Every season needs a good new comedy. I think NBC found it with Tina Fay’s new SNL-like comedy 30 Rock. I’m not the biggest fan of Fay’s character, but I trust her writing to know that the character will evolve quickly. Tracy Morgan is laugh-out-loud funny (”I AM A JEDI!”) and Alec Baldwin’s bumbling network executive is just a classic character.

I much prefer Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and I would obviously choose that if I could only keep one, but I will watch both (and hopefully they both make it a full season, Studio 60 isn’t getting amazing ratings) One thing to remember is that they are indeed two different types of shows, drama and comedy, centralized around one idea (a sketch comedy show.) I’m a fan.
