My wife and I have been working our way quickly through season one of 30 Rock.  Simply brilliant.  30 Rock strikes me as the kind of show that I could find good reasons not to like:

1. Lots of big stars (including Alec Baldwin playing an obnoxious, wealthy Republican)

2. Yet another SNL derivative/homage

3. Product of the ever-annoying NBC “Must-See Thursday” hype machine.

But it works!  Tina Fey and the other writers do a great job of ridiculing everything.  And Baldwin steals every scene he’s in (in a good way).

I think it’s (gasp!) funnier than The Office.  Five Stars.
