Baldwin's Donaghy even bests Steve Carrell's Michael Scott from The Office, making him the funniest boss on NBC. Baldwin leads an ensemble cast that complements The Office and allows NBC's Thursday night line-up (featuring both shows) to regain the luster it lost when Seinfeld ended.
The Extras
If there is one disappointment on the 30 Rock DVD set, it's the extras. The deleted scenes should have been deleted. The 10-second Internet sitcom isn't funny out of context. The country bumpkin NBC page who, out of love for television, works the desk at TGS has uninspired moment after uninspired moment on his fake late-night talk show. He's funnier than the extras let on. For longtime fans of the show, it's better to simply indulge in rewatching the season than sitting through unfunny extras from one of the funniest shows on TV.

I never gave this show a chance during its regular run, but my sister has it on DVD and I've become hooked. It started with me dropping by when she was watching it and thus I watched a bit, then a bit more and before I knew it I had sat through 4 shows.
Alec Baldwin is a marvel, and Tina Fey really puts it together well. I'm not really sold on the outrageousness of Tracy, but I really like the rest of the characters.

are you serious, some of the extras are great, always lover bloopers, seeing people you love (characters) naturally laughing and enjoying themselves.
also one deleted seen, where Tracy is imparting some advice to Kenneth about forbidden love is hilarious
