I'm a big fan of The Office, My Name is Earl and especially 30 Rock. For whatever reason, I know plenty of people who are fans of The Office and Earl, but have never really watched 30 Rock. I really don't understand this. So what do you think? Why doesn't this show catch on and do better in the ratings?

I challenge anyone to watch this scene and not LOL. In it, Jack, who is played by Alec Baldwin, tries to get Tracy into therapy to stop dog fighting (and everything else Jack tells him not to do):

30 Rock is great!! It's a wonderfully written show and well acted by Alec Baldwin. Tina Fey is ok, but Alec Baldwin is the heart and soul of that show. Other fave characters: Kenny, Tracy (sometimes), and Tina Fey.

I freaking SCREAMED at that scene when I first saw it, and my opinion of Baldwin's talent shot up about 500%, in those 90 seconds.

I do love Kenny. "I don't drink hot beverages. That's the devil's temperature."

It sure beats 2 And A Half Men or According To Jim.

I enjoy it a lot too. And who doesn't have a wee crush on Tina Fey?

Never seen the show (and probably never will because I don't get cable/satellite).. but I LOLed.

I hate According to Jim. My schoolboy crush on Courtney Thorne Smith has long hit the road.

I meant in the Scottish way. Not the Pee Pee way.

Hmm. Perhaps also in a "ride the roller coaster" sort of way.

That was one of my favorite parts too. I want to party with the guy who wrote that line.

I thought the same thing. That was sheer brilliance by Baldwin. I always thought he was funny. But that scene really made me believe that he was phenomenally talented.

drag0nmanes

Meh, I didn't laugh. Looks like they tried but Baldwin has never down it for me over the years, and Morgan is OK but nothing to spectacular.

yellowmac

30 Rock = teh awesome.

can't wait for it to come back!

Troublebot

Good god, how I love this show.

I don't know who I crush harder on... Tina Fey or Alec Baldwin.
