If NBC’s “30 Rock” is so funny, why don’t more people watch it?

It’s a question that seems to gnaw on the mind of creator, writer and star Tina Fey.

I often wonder if a show with the same caliber of cast and writing, but set in a different, non-show business workplace, would get the same kind of accolades from the press and Hollywood that "30 Rock" does. I'm gonna guess "no." I doubt if a similar show that took place at a Wal-Mart or a warehouse were to air, it would be fawned over quite like this program is.

I refuse to watch anything with Tina Fey in it. She's overrated. Besides, in today's economic climate I have more things to worry about than watch this bozo tv show.

After what she did to Sarah Palin, I hope everything she does fails.

I've watched it a few times. It has never made me laugh.

The slanted politics of Fey and Baldwin have led me to not watch much of anything they do. I got tired of the constant Palin and Republican bashing that never constitutes 'hate speech' for liberals, but is hateful if uttered by conservatives. Fey doesn't realize how much damage she did to her reputation by bashing Palin. She lost my viewership and I know a lot of other folks who feel the same. The lesson is, shut up and act. Stop being political - we don't care about your views, nor do we pay you for them. Hopefully it'll get cancelled.

Couldn't you find a more interesting way to push your agenda than printing jokes from a sitcom in an out-of-context TV review? Is reading second hand scenes of dialogue really attracting viewers to this overrated snoozefest?
