So there is this show that maybe you have seen. It’s called 30 Rock? It had more 17 Emmy nominations this year? It took the top three awards that night in Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Comedy? You haven’t seen it?! Shame on you. But a lot of people haven’t so I am willing to forgive.
This show is awesomely funny. I will admit that I, myself, did not become fully invested until this summer when I decided to buy the first season on a whim. I finished that in a day so I decided to preorder season 2. This has pretty much taken up my apartment’s past week. This show is great, right up there with some of my other loves like Arrested Development and The Office.
The best part of the show is without a doubt the main character, Liz Lemon, who is played to perfection by Tina Fey. My friend Megan and I decided that she is a girl after our own hearts. She gets caught wearing a one piece swimsuit instead of underwear on laundry day, she gapes when a guy asks her out on a date starting at ten, she high-fives herself after particularly good jokes, and, our favorite, she tells her ex-boyfriend that he will have to be more specific after he asks to take her to the BBQ place she threw up at. Awesome.
The show has some other really great characters (see Kenneth the Page, Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy, and a amazingly hilarious Tracy Morgan as, surprise, Tracy Jordan). Also, more celebrities stop by this show than Late Night. Last season had Steve Buscemi, Will Arnett, Matthew Broderick, Carrie Fisher, David Schwimmer, and Jerry Seinfeld. I cannot express how funny this show is, so just go watch it already.
