The rise of 30 Rock

That's how I feel. Everyone keeps telling me it's phenomenal and brilliant, but when I've watched it I haven't anything funny.

You've heard of the old saying that in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king? Well in the land of witless shit comedies, the self-referential sporadically clever is king. In a market with a fair number of intelligent witty comedies (say Britain) the show would probably sink like Jeff Zucker's job security. And yes, if you don't like comedic overacting, 30 Rock is almost as fun as gouging yourself in the arm while ingesting poison.
Incidentally, for all you Steven Coogan fans, Saxondale is apparently getting adapted by NBC. Heh.
KvP:
What british show isn't these days? They've got Prime Suspect and Wire in the Blood in the pipeline, and about a decade ago they fucked up Cracker for a season.
pilsner:
Ah, but were the stars of those shows accused by Courtney Love of giving Owen Wilson the drugs that brought him to suicide?
I think not.
Good day sir.
I say good day.

It's not like someone is forcing you/me to watch one of them, so we've got to choose the least crap one. Couldn't you just not watch any of them and do something else you actually enjoy?
