I didn't actually realise it was a real brand.
-
-
IrfanBNov 2, 2006This show has the potential to be the funniest on television right now! Tina Fey, as we all know, is awesome. And Alec Baldwin has probably made the best decision at this phase of his career. I can't see anyone else play the role Baldwin does - egoistical, two-faced, sarcastic, corporate a-hole.9/10 for me.

aquilesdOct 12, 2006loved it, different

JamesN.Jun 5, 2008The best thing since sliced Sabor De Soledad. In all seriousness; this is the greatest show since Arrested Development.
-
-
NateB.Oct 11, 2006A show about a comedy show that is actually funny. Maybe Sorkin should get off his soapbox for a minute and see how it's done. Extremely funny.
-
-
ellieaOct 10, 2006I wanted to like Studio 60 but honestly couldn't make it through the first episode, it was so self-important. Ugh. I watched 30 Rock online twice, laughing at stuff I didn't catch the first time. It's funny!
-

jaredOct 12, 2006Quick witted and funny!

-
[Anonymous]Oct 18, 2006Fast paced, well written, hilarious show!!! The best new comedy of the season.
-
-
JohnOct 20, 2006Hilarious! I love this show and hope the real Alec Baldwins behind the scenes get it and keep their egos outta the way....
-
-
DrewTDec 8, 2006I haven't been watching the show religiously, but what I saw of the November 30th broadcast would lead me to believe it's the best sitcom since "Seinfeld". Tina Fey is the perfect foil and Alec Baldwin has such a great comic sense. Those who don't appreciate the humor are probably used to having their comedy pounded into them. Or maybe they relate too closely to the "Beeper King".

LowellFJan 12, 2007Consistently entertaining. A little torn between being conventional and being absurd-- needs more of the latter.

PatrickDFeb 19, 200830 Rock is a good solid comedy although I think it apes Arrested Development in many ways, it does not detract from my enjoyment. I think if youre 30 something and younger you will probably like it more than older viewers.
-
-
DanielL.Jun 30, 2008I just watched the entire first season, and although this show started off a little shaky, by the end, it was up there with The Office in terms of quality and fun.
-
-
JavierAug 30, 2008The second season wasn't the best, but 30 Rock is still the funniest show on network television.
-
-
steveOct 11, 2006The first episode was really funny. The opening scenes homage to Mary Tyler Moore was clever and then took an absurd twist that was indicative of things to come.I actually thought Morgan was better than usual. I found myself involved quickly and thought the characters were more watchable and engaging than Studio60.

alexpOct 11, 2006tracy morgan is genius in this.
-
-
NicholasAOct 12, 2006Reminds me a lot of Sudio 60: On the Sunset Strip, but then again they are both from NBC. They might be going over board a little.

C.B.Oct 21, 2006Alec Baldwin is fantastic. Tina Fey should have left the acting to someone else...
-
-
JHarJan 21, 2007In the tradition of The Larry Sanders Show, Entourage, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm and the short-lived Sons & Daughters, 30 Rock makes the short-list of TV's best comedies of the past decade.
-
-
PamelaW.Jan 26, 2007Anyone, and I mean anyone who gives this show ANYTHING below a 9 is clueless, has no sense of humor, is jealous for their own reasons, and needs to get life! 30 ROCK ROCKS! All you haters need to get a clue. :)

jcJan 7, 2007i didnt like it at first but the more they get on with a story and not so much show within a show its getting better but is alec really comforable doin g comedy

ShawnBMar 3, 2007If you don't think Tracy Morgan is a comic genius then you need to seriously re-evaluate your sense of humor. And your life.

JimmyS.Aug 22, 200730 Rock and The Office are the 2 funniest shows on television.
-
-
SanjaySep 24, 2007It's kinda unfair that only the pilot is being reviewed. The season didn't reach it's stride until a few episodes later but when it did it really took off. It's Emmy over The Office and Extras speaks volumes since they were also deserving, and in The Office's case, more popular. It is truly the new Arrested Development---too good for it's own good.
-
-
LinclinkJan 21, 2008Along with "The Simpsons", "The Office", and "Pushing Daisies", it is one of the few shows I actually watch. As good a program as there is on TV right now!!
-
-
JenniferL.May 23, 2008Best show on television by a mile. Tina Fey is brilliant as both a writer and an actress.
-

MikeyM.Aug 6, 2008A worthwhile successor-in-spirit to the canceled Arrested Development.

JeffOct 17, 2006HILARIOUS SHOW! Some reviewers here just don't get it...they're stupid (Jams and E rak). This show is going to be a hit!

MelissaCOct 26, 2006Best show in a long time. Tina Fey is God.
-
-
DanB.Dec 16, 2007I am knocked out by this show. I almost never watch television but this blew me away. Baldwin is brilliant. Tina Fey is 2x as great for being a great writer *and* being hot with a scar on her face. The whole show is addictive and I've been watching episodes back to back for hours. I cannot stop!
-
-
MikeS.Oct 28, 2007Tina Fey is absolutely brilliant and this is easily the best sitcom on network TV. In my opinion, it is the best show since Seinfeld!
-
-
JeffTFeb 13, 2007The smartest and funniest writing on TV right now. If NBC holds on to this show long enough most people will realize that they have something as good as Signfeild or Arrested Development. In fact it is sort of a hybrid of each of those shows but also with its own identity. Watch at least 3 episodes before dismissing its genius.
-
-
DarwinG.May 19, 2007Best comedy on television.
-
-
JohnL.Aug 18, 2007Only NBC's "The Office" is this good. A consistently creative and hilarious show, with depth, wit and heart. Simply fantastic !!

ShawnT.Mar 26, 2008Hilarious and witty... and Tina Fey emerges as a new figure of beauty in the world of blond bimbos.

tanyajNov 13, 2006right behind the office, this is myu second favorite show. tina fey is a comic goddess and alex bladwin has fantastic comic presence as the anti-hero and tracey morgan makes me laugh with his off the wall comments. best new show of the season.
-
-
JoanneJ.Nov 15, 2007I agree with Jimmy S. 30 Rock and The Office are the best comedies on TV! I hope it survives.
-
-
AdamNov 16, 2007Easily the funniest show on tv, and I say that even though I was a fan of The Office. Alec Baldwin does it all, and the Kenneth character has turned into one of the most consistent laugh producers on the show. It's one of the few sitcoms that seems to get funnier every episode; each time making you wonder if you had ever laughed this hard.
-
-
Jan 8, 201130 Rock is the funniest show around!!! Gosh, never knew how good it was until I sat down and watched the entire first season. With great humour and some pretty excellent actors, it can grab and keep one's attention for quite a while. I am definitely watching Season 2 as soon as I get the chance!
Highly recommended!! -
Aug 17, 2010This is definitely the best show on television. Tina fey is a comedic mastermind and the supporting cast is phenomenal. You will really be missing out on excellence if you don't check this out.
-
Oct 17, 2010A brilliant first season that layed the groundwork for what has become television's best comedy by a mile. Tina Fey's brilliance is present in every episode, and Alec Baldwin proved to be revelation as Jack Donaghy, television's funniest character. "Hardball," which still might be the show's best episode, was the highlight of the season, deftly balancing zaniness and plot.
-
Oct 18, 2010the best show since arrested development, tina fey is a great writer and actor, i love her nerdy charm, i just wish the show was longer it goes by too quick
-
Jan 21, 2011Now this season is a tricky one. It takes a whiiiilee to get going, to find what it does best (the Jack, Liz relationship), but when it does, hilarity ensues, of course. This season of 30 Rock is probably the one I'm least fond of, that doesn't mean its bad, because it really, really isn't. I just enjoy the Jack and Liz dynamic of the following seasons more.

May 28, 2011Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan are three different types of humor that mesh well together. I don't understand how this has low ratings and shows like "How I met your mother" or "The Big Bang Theory" or "Two and a Half Men" have good ratings. This feels like Arrested Development - in that it's just too goddam funny for the average douchebag.
-
Aug 19, 201130 Rock is easily the most ingenious show on television. The writing is superb and the humor is witty and non stop. The acting is perfect and the chemistry between Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey is second to none. 30 Rock has created such a high standard that I have trouble enjoying most other shows on air.
-
Feb 14, 2012Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are grrreeat in 30 rock. Every character is solid but liz and jack just trump all others. Going through the first 5 seasons on netflix was amazing, I seriously would watch about a season a day. The characters grew on me so much throughout my viewings, I still go back and rewatch random episodes because they're all great!
-
Jan 6, 2012Holy crap do I love this show. The comedy is right up my alley. Alec Baldwin is a huge standout, though I can't get enough of Tina Fey. Lots of strongly-defined recurring characters that shine when they get their on-screen time. I have no idea if there are still new episodes being made...but I kinda hope so, even if the show has had a good run.
-
Mar 20, 2012This TV show is downright brilliant. I love Tina Fey. She is a genius! Every character differs and brings a special plot to this show. This makes it difficult to choose my favorite character because everyone is so unique!
-
Jul 10, 2013Inconsistent at first, but later finds its footing by the season's midway point. A zany NBC comedy with wacky characters and occasionally brilliant and inspired writing. 7.4/10
-
Dec 22, 201230 Rock is created by Tina Fey- a brilliant comic who deserves praise. While 30 rock isn't always funny, and sometimes awkward the only person I want to punch is Kenneth and Tracy Morgan- it is flawed but the t.v. show is great. It's great. Not the best, but still good.
-
Feb 8, 2013The show that launched a thousand ships, 30 Rock will be a writing/acting/absurdist inspiration for decades. We wouldn't have Girls, Community, Modern Family, without the ingenuity and genius of 30 Rock. Bravo.

Aug 4, 201430 rock isn't your average TV sitcom...it's better. This TV show is mainly carried by Tina Fey's whitty comedy and Alec Baldwin's great timing and acting. Tina doesn't really do much for me acting wise, but her ability to make fun of herself is hilarious. This show rightfully deserved the emmy's and golden globes it won.
-
Sep 12, 2014One of the best TV comedies of all times. The acting is brilliant, it moves quickly, it is hilarious, and it's up on the list next to Seinfeld and the Office.
Awards & Rankings
-
One of the zaniest - and most savvy - workplace comedies in years.
-
For all the show's cartooniness, its gender-conscious take on the TV business is actually more sophisticated [than Studio 60's].
-
The standard caution is relevant -- debut episodes tend to be highly polished. All the more reason to enjoy the hilarious scenes and fine ensemble cast here.
