      30 Rock (2006 - 2007)


      Season 1
      30 Rock

      Critics Consensus

      It isn't as consistently as funny as it could be, considering its pedigree, but 30 Rock is a clever, wacky comedy that benefits from a strong ensemble cast.

        Greatest programme around, along with veep
      • Jan 18, 2023
        Another one of my favorite shows. The entire cast of loveable and hilarious. Fun to watch and always makes me laugh.
      • Jun 15, 2022
        I know a lot of people say this show was finding its footing in Season 1, but I think that seriously undersells how good it still is.
      • Apr 17, 2022
        When I heard about this I thought "Cool, Tina Fey wrote a TV show." Then I watched it and thought, "Wow, they didn't even give Kevin Smith credit for writing this?" It's trash. This is horrible writing. It's just bad. It's not even good satire. I feel like the acting is good, but the writing is so bad it's hard to tell. The first season is abysmal and it just doesn't improve from there. I have to say Fey must have really fought hard for this to get approved because it clearly didn't get approved on it's on merits. HARD PASS.

        It was great for a first season

        Takes a bit to find its footing but amazing

        My go-to show! Goofy. Irreverent. Really good casting. Lots of fun.

        I saw a few late season episodes that I found hilarious, and I had waited years to watch the show from the start. Boy, was I disappointed. Half-way into season 1 I have laughed at exactly one episode, which was truly hilarious, but the rest of the episodes are so unfunny I am starting to hate the show to its core. Maybe my expectations were too high having just binged The Office for the first time - hands down my favourite sitcom of all time. I can't figure out why I don't find this show funny at all, I am watching episode after episode hoping for it to elicit a laugh but it rarely does. Alex Baldwin is great and whenever he is on screen I at least feel amused by the show. But he is not enough to carry an entire show.

        This show is one of my favourites, season one is great.
      • Feb 04, 2021
        Years later and I still come back for more. This show is so hilarious. One note - the green screen is so terrible it kills me. Other than that - PERFECT show.
