More Fun on 30 Rock

NBC continues to have a winner in 30 Rock, it only trails The Office in rankings. The fourth season has just started and has proven to be just as good as previous seasons. Season 1 through 3 are available on DVD and should be part of your collection.

The first season shows what good writing and good characters can do when they get a chance to develop. The show is about a television show on NBC, shot on set at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Tina Fey, who created the show and helps write the Emmy winning sitcom, plays Liz Lemon. She is a workaholic, with minimal social skills, and as head writer for the show inside a show, is in charge of keeping the writers and actors in line.

Alec Baldwin plays the boss, he just likes to do the business not the problems so that's where Tina Fey's character Liz comes in, to take care of the issues. She has to handle the writers as well as the actors as they are all problem children.

The largest part of the 30 Rock's TV show is given to Tracy Morgan, from SNL. He plays Tracy Jordan, a movie star now in a TV role, who doesn't function normally and causes lots of probems so he has to be supervised. Most of the characters who play actors on the show are weird like him and need constant oversight.

You should buy the DVD's in order to watch and then be up to speed on these crazy characters this season. Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey work well together. Tracy Morgan has found the role made for him and is very comfortable there as he appears to be having fun. The show has only gotten better as time has passed and the characters have been developed.
