Quotes

Jack Donaghy: Mother, I'm sorry, but the Lemons invited me out, and I couldn't say no. They're very nice people.
Colleen Donaghy: Oh, nice. I'll show you nice. Let's all meet down at the soda shop while this country turns into Mexico.
Jack Donaghy: Now, you see, they don't say things like that. They're very polite to each other.

day before accident..

30 Rock

With a sensational triumph of six Golden GLobes, 30 Rock is undeniably critics' choice and the buzz pays off with Fey; the creator, at the heart of it, whose vision is crystal clear and on the mark.

It is a single camera sitcom about a writer of a TV Show and the behind-the-camera chaos it goes through before it goes on air. The somewhat distorted concept isn't what the series relies upon, its ideal vacation is to reach for a mature audience with wise and not funny writing.

It is rich on technical aspects like the production design but fails completely on cinematography and background score. As mentioned earlier, the humor isn't forcibly imputed which allows the makers to visit unknown places without any restraints and communicate fluently with the viewers.

The soul of the series is certainly its huge cast who can easily charm their way out of anything but Baldwin and Fey does invest a lot in it and are flat out hilarious in it.

Layered, satirical and thought-provoking writing, ironical humor and injected with enough content to run for its twenty minutes are the high points of this brilliant sitcom. Few cameos and a knack of taking bold moves factors a lot on keeping the audience tangled in its exhilarating world.

Season 02

It narrows down its priorities to primary lead characters and isn't spread across unlike the first season, and within fifteen chapters it triggers down the anticipated chills and thrills through definite arc in each characters that melts you down and cracks you up.

Ludachristmas

The rift-slash-friendship between Baldwin and Fey with a new intriguing and fresher concept that is exhilarating to encounter with some brilliant guest appearances and back in the office, it isn't up to its standards.
