30 Rock: Season 4

30 Rock: Season Four
This has been one of my favorite shows on television thanks to the creative writing, twisted humor and unique characters featured.Season four keeps on chugging along with plenty to laugh about or at. Hats off to actors Jack McBrayer, Tracy Morgan and the rest of the cast for making this entertaining to watch. Season four features guest stars like James Franco, Matt Damon, Julianne Moore and Michael Sheen, to name a few, that adds to each episode.Q: Why would you buy this season?A: If you enjoy the show and collect the series that would be one reason. Season four was pretty nicely done and has come a long way since the first season and that is no deal breaker. Michael Sheen? Yes, I had no idea that was him in Tron: Legacy - brilliant. If you love that twisted humor then it is still there and has not slowed down. There is no need for me to go into details on each episode, so if you are familiar with this season and the show then enjoy.I am not going to debate which is the best season, but if you enjoyed several of the episodes from this season ... go for it with extreme prejudice. I enjoyed this season more than enough to purchase it and enjoy every episode and I have no problem watching it again and again.

Best TV!
This is the first "TV on DVD" show I ever bought. I already have seasons 1-3 and will buy the rest because it's that good. It's been over two years since the end of the show and I'm still discovering new jokes to laugh at. Most sitcoms get old quickly with its joke/punchline setup. Not 30 Rock. It's jokes within jokes within jokes. Sometimes in the same line.All hail the great and powerful Tina Fey! She wrote the heck out of the this! This can never be overstated.The only flaw, minor in my opinion, is that over more time it'll seem dated with its references to Tom Delay and takeovers by Comcast (in the show it's Kabletown, with a "K", as Jack explains).Overall, if you're looking for a little more intelligence in your TV comedies and/or have been curious about how the entertainment industry works, "30 Rock" is it.

Not with a bang, but a whimper
30 Rock has been one of my favorite shows on television since I first saw a few preview episodes of Season 1 on United flights. The show deftly mixes erudite references with absurdest humor using some of the sharpest writing on TV today.But not in this episode.Like many sitcoms, 30 Rock tends to have three or four different plot threads in any given episode, and in the past two or three have been hilarious with one or two falling flat. The problem with Season Four, the all two cleverly named premiere for Season Four, is that none of the threads hit. Kenneth's radical turn as a rabble-rousing union leader seemed to be the most unlikely of the three. The writers mean for us to believe that a guy who is awed by the magic of television (after he's seen the way sausage is made) and who relished the job of rubbing Tracy's snake until it pooped suddenly finds his inner-Bill Kunstler because Jack gets paid so much? I'm not buying it. Tracy's attempt to meet real people begins with a few good gags, but then it falls flat when the writers seem to run out of ideas.The worst of all the plot threads is the incredibly lazy and hackneyed idea of Pete and Liz miserably failing in their attempt to keep the fact that they're looking for another actor a secret from the staff. 30 Rock works best when they take sitcom cliches, rip them down to their foundations and build something brilliantly fresh from the parts (Funcooker, anyone?).In this episode it seems they don't even try. What would have been an opportunity for wry humor in the past end up being lame throw away lines like, "I'll give you a New York minute, which is seven seconds." Even Steve Buchemi's recurring cameo as the PI Len is wasted with threadbare exchanges that are hampered with too many non-sequiters.Here's hoping this week's episode is better.

Hilarious
This show is the 2nd funniest on TV (behind only Modern Family, in my opinion). By the time it reached the 4th season, 30 Rock had become more hit and miss than it was in previous years. The laugh quotient of certain episodes is lower than others, but there is never a "bad" episode.The 4th season DVD set, much like the previous seasons, does not disappoint. There are plenty of bonus features (I especially enjoy the commentaries done by Jack McBrayer & Jane Krakowski and Tina Fey). I only wish they would include some bloopers.

Just gets better and better and funnier and funnier
What can you say, it's 30 Rock, one of the best comedy TV series to ever be on TV, series 1-3 was great, then each series afterwards just gets better and better. If you have never seen 30 Rock, you are missing a real treat. You will split your sides laughing, no wonder it has won so many awards !

Hilarious Series!
I did not fall in love with 30 Rock until the last season. However, I enjoy the streaming videos. I went to Best Buy to purchase the full set, however, they only had one season. I am glad that Amazon had EVERY SINGLE SEASON!! I wasted no time in purchasing the full season through Amazon. Excellent series, excellent product, excellent transaction!!Thank you!

I was renting these from Netflix....
But this series is so much fun to watch that I've already bought seasons 4-7 and will buy 1-3 this week. I had the same experience with It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and have already bought all the available seasons in that series as well! Awesome value for what you get if you know you will watch these shows more than once!

4th season is just as amazing as the previous seasons!
I won't give any spoilers away, but after watching this season, I was just as pleased and completely satisfied with this season compared with the previous seasons. If you've stopped watching 30 Rock at season 3, then you are definitely missing out. 30 Rock is a show that keeps it consistent week in and week out. I honestly can't think of an episode that was not satisfying.

une découverte
J'aime de plus en plus cette série, d'ailleurs j'ai commandé toutes les saisons après l'avoir "essayée". Des sujets légers et des gens qui ne se prennent pas trop la tête, c'est sympa et divertissant.

J'adore
J'adore cette série et je me lasse pas de voir et revoir tous les épisodes. A chaque fois qu'une saison sort je recommence tout à zéro. J'ai vraiment hâte que la saison 5 sorte pour que je puisse prendre l'excuse de revoir les anciens épisodes.
