30 Rock Review: "Retreat to Move Forward" (Episode 309)
As a general rule, flashbacks on 30 Rock are nearly always hilarious. Case in point: the biggest laugh to be found in "Retreat to Move Forward" was the flashback to Liz and Jenna's improv comedy days when the audience would shout out Sling Blade and Oprah as suggestions for characters for the two. Liz gamely launched into a Sling Blade impression, but poor clueless Jenna thought she did Oprah.... read more

Fresh off Golden Globe wins for Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin and best comedy series, 30 Rock kicked off the new year with two of its funniest episodes of the this young third season. The third season has been a bit up and down, but after watching The Office spin its wheels this season and go nowhere, I've realized 30 Rock is still in peak form, and how lucky we are to still have it on TV.... read more

The third season of 30 Rock has proven to be a bit erratic. While the show has always relied on its lightning-quick jokes and asides, its relying on them a bit too heavily this season to the point where the main story of the episodes are often the least interesting part of the episode.... read more

The past two episodes of 30 Rock represent what happens when the show perfectly integrates a big-name guest star and also when it doesn't quite work. The show's no stranger to big names, having had Oprah, Jerry Seinfeld and Will Arnett in the past. The star wattage has never been distracting, either, and almost always advances the plot in an amusing fashion.... read more
