The last few years for sitcoms have not been good. NBC's award winning 30 Rock created by Tina Fey, may be a last ditch effort to change that trend. However, it has yet to find a large audience.
TV fans who know good TV when they see it are nervous about this shows lack of success. In all honesty, it's one of the best shows on the tube today. It epitomizes smart entertainment.
According to the Nielsen Ratings, the show ranks a dismal 102 of 142 television series. In spite of being nominated for and winning many prestigious awards such the Peabody Award, the Best Comedy Series from The Writers Guild of America and the 2007 and 2008 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series
Fey is winning as the show's star, playing a character not too far distant from her real life persona. Alec Baldwin continues to shine as her high-rolling, suit-wearing, GE boss. Their relationship finds ways of satirizing many things, but most notability, the control of the entertainment industry by big business conglomerates.
NBC certainly is hoping that the third time's the charm, with a third season beginning. If history shows us anything about the television industry, sometimes when you hold onto a show long enough, its viewership significantly improves. Seinfeld took years before it became a hit.
Their hope is even higher, given Fey's recent success and popularity as a guest starring on Saturday Night Live as Sarah Palin. No doubt her dead ringer performance has contributed strongly to SNL's great ratings this season. Whether that helps Fey's show will be seen.
I hope so too, because I want to see more episodes of this show. I don't want "30 Rock' to become one of those smart shows that America was too stupid to watch.
You will find complete episodes and downloads available through the "NBC Direct" service (Americans only). It's also available again on Apple's iTunes. I've also found many of all three seasons episodes and clips on Hulu.com. com. Enjoy.
