Just started watching the first season. Color me surprised, I'm actually liking this.

Been a fan for ages. Don't know what it is about it, just suckered me in. Reinforced my belief in the Baldwin legend.

I've always been a Baldwin fan, I'm not sure why I didn't bother with this until now. He probably has the best character introduction.
And Tina Fey is always a nice sight.

I'd say she's the thinking man's crumpet.
Overall the show's not bad. I'm up to Season 3, the TV channels here in Blighty kicked it onto satellite and I only have this freeview stuff. So...with Season 6 started in the States I'm behind. Think it's got life in it yet but like some things it'll flag one day.

Checked out The One with the Cast of Night Court and Gavin Volure both startlingly funny. The former with Jennifer Aniston somehow alluring but doing the full on Fatal Attraction and the latter Steve Martin being funny. Both with their fair share of moments.

I'm pleased that 30 ROCK didn't lose its mojo during the long hiatus. It's been pretty good since its return (I loved Kelsey Grammer's return visit).

It does seem to recover after breaks, the writer's strike for instance. I only say that as I'm stuck on Season 3. We're not bound to get Season 6 for a year I'd imagine. Was keen on seeing the live episode they did for Season 5 though it'd lack something being on DVD rather than actually live.

If I remember correctly, the live episode was so-so.

I figured as much. Think they did it twice for East Coast/West Coast.
Hopefully some more episodes with Jack's mother. Though judging by the updates I'm getting from the show stuff involving Jack's woman and South Korea. See Condi Rice will be in it at some point, no doubt putting a 'face' to the Jack-Condi relationship from Season 1.

Watched some clips. Not bad. May watch an episode or two.

Prodding into Season 4 for the first time. Could there be such joy in watching Jack Donaghy smash a puppet to bits? No? Well, you've not lived.
Onwards and most assuredly, upwards

Four more of Season 4 featuring Walken/Scorcese and Al Gore once more. Somehow not as funny as before for Gore though a reuse of his whale line. Ah, jokes about recycling.

Season 4's Dealbreakers features this sequence where the HD camera transforms people's images...Kenneth really is a Muppet. Jack...forever young.
Secret Santa has many moments the chief one being the Boston accented Julianne Moore then Larry Wilcox's cameo.
