There’s a reason why this show has won the Emmy for Best Comedy for both years it’s been on the air. 30 Rock has returned, and it has brought all of its wonderful charm with it. Season 2 left off with Liz’s bright-eyed dream of adopting a young’n to call her own, Tracy’s bright-eyed dream to create his own Porn Videogame, and Jack’s bright-eyed dream of becoming the CEO of GE was ruthlessly crushed to death, and now carries the bright-eyed dream of getting the hell outta of his new job in DC. That ordeal is taken care of within the first five seconds of “Do-Over”, and was explained the only way 30 Rock knew how; insult the vice-president.

And then the next thirty minutes was full of laughter.

Tracy’s rolling in the dough, and Jenna wants her fair share. Jack is but a lowly mail-boy who aims to be back at the top in at least five or nine years. Liz is still overly nerdic, and needs to hide that when the Adoption Agent rolls into the TGS workplace. Therefore, Liz needs to hide everything about the place that would be deemed unsafe for a child (i.e. everything), and convince all of her friends and co-workers to lie about everything about themselves, the workplace, and Liz herself. Hilarity ensues. This continues 30 Rock’s strong stance on strong character devlopment, tounge-in-cheek humor, and further fuel for that almost stalker like obsession I have with Tina Fey. And Alec Baldwin. And the rest of the 30 Rock cast, I guess. That’s still the small issue I have with the series. Liz, Jack, Tracy, and the occasional Guest Star seem to take up a lot of the screentime. The rest of the cast is hilarous every second they’re on screen, and this show will be perfect when it finds a good balance for the supporting leads. All and all, this is still must-see-TV.

If you’re one of the millions of people still missing this series, shape up and watch the first two seasons pronto. Or just watch this one now. You’ll thank Papa Zach later.
