The cheesecake delivered by Tina fey was hot. The blonde character who's entire purpose was to wear skimpy clothes was smoking hot. It was for more clever than you give it credit especially for a network tv show. Remember deal or no deal was a prime time show.

It is incredibly funny from start to finish, one of the most consistent comedies ever

This show is good not because of it's comedy (which is usually decent), but because it killed SNL.

The show is only funny if you have an extensive knowledge of American pop culture. For example, the Carrie Fisher episode only makes sense if you’ve watched Star Wars and 1970s era SNL. Otherwise most of the jokes are lost. I imagine someone in 30 years will have no fucking clue why this show was so acclaimed while it was airing. It will just be a bizarre series of non-sequetors.

>>
>>219380993
You pick up the pop culture from watching these different shows and using context clues to eventually piece together the references as you’re growing up. So as an adult you know who Dennis the Menace is and “To the moon Alice!” not having ever engaged with that media’s primary source

30 Rock could not be any further from The Office and Parks and Rec as far as pacing and tone are concerned. Really the only similarity is that they’re all comedies, I mean are you proud of not knowing things? Bit twisted

that's a pretty poor example given that episode works well on its own and how famous star wars is, but you're right the show isn't as funny if you don't know a lot about mid to late aughts/early 2010s american pop culture.
>>219383070
I can't wait for them to finally bring these episodes back bringing that ridiculous panic to a close, like how community's drow episode quietly was restored to streaming last year

It's quite funny how they removed one of the best episodes because Chang cosplayed as a Drow Elf and Shirley was okay with it despite calling it out.

30 Rock is very American. I strongly suspect that it doesn’t translate well overseas due to being about the entertainment industry and American corporate culture.

Meanwhile the joke was Jenna was so ignorant she thought it was acceptable to use blackface. In 2009 we understood that, but not in 2026.

It became a visual version of the N-word. Like how you could say nigger in certain contexts, ie quoting another person or whatever. But now every context is wrong. It’s so tedious
The gravitas assigned to the word is literally the reason the Tourette’s guy shouted it

bruh lmao did you ever hear Tracy Morgan on O&A 20 years ago?
he was having a melty because he didnt know how to wipe his ass properly so he was afraid some hooker in the studio will make fun of him if he pulls his pants down. then Opie was giving him advice on how to properly wash his ass and balls.

some of these are better than the others but these are high rated sitcoms that are really not deserving of the praise they get on here, Friends is even worse but I did the above sitcoms a favor and didn't list them alongside Friends because they have their moments
>>
>>219388437
Just like anything else, there’s a big difference between watching these shows when they were currently airing versus watching them years later. For one thing, the internet, smartphones and social media were all still developing when these shows were current.

>>219388437
I will fight you on 30 rock though I'd agree on the others
thoughI really don't think entourage is highly praised anymore both in the wider world or on here. in fact if anything it's retroactively gotten a somewhat negative reputation

Friends really isn't all that good. I'd actually say it's about as bad as a sitcom can get before it becomes unwatchable. So the exact 50/50 line for the genre, imo.

>>219392881
they put all of these back and since you have comcast you can just stream them off peacock

>>219393126
Most sitcoms are unwatchable. The vast majority really are so bad you’ve never even heard of them. Friends imo is shit but I can watch an episode with my sister without blowing my brains out so that puts it in the highest tier

You might be thinking of Modern Family as the third of the 'le single camera with funny le confessional segments' trilogy of shows. 30 rocks humor is much more akin to Arrested Development in that it throws a hundred jokes per minute at you, the jokes are based on the pop culture/events of the time( Arrested Development had an entire episode where the joke was the family was all on the Atkins diet fad of the early 2000's), and a lot of the humor coming from the actors saying wildly outlandish lines with completely straight faces. I have a hard time seeing the comparison of 30 rock with shows like the office or parks and recs except for that they are all shows focused on following the characters in their work lives?
>>
30 Rock got bad towards the end. Modern Family had a longer run.
>>
shut up retard

>>219381453
I liked 30 rock and parks and rec. I hated the office, i think it was mostly because a lot of the focus was Jim and he was just mean spirited then the other jokes revolved on just being awkward

I recently started watching The Larry Sanders Show for the first time. It's older, but it's interesting to see how heavily it influenced shows like 30 Rock and Curb Your Enthusiasm. It's also fucking hilarious and really well-cast. Jeffery Tambor and Rip Torn are major standouts.
