The show has been pretty consistent in quality during the 5 seasons and if you haven't seen it, you should certainly check it out at some point. However, assuming you don't live under a rock, you probably don't need me to tell you this. Instead of a review, I'll just list some of my favorite people of 30 Rock:
Salma Hayek – a brilliant 6-episode arc where Jack tries to woo the character Elisa (played by Hayek) that includes such great moments as Jack discovering that he is hated by Elisa's grandmother because he looks like a villain on a Mexican soap opera to Eliza ultimately ending the relationship while wearing a T-shirt with the phrase "What the Frak?!"
Jon Hamm – Dr. Drew Baird, introduced as a gorgeous and successful pediatrician, ends up introducing us to the concept of the bubble: where the beautiful people live, sheltered from the challenges of the real world. Not only is Drew able to get anything he wants without trying, it turns out he's very stupid, raising some very uncomfortable questions in the minds of the audience regarding any doctors who happen to be good looking.
Dean Winters – The recurring character of Dennis Duffy, Liz's on again of again love interest, never fails to produce a laugh. He is a living embodiment of setting yourself up for failure in business, from selling out-dated pagers, to owning vending machines in inconvenient locations, yet he does it with confidence and a small. And he was able to predict that a gas leak could bring Liz back to him: ever the optimist!
Bobby Jindal – The governor of Louisiana never actually made an appearance on 30 Rock, but after Governor Jindal gave the republican response to the presidential address to congress in February of 2009, his association with the show was set in stone: he was widely compared to the character Kenneth the page and many side-by-sides can be found on YouTube to illustrate the similarities.
