Movie Reviews of 30 Rock: Season 2
Movie Review: Didn't lose a step in S2
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite the momentum-threatening writers strike that gave us a 3-month break between the 10th and 15th episodes, "30 Rock" suffered no sophomore slump. Many of the S2 episodes were instant classics, including "Rosemary's Baby" with Carrie Fisher as Liz Lemon's one-time comedy idol -- a once-edgy but now just whacked-out writer; the "Somebody to Love", "Secrets and Lies," "Coffee and TV" trilogy featuring Jack's doomed but oh-so-hot romance with congresswoman C.C. Cunningham (Edie Falco); and a finale that hilariously nails the attitudes of Bush-era D.C. ("Cooter"). Marvelous turns by guest-stars abound, including a reprise of Jack's mother by the astonishing Elaine Stritch; the return of Will Arnett as Jack's G.E. nemesis, Devin Banks, and of Dean Winters and Jason Sudeikis as Liz's former boyfriends, Dennis "the Beeper King" Duffy and Floyd, former G.E. attorney now relocated to "the Cleve"; Fred Armisen as a suspicious neighbor in Liz's apartment building; and Buck Henry, Anita Gillette, and Andy Richter as Liz's parents and brother.
To make up for the shorted season, the producers are augmenting the strike-shortened season with many more extras than the S1 DVD set had. Check out the listings here: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/30-Rock-Season-2-Extras/9979
TEN of the fifteen episodes will have commentary tracks (compared to only six of S1's 22 episodes). Then there's a table-read, Tina hosting SNL, an ATAS evening, and the item I'm really dying to see: "30 Rock Live" at the UCB theater (an on-stage sneak-preview performance of Ep. 8, "Secrets and Lies" that occurred during the strike). Can't wait for this set's release on Oct. 7!
Movie Review: BRILLANT
Summary: 5 Stars
I was not familiar w/ this show until I recently watched it on Netflix streaming and became an instant fan. I haven't enjoyed an intelligent comedy show for adults this much since Will & Grace, 3rd Rock From The Sun and the old SNL (think Dana Carvey as the Church Lady, Bill Murray, etc.). The show is quick paced and sharp. I laugh out loud again! Sometimes I do get a bit bored with Tracy's (Morgan) Jordan's over the top behavior, but that is about the harshest criticism I can muster. Tina Fey really is a genius with her great writing and acting skills. I was amazed she was also the executive producer. How does she do all of this and then do it so incredibly well??? The cast is exceptional, although if the actors portraying the show's writers were replaced I wouldn't miss them. Alec Baldwin and Jack McBrayer are sooooo believable and funny! I love this show and hope it has a very long run at least for the 100 or so episodes needed for syndication. Kudos to NBC for this show and Heroes!!! I think it's wonderful NBC and AMC's Mad Men show prove that non-cable TV can be have EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY.Movie Review: Great writing, wonderful cameos -- Bound to be a Classic

I stumbled on "30 Rock" quite by accident one Thursday night when there was nothing much to watch. I don't know why I wasn't attracted to it when it first came out ... but I can only guess some sort of other distraction.
"30 Rock" has grown to become my FAVORITE comedy series of all time. I don't say that lightly either. I love Tina Fey and with her Sarah Palin imitations she gained new notoriety and I think more and more people began to give "30 Rock" a try.
One try (the 3rd season) and I was ABSOLUTELY hooked. I received seasons 1 and 2 for Christmas and have just eaten them up over and over. Any time I need to pull myself out of the dumps, I put on some "30 Rock" and enjoy several episodes at a time. I love Kenneth and Tracey ... aww heck, I love them all.
I am a late bloomer for this show but a definite junkie., I, too, am startled to discover how many people really don't know the show or have not watched it?? Like me I guess. One or two episodes and you are hooked.
It's the best. :)
Movie Review: Best show on TV
Summary: 5 Stars
When the studio charges full price for this second season set, I thought this set will come in 3 discs, comprising all 15 episodes in the shortened season and tons of extras to justify its price. Then I read the description and it says this set has only 2 dics!!!
Still, because of the quality of the show, I'm giving it all 5 stars. Even though there are only 15 episodes, I find it has lots more laughter than first season's offering. My favs of the second season are Seinfeld Vision, Rosemary's Baby, LudaChristmas, Untitled hiatus episode, NILF island, Subway Hero, Succession, and Sandwich Day. I guess I should have said I enjoy pretty much every episode. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are the obvious stars but there are plenty of guest stars that made this show the best on TV such as the legendary Rip Torn.
Movie Review: 30 Rock ROCKS!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is officially my new favourite comedy. It is so hilarious that even when you're laughing, you're missing punchlines - which is precisely why you need the DVD. You definitely need to watch this series more than once to fully appreciate all the laughs. And trust me, you would have missed some during your first time (if you tend to laugh out loud like I do).
The extras aren't much to write home about, but there is a live re-enactment of one of the episodes that the cast puts on at a theatre (to help the staff affected by the writers' strike) and seeing them live is pretty funny. Apart from that, there's a live reading and Tina's prep for SNL (where she hosted). So not the greatest extras (like series one) but it is different.
Highly recommend! You won't regret!
