Ok, I'm sure I am blogging about this show too early. I am going to admit here and now that I have only seen 3 episodes of this sitcom. However, the 3 eps that I have seen leave me baffled.
My husband and I love watching TV on DVD. I used to watch tons of shows in their actual time slots, but then I discovered the fun that is watching an entire series at your own pace...even if that means watching 5 episodes on a single day. Try it people. If you have not yet discovered the joys of TV on DVD, I highly recommend it. The only show that I watch in its time slot is Lost, and that's because I can't stand to wait. But Lost deserves its own entry.
Anyway, due to 30 Rock being so popular, and a critic's darling to boot, it was with much enthusiasm that my husband and I purchased Season 2 on DVD. Why season 2, you ask? Because it was on sale for 20 bucks at the local Best Buy (why other seasons were not on sale is a mystery to both of us). The other night we sat down with excitement to watch this Emmy winner, and after episode 1 was over, we both just looked at each other. Readers, I need to know why this show is so popular...we are on episode 3, and things seem to be getting better, but I'm still at a loss. Please tell me the show just went through the typical sophomore slump. We thought we would watch season 2, and then if we loved it, we would go and buy the rest of the seasons, but right now I'm not sure we will.
Tina Fey is a talented woman, but honestly I don't think she is a good actress. And Tracy Morgan's character just seems forced. Jack McBrayer's simpleton page is intensely annoying, and I often times find Jane Krakowski's character cringe-worthy. Alec Baldwin seems to carry the entire show, but I still don't think this is his best work, by far.
Please readers, prove me wrong. Do I need to watch season 1 first? Does season 2 get better? Am I being too hard on the show, and to quick to make a premature judgement? I anxiously await your replies.
