This show is so criminally underrated in the UK - it definitely deserves a decent slot on a mainstream channel, to get the viewers it deserves!
To be fair, it is fairly quirky and likely to divide opinion, but then so do most worthwhile comedies.
It's set in the Rockerfeller Centre in New York (hence the name) and is based around the happenings at the NBC studios. More specifically it is about Liz Lemon (Tina Fey), the head writer of a comedy sketch show, whose life is turned upside down when Jack Donaghy (brilliantly played by Alec Baldwin) becomes her new boss, and forces her to accept Tracy Jordan onto her show. Tracy is an ever so slightly insane, eccentric, unpredictable 'actor' who causes havoc pretty much wherever he goes.
This is the basic premise, which gives rise to 21 witty, cleverly-scripted, original episodes in the first season alone. If you're looking for a basic sit-com which doesn't rock too many boats this probably isn't for you, but if you like your comedies clever, a little bit quirky, and more than a little tongue-in-cheek, then you should definitely make the effort and track this down!It'll be worth it I promise!
