Rural Juror

NBC's 30 Rock is a show that keeps getting better. The first episode or two were not terribly funny and it looked like the show would not make it too far but for those who have stuck with it through or even discovered it mid-season know that the show has found itself. At first Tina Fey was too awkward, Tracy Morgan was too silly and Alec Baldwin was too slimy. None of them were great and it was sort of a struggle to like or enjoy them. Now though, all of the characters have been developed into more solid personalities whose actions and words make sense. Tina is still awkward but also has a purpose, Tracy is sill but now it is understood that he is a smart and crazy guy as well and Alec is slimy but he is so funny too just as he is in hosting SNL! Jane Krakowski and an excellent supporting cast also deserve mention. It is a pleasure to see her back on the small screen after her Ally McBeal days.
I'm relieved that this show found its stride. If you haven't tuned it, it isn't too late to catch it...Thursdays on NBC. Tina Fey is definitely missed on SNL but it is refreshing to see her in a role that is perfect (of course, she did write it) and to see a show that pokes fun at sketch comedy which most of the cast knows all too well from their days at SNL either as writers, actors or both. It is sort of the lightweight counterpart to Studio 60.
What does the subject line mean? It is the name of the movie Krakowski's character is starring in. "The Rural Juror" is difficult to say and the punchline a few times on a recent episode. Try to say it. Not a title I'd choose for a film!
Happy TV watching.
