Comedic Gold



It's difficult to consume my DFW-mandated 6 hours of television a day. But fortunately you have shows like 30 Rock. So many jokes a few are bound to hit, like Alec Baldwin doing an impression of Fred Sanford. Kind of amazing this show is still on the air while getting killed in its timeslot. Demographic respite?

Kind of reminds me of Arrested Development, even though that show is way better. Both half-hour network comedies that don't get a big viewership despite critical adoration. The benefit 30 Rock gets is it is on NBC Thursday night, while Arrested Development was on Fox who knows what day of the week. The suits are more lenient because of the Seinfeld legacy, Lorne Michaels, etc.
