"Everyone you know" is not as large a sample size as you might think. And 30 Rock, unwatchable? It's one of the most critically acclaimed comedies on TV of the past decade. Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon hardly try to be outrageous, either, though I get that their style is similar.

Agreed. Hearing him call Texas "Nazi Germany" is my first memory of SNL. I still cherish it.

Critics can suck my ass. If they think 30 Rock is funny then they're not worthy of human consideration and should be forcibly euthanized.

And I didn't say Jimmy and Tina tried to be outrageous, I said they try to look ironic. That expression on Tina Fey's face and that self-consciously ironic way she delivers a punchline make me shake with loathing.

And let's not forget Tracy Morgan. His only redeeming quality was the thirty seconds max that he'd do occasionally on Martin. Any longer and he just becomes annoying.

norm = over rated. hes one of those guys ppl laugh at somewhat forced and uncomfortably cause ppl now hes supposed to be funny and they should laugh. been that way for 20 yrs. he was kinda funny back in his hey day but always a little over rated. his style gets really old for me and i dont find him real clever. how anyone can listen to him say 'ya know' 1000 times thru a set baffles me


tracy morgan has never been funny


i dont watch 30 rock

I watch 30 rock occassionally. I find it funny. I don't like Macdonald or Fallon in the slightest. I love Tina Fey and WOULD in a heartbeat.

30 Rock would have been cancelled after 3 episodes if it even lasted that long.


Also critical praise isn't even enough to save a show. So regardless of his opinion there were many other people that found it funny enough and gave it decent ratings.

True. Same could be said for a lot of (IMO) horribly unfunny shows.

I have no idea why Two and a Half Men is such a ratings monster but that show is so ****ing awful.
