I love Heather Havrilesky's column, but 30 Rock is a lame, unfunny show, and Tina Fey is a lame, unfunny heroine. I didn't like Mean Girls, either. Fey has too many agendas to really be funny. She's always trying to make an ideological point. Even her schlumpy persona on this show is geared to make an ideological point. It's dull.
Baldwin isn't good either. He's playing a tired concept, and the writing isn't snappy enough or inventive enough to find a new way to present it.
Tracy Morgan is something I would have thought him incapbable of: unfunny.
By the way, I liked Ally McBeal, at least until it fell apart in the last two seasons. I prefer agressive, funny comedy to schmaltzy "gee-aren't-I-the-unappreciated-intellectual" little-guy comedy.
