April 10, 2008 is day we won’t forget for a long time. For it’s the day the best show on television, 30 Rock, finally returns to the air after the writers strike. Here are the top 5 reasons we are barely able to wait to see new episodes of the show…
5. Grizz and Dot Com: I mean, their names are Grizz and Dot Com. Just hearing people call them that is funny.
4. The (Fictitious) Writer’s Room: The shenanigans (yes, this word is back thanks to Juno) that take place each week in that room are great. The one-line zingers thrown around by Toofer, Josh, and Frank are smart and super funny.
3. The Actual Writing: There hasn’t been tv comedy writing this good since Arrested Develepment. Sharp, witty, and surprising each and every week–this is the level to which all other shows should aspire.
2. The Two Terrific T’s, Tracy and Tina: Morgan plays crazy better than anyone. And Fey plays the smart-but-in-crisis-mode-30-something woman to perfection. PERFECTION.
1. Alec Baldwin: As many before have written, this is the role of a lifetime for this seasoned actor. His delivery, his expressions, his every single nuance as Jack Donaghy is just brilliant. Watching him interact with the also crazy-talented Tina Fey is just the frosting on the cake.
Stumble It!

I absolutely love this show too - how hilarious was Kenneth’s b-day party…the cupcake invites were the best. I also loved the one when Liz applied for the apartment…could not get more funny than the drunk dialing!
