Briskly paced and perfectly cast, 30 Rock rewards viewers with brilliant dialogue (when Liz asks Jack why he is dressed in a tuxedo with no formal event to attend, he coolly responds, "It's after six; what am I, a farmer?") and fresh characters you haven't seen on a hundred other sitcoms. Jack McBrayer is the series' scene-stealing breakout star as NBC page Kenneth, a sweet and innocent "rube." The ensemble's seemingly spontaneous byplay invites repeat viewings to catch jokes and sly bits of business you might have missed (in "Tracy Does Conan," listen for the initial confusion over how to pronounce Tracy's less-than-ethical physician, Dr. Spaceman, or, in "The Hair and the Head," watch for the Katie Couric slur on the wall of what is purported to be NBC anchor Brian Williams' trashed office). In a season full of gems (including "Black Tie," featuring Paul Reubens as severely inbred royalty), there are only a couple of comparative clunkers, but the pleasure of this ensemble's company more than compensates. 30 Rock is highly recommended for people like Kenneth who just love television so much. And by the hammer of Thor, watch season 2! --Donald Liebenson

It didn't take long for this show to turn things around. They made my evening. I was in a poor mood when I sat down and popped the first "30 Rock" DVD into the player. Tina Fey and the whole cast are hilarious in this show, and the writing is fabulous.

If you're not sure about the show, watch the first couple episodes and you'll love it. It just didn't make sense. It's hard to stop watching. I saw a couple episodes on tv and I really didn't like it. But then I saw the first few episodes of season 1 and I'm hooked.

They just do it. The show creates compelling and humorous storylines, crafting great characters along the way. The show also greatly benefits from pitch-perfect casting. I must admit, it took 3 years for me to get into the show, but once you get into it, it compels you to keep pressing on. From there on out, it's brilliant.

The humor is not always prevalent however, especially in Liz Lemon's personal storylines, but the show certainly has its moments, such as the classic fireworks spectacular that you have to see to believe.

Amazingly, the only episode that is a complete mess is "The Pilot," but as the show progresses, and finds its footing after a mere 4 episodes.

And the show deserves all the acclaim it receives, and yes, it deservedly beat The Office for at least this season.

And while Tina Fey amazingly plays the straight girl (to the confusion, and bemusement of some), the show's humor comes from the out of control egos, from the dumb blond, Jenna, self-proclaimed mental, Tracy Jordan, and the Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming, Jack Donaghy (NOT Donahy).

I look forward to spending more time with Liz Lemon, the best named character on TV.

I don't really know why, or how they do it.

30 Rock is simply a show about crazy, over-inflated egos, and the girl that tries to keep them all together.

Liz Lemon (you gotta love that name) is surrounded by chaos, and without her, the world would fall apart without somebody keeping it spinning and/or GE would lose tons of money.

Also surprisingly, the show doesn't misuse, overuse, or abuse its use of guest stars (in this season).

Like some others I hadn't really paid any attention until the hype with Fey's Palin skit hit the media, but I'm glad it did because I decided to check out a show last Thursday, and that was enough to buy this set. Already have watched a bunch of shows from this 1st season and I'm definitely glad I bought it. Win win. So I basically never watch tv except for sports, and usually hate the so called "comedy shows", but this is just freaking funny. Plus there is the added bonus of getting to see a ton of Tina Fey, who definitely isn't hard on the eyes either.

I haven't viewed it yet, but am looking forward to it. Thanks. I recieved this product in a timely manner and it looks very gently used.almost new. Nic eto do business with.
