DVD Review: 30 Rock -- Season 1

30 RockI love Liz Lemon! Physically!

I disliked her on Saturday Night Live, where she won an Emmy for writing before becoming one of the cast, but I love Tina Fey's alter ego Liz Lemon, who is head honcho of her own late night sitcom show on NBC's 30 Rock.

30 Rock -- which won the Emmy this year for Best Comedy -- is a comedy that revolves around Liz Lemon who heads the whacky crew of a Saturday Night Live-type of show. The hysterical characters are played perfectly by this all-star cast. Jane Krakowski plays Jenna Maroney, the lead of The Girlie Show, until Alec Baldwin's character, Jack Donaghy, decides to draft ex-movie star Tracy Jordan, played by Tracy Morgan, to rejuvenate the show with his, literally, crazy antics. Liz has to learn to manage these and all the other cast members, including the writers and an NBC page, played by Jack McBrayer, under Jack's wing. Kenneth the page is a standout character. He is played masterfully by McBrayer. Alec Baldwin is brilliant as Donaghy. A television performance like this is pure perfection and a joy to watch. Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski are great also, along with guest stars such as Isabella Rossellini, Nathan lane, Will Arnett, and Paul Reubens...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!
