I have discovered a new show, and is normal to me, it has been out for several years. Usually I don’t pick up on a show until it is in the 2nd or 3rd year of existence, and this time I got it right at the start of the 3rd year. So I went back on Netflix, watched the back episodes, and now I’m caught up.
Anyway, 30 Rock is a great show. The writing is hilarious and completely absurd and self referential and the cast is great, especially Alec Baldwin. Tracy Morgan, who I’ve never liked in anything else he’s done, is also really good, in a completely insane way that really makes you question what he is like in person.
I’ve always wondered why this show was beating out The Office for all of those Emmy’s over the last couple of years, and honestly, I always felt angry about it. Now I can say, however, that 30 Rock has taken the place of The Office as my favorite show currently on TV. But I don’t know if that is because of things that 30 Rock has done right, or that The Office has done wrong. Probably a little bit of both, although the amount of stuff that I’m unhappy about this season of The Office is growing and growing.
So anyway, if you haven’t seen 30 Rock, I definitely recommend checking it out ASAP. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Then again, my favorite show of all time is Arrested Development, which practically screams disappointment…
