Yeppers, I have officially caught up on 30 Rock and I'm 99% sure that season one is my favorite. Never has the first season of a comedy show been my favorite (Twin Peaks' season one is what makes me specify genres).
Alec Baldwin was on fire the entire season, I love that the writer's on the show got so much air time, that such a sweet Star Wars reference was made (Captain Needa) and that Tina Fey knocked it out of the park so early in the first inning of prime time television with her writing & acting.
Also big kudos for getting me to laugh super hard when 1) Alec was unsure how to walk while on camera 2) Tina yelling at the writer's via a speech from Designing Women and 3) Alec having to tell his mother how to properly pronounce the name of his ex-wife: "It's not 'Bianca' like 'Sanka,' it's 'Bianca' like 'Willy Wonka!'." <--- I needed those laughs.
Again, I know I'm tardy to the party (I can say that if I want!) but it's just so darn exciting to have a strong premiere season that stands the test of time against the latter four seasons. No, not the group -- although it is quite safe to say that any episode of 30 Rock is way more exciting than any bar of Sherry.
This big girl cries,
Adam.
PS: Yes, I said "darn" earlier -- deal with it!
