    30 Rock: Ludachristmas
    The staffers celebrate the holidays with a party---which comes complete with a lusty Santa. The festive occasion marks the arrival of Liz's parents (Buck Henry, Anita Gillette) and her brother (Andy Richter), a fortysomething man with memory loss who thinks he's a high-school senior. Another (unexpected) guest: Jack's mother (Elaine Stritch), who decidedly lacks Christmas cheer. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Secrets and Lies
    Jack and C.C. face a romantic test when she suggests going public with their odd-couple relationship. Meanwhile, Liz tries to satisfy the diva needs of her two stars, Tracy and Jenna. Political commentator James Carville makes an appearance. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Jack Gets in the Game
    Jack goes head-to-head against his archenemy, Devin Banks (Will Arnett), when both swoop in to take the job of possibly retiring GE honcho Don Geiss (Rip Torn). Meanwhile, Jenna's plus-size figure brings her newfound fame; and Kenneth sets out to reconnect Tracy with his wife (Sherri Shepherd). ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: The Collection
    Jack worries that ownership will unearth damaging information about him, so he enlists a private investigator (Steve Buscemi) to ward the company off. Meanwhile, Tracy's wife shadows her husband's every move to keep him in line. And Jenna, basking in the newfound celebrity her weight gain has given her, begins to lose pounds. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Rosemary's Baby
    Liz hires her idol, Rosemary Howard (Carrie Fisher), to be a guest writer on the show, but Rosemary's radical ideology causes much friction. Meanwhile, Jack takes Tracy to a therapist; and Kenneth's job is jeopardized. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Greenzo
    Al Gore, Meredith Vieira, and David Schwimmer guest star in this episode, in which Jack concocts an eco-friendly mascot for the network named Greenzo (Schwimmer). But Greenzo's self-righteous sermonizing soon grows tiresome and obnoxious. Meanwhile, Kenneth plans to throw his annual (and overly boring) house party. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Somebody to Love
    When an unlikely romance blossoms between Jack and a Democratic congresswoman (Edie Falco), the couple disregard their vast political differences and keep their new love a secret. Meanwhile, Liz suspects her neighbor (Fred Armisen) is a terrorist. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: SeinfeldVision
    As the 30 Rockers return from summer hiatus, Liz continues her battles with Jack, whose latest ploy involves inserting clips from Seinfeld into current shows, an act that doesn't sit well with one Jerry Seinfeld (who appears as himself). Meanwhile, Jenna sees her waistline widen after starring in the play "Mystic Pizza: The Musical!" ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Cougars
    Tracy steps up to the plate when he coaches a rough-and-tumble inner-city Little League team as part of his community service, but Jack causes complications when he sets out to make the team a winner. Back at the Rock, a hunky young coffee guy woos Liz, despite their 17-year age difference. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Episode 2.10
    As Jack wheels and deals with German TV bigwigs to close a huge television project, he also works to keep his long-distance romance with C.C. alive and well. Meanwhile, Liz buys into real estate. And here's the buzz on Kenneth: He becomes addicted to caffeinated coffee. Singer Gladys Knight guest stars ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Subway Hero
    Jack hopes to book a hot hero who prevented a terrible subway accident. It turns out the man is none other than Liz's ex-flame Dennis (Dean Winters), who tries to win back her heart. Meanwhile, Jack futilely searches for a hip Republican celebrity, with only aging 1940s TV star Bucky Bright (Tim Conway) emerging. Not to be outdone, Jack turns to Tracy to represent Republicans. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Succession
    High-profile corporate changes are in the air when chairman Don Geiss reveals that Jack will be his successor instead of Jack's nemesis, Devin Banks. But unforeseen health issues could change all that. Meanwhile, Tracy believes that his showbiz career embarrasses his son. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Sandwich Day
    Liz's ex-flame Floyd (Jason Sudeikis) returns to the Big Apple and looks for a place to stay overnight. Meanwhile, Jack worries about his future at the company when he's moved to a different floor; and the staffers relish Sandwich Day with sandwiches from a mysterious, unnamed shop. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Cooter
    Jack takes on new political work in Washington, D.C., but when the job doesn't meet his expectations, he enlists his ex-flame C.C. and a government staffer (Matthew Broderick) to help him get fired. Elsewhere, Liz faces a pregnancy scare; Kenneth aspires to be a page at the Olympics; and Tracy puts the final touches on his invention. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: MILF Island
    Jack delights in the TV-programming juggernaut that is the reality show "MILF Island," but his happiness is short-lived when an unknown staffer disparages him in a gossip column. Jack, believing the public insult could threaten his push for the chairman position, sets out to identify the disloyal employee. Rob Huebel guest stars as the host of "MILF Island." ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

    30 Rock: Season 2 [2 Discs] - Widescreen AC3 Dolby - DVD (3 out of 3)
    best comedy ever
    5
    Posted by: from miami, fl on 11/02/2008Watching 30 ROCK during its second season was a completely exhilarating experience. It had in its rookie year quickly established itself as the funniest show on TV, but during its sophomore campaign the writing and acting got sharper and sharper with each episode. Next to ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, I honestly believe that this is the funniest American comedy series ever. Most comedy shows, when the writers get a funny joke or idea, they massage it and call attention to it, perhaps even taking a pause to allow everyone to notice and appreciate it. Not 30 ROCK. The jokes just tumbled out and sometimes they were only there if you looked hard for them. The humor came in waves, in layers. For instance, in one episode Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) is watching Celeste Cunningham (Edie Falco), with whom he has just had a passionate romantic encounter, get interviewed on a news network. The main point in the scene is that the right-wing Republican Jack is horrified to learn that his flame is a left-wing Democrat, but if you look very carefully at the ticker tape along the bottom of the TV screen, you will see the words "Anne Heche leaves husband for pony" scroll across. And shot after shot during the season features in-jokes concerning the Shinehardt Wig Company ("NOT Polluting Rivers since 1997"), which somehow manages to be the parent company for GE. This is not to say that the main jokes aren't great as well (I mean, just how funny is the idea of the fake reality series MILF ISLAND?). The key point is that it isn't just that they jokes are plentiful and unrelenting; they are GOOD. It is humor with an edge, but it is never less than brilliant. This year Alec Baldwin will almost certainly win what should have been his second Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy series. Last year news broke about an abusive message he left on his daughter's phone mail service. It unquestionably cost him the Emmy he deserved. But there is simply no question that he is the most outstanding lead actor on a comedy series today. And Tina Fey not only matches him scene for scene in her self-effacing portrayal of GIRLIE SHOW head writer Liz Lemon, but gets additional major kudos for serving as head writer on the show itself. The two of them are backed by a deep and talented cast, from Tracy Morgan in his inspired role as the literally insane Tracy Jordan to Jack McBrayer in his scene stealing role as Kenneth the page (I would love to see him get an Emmy nomination). And in addition to the regular cast there was an endless string of wonderful guest appearances, including return visits from Dean Winters as Liz's horrid (but very, very funny) ex-boyfriend Dennis and Will Arnett as Jack's company rival Devon Banks. But there were some great one-time guest appearances as well, perhaps none as delightful as Tim Conway's portrayal of a TV veteran who shatters all of Kenneth's illusions about the Golden Age of TV. Oddly enough, the one guest appearance that misfired was that by Jerry Seinfeld. It was as if the show ceased doing what makes it so brilliant to accommodate Jerry's guest spot. The lone mystery about 30 ROCK is why it doesn't attract a larger audience. I won't name names, but there are hosts of truly lousy series that get far larger audiences than 30 ROCK. This show gets the critical acclaim and wins the awards, but it simply doesn't pull in the large ratings. This distresses me. It makes me wonder if America is clueless about great comedy. I don't get it. Never have and perhaps never will. But trust me: this is as brilliant, as funny as TV can get.

    Best Comedy in Years
    5
    Posted by: from on 09/18/2008A rarity for any show, "30 Rock" continues and exceeds expectations of brilliance set by the Emmy-winning first season in it's second go-around. I cannot remember a comedy that has had me laughing so often. There is a reason people like Jerry Seinfeld and other A-list celebs had cameos in the first season - they wanted to be a part of a series that will be remembered long after it's run as ended.
