It's exactly based on that.

Co-written by Tina Fey, but not different enough from 30 Rock to make it stand out. Kind of a mixture of that and Veep maybe? Danson gets to do some self-deprecatory humour based on his age and out-of-touchness, so that's good, but overall I'd say worth looking at, but don't expect too much. Some pretty cliched characters mostly carried over in spirit from 30 Rock. Sorry, you can't watch it without the name popping up in your head all the time.

On the other hand, if you haven't seen 30 Rock you may enjoy this on its own merits.

Interesting, this is the first I've heard of it. I liked 30 Rock well enough and then Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, I guess I'm signed up for the pilot now.

30 Rock was good but also annoying at times. I think that's just my relationship with Fey.

I loved 30 Rock. Definitely one of the better comedy shows in the last decade or so.

I guess if you like pseudo comedians hammering you over the head with terrible dialogue while not quite looking you in the eye as if you're supposed to take their non-jokes as brilliant commentary. I legitimately despise 30 Rock in a way I don't more mediocre sitcoms that don't try as hard.

No, I like actual comedians and funny jokes and memorable characters with zany dialogue that doesn't try at all to make some kind of commentary (unless Tina Fey farting into blankets is some kind of veiled comment on the vapidity of our consumeristic lives, which then went over my head), which is what 30 Rock gave me. I guess we watched 2 different shows, or have a very different sense of humour. :/

It's not zany it's just affected.

Tom's singing on The Boondocks is pretty much the best voice acting of all time. The way he fails to hit epic crescendos that he's clearly nailing in his head...genius.

Hate the protagonist from Squid Game.....
