30 Rock: Season 1 Volume 1 Review

So I didn't jump onto the 30 Rock bandwagon until the second season.  Even after I had heard about all of the Emmy nominations, I still didn't make it a priority to watch it. After my friend went on and on about it, I was like "Fine! I'll watch it so you'll shut up!" OH MY GOSH!! It is SOOO funny!

I had to go back and rent the first season on DVD to get caught up with the characters and the story line.  30 Rock stands for 30 Rockefeller Center, where the variety show, TGS, is taped.  Liz Lemon(Tina Fey) is the producer and her boss is Jack Donoghy (Alec Balwin).  The main cast members are Tracey Jordan (Tracey Morgan) and Jenna Moroney (Jane Krowkowski) are always at each others throats about something and Liz Lemon has to focus on keep them in line each episode.  I love that TGS is pretty much a spoof of Saturday Night Live, and most of the guest characters on 30 Rock are Saturday Night Live cast members.

Some of the main characters, Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, and Tracey Morgan, have me in stitches, but its also the characters that have small speaking parts in various episodes that get me rolling!  The not-so-medically-inclined Dr. Spaceman is one of my favorites.  And I always love it when the very strange Cathy Gueiss (who I don't think has ever spoke) makes an appearance.  

If you haven't jumped on the 30 Rock bandwagon, get on board! We'll make room for you!
