30 Rock's fourth season has more laughs than an evening
at the Chuckle Hut, Stone ain, Georgia's premier comedy club
(when it's not harvesting the chuckle part of a pig, and no, best
not ask). Don't let the 0-15 Emmy® snub fool you. This is a
Rock-solid season with some involving story arcs, including the
search for a new TGS cast member, NBC's buyout by Kabletown, Liz
resisting her "settling soul mate," and Jack sorting out a
romantic triangle. This is also a particularly star-studded
season, with indelible turns by Michael Sheen, Julianne Moore
(sporting a wicked Boston accent), Elizabeth Banks, James Franco,
Bon Jovi, and Matt Damon. Jan Hooks, too long missing in action,
is introduced as Jenna's scheming mother. Jon Hamm, Dean Winters,
and Jason Sudeikis return as Liz's lost loves in one of the
season's best episodes, "Anna Howard Shaw Day." And only on 30
Rock will you see astronaut Buzz Aldrin taunt the moon ("Return
to the night. You have no business here.") or NBC Nightly News
anchor Brian Williams audition his comedy act. 30 Rock remains
part of TV's elite and gleefully mocks the notion it should tone
down its meta satire, smash-cut gags, and inside jokes (or as
Donaghy calls it, "lefty erotic propaganda") to appeal to a
broader audience. But after three seasons, word play that was
once dazzlingly fresh and original seemed in danger of becoming
strained and rote. When Tracy (Tracy Morgan) references Little,
Brown, he is, of course, not talking about the distinguished book
publisher, but a talent agency specializing in black dwarfs. And
when Alec Baldwin's Jack Donaghy welcomes one and all to Season
Four, he is referring to the name of New York's "No. 1
Asian-fusion restaurant." Not that the show hasn't lost its
ability to surprise and delight, as witness clips of the failed
TV series "Bitch Hunter" featuring Will Ferrell. The generous
extras include deleted scenes, extended episodes, 10 audio
commentaries that offer such inspired pairings as Alec Baldwin
and Lorne Michaels and Jack McBrayer and Jon Hamm, and the Ace of
Cakes episode in which the bakers prepare a cake for the 30 Rock
cast and crew. Somebody bring me some ham! --Donald Liebenson
