Summary: Funniest Show on TV...By Far!
Comment: 30 Rock is without a doubt the funniest show on TV right now...and most definitely ranks among the "all-time funniest." I didn't think any live-action show could come close to the rapid-fire, razor-sharp wit of the animated Simpsons (the early years), but this manages to accomplish it. Kudos to Tina Fey & Co. Season 2 is worth buying just for Kenneth's birthday party montage. Wish there were more episodes!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hilarious!
Comment: I'm from the U.K. so cant see it on tv yet and have to buy the series.
I bought the first season of "30 Rock" and thought that it was brilliantly written, with so many laugh out loud moments in each episode let alone the whole series!
with season 2 i was suprised to see that it has surpassed its previous, with an absolulty hillarious series! it just gets better and better, and the extras on this dvd are worth buying for, particularly the live performance!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Brilliant comedy
Comment: 30 Rock is great fun. Although season 2 is a lot shorter than season 1 - due to the writers strike in 2007 - the gap is filled with extra material.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I Love This Show
Comment: Granted, this is a full price DVD for what amounts to two-thirds of a season, but I think a rating should reflect the quality of the product. This is a terrific and highly rewatchable show; like "The Simpsons," there are too many jokes to catch on one viewing.
I wish there had been a blooper reel, but there are a lot of good extras: ten commentaries (I like the one with Tina and her husband, show composer Jeff Richmond), a table read, and a live performance of the show with the whole cast participating.
I would recommend this to any fans of the show, and especially to new fans who want to get caught up.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I am so glad there are only 2 seasons (so far)
Comment: I can't get anything done. I have stopped writing. I have stopped editing my new books (both of them). I have sworn off designing Tarot decks, designing magical calendars, and forgot what supermodels I want to date when I am famous. Every night I come home after work and watch this damned TV show! My only hope for future productivity is that I will eventually run out of episodes.
But let me sum up: I don't watch TV. Yeah, yeah, TV paid my bills for several years when I was working with the wonder trio that created Friends, whatever... But I have sworn off of the box for several years now, with only the occasional relapse. But, this show is like crack! Well, having never actually done crack I suppose I am not specifically qualified to give any kind of formal declaration that this show is as euphoric and addictive as that powdery wunderkind of illicit intoxicants. Nonetheless! This show is like crack as I imagine crack would be if you dressed it up in a [...] suit and whored it off to [some random giant multi-national electronics conglomerate] executives in Times Square.
You just can't watch one episode. (Maybe this show is like a potato chip...) Tina Fey is some kind of super-sexy TV genius of our generation and her choice of casting is so spot-on that you literally feel as if you are relaxing in your favorite chair, just off-camera, watching the surreality of network television invade your day. Tina's (I call her that*) particular je ne sais quoi stems from a blend of intelligence, sexual frustration, floppy stance, and Sandra Bullock-esque cuteness that infects the very celluloid (digital just can't capture this level of warmth) the show's magic is captured on with all of the comfort of the sister you wish you had.
The rest of the cast is spectacular as well. My pathetic prattlings will not do justice to the level of humor and camaraderie everyone brings to the set for each episode. This is high alchemy the likes of Seinfeld or I Love Lucy. Without Alec Baldwin or Jack McBrayer (or any of the other hilarious cast members) the show wouldn't flow as seamlessly. The collective on-screen chemistry at play here comes across as both real and (as mentioned before) surreal, like "one of those days" we all face occasionally--but these are the norm here.
It is safe to say that this (and season one) makes an excellent gift for any occasion, and could be enjoyed by anyone with a sense of humor. The subtle innuendo of political views is backlit by the farce of Alec Baldwin's brilliant portrayal of a (platinum, presumably) card carrying member of the upper echelon of uber-right-wing elite media, which should not be confused with the so-called "liberal" media elite, who to the best of my knowledge do not make an appearance in this season.
If you only watch one TV show this year, watch something boring! THIS show will enslave you to the wonders of the 22-minute episodic visual comedy (er... "sit-com"). This show will make you believe in TV again. It will make you laugh so hard you will pee (and get lettuce in your hair, which is embarrassing if that happens in public). You cannot go wrong with this show. One day it will probably be proven to cure cancer. It's just THAT funny.
Thanks for reading.

Editorial Reviews:

Relive the second season of the Primetime Emmy® Award-winning comedy 30 Rock, the show that the guy who writes stuff on DVD boxes calls “my current assignment” and that Gillian Flynn of Entertainment Weekly has named “simply the best TV.” Created by Golden Globe® and SAG Award winner Tina Fey, 30 Rock features Fey (as TV writer Liz Lemon), Golden Globe® and SAG Award winner Alec Baldwin (as corporate executive Jack Donaghy), Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski (as Lemon’s unpredictable stars, Tracy Jordan and Jenna Maroney) and Jack McBrayer (as the naive NBC page Kenneth Parcell). Co-workers and friends, they are all trying to balance work and life, with the inevitable result of failed relationships, disastrous parties, at-work drunkenness, hard-core coffee addiction, world-class sandwich eating and occasional attempts to chop down Christmas trees. Join in the behind-the-scenes fun with lots of exclusive content and all fifteen episodes of the acclaimed second season of 30 Rock from executive producer Lorne Michaels.
