30 Rock - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

...surprised to see that the 30 Rock Season 1 dvd only had one review. Why? Well, 1 - because it's possibly the best comedy out there at the minute and 2 - because recently it's stock has risen dramatically with Tina Fey's popularity following her Sarah Palin impression and articles in the Guardian. I have no doubt that the show's popularity will sky rocket over the next couple of months and the number of reviews increase but for the moment here's my ...

...there just not funny and 30 is certainly funny and always provides at least one laugh out loud moment every episode. Tiny Fey who plays the main character Liz Lemon does a great job of both writing and starring in the show, she plays a slightly desperate, slightly crazy middle age women brilliantly and Alec Baldwin is perfect for the role of High-up executive and his on screen chemistry with Tiny Fey is really good as well. But the Key character ...
