During their respective premiere weeks, Studio 60 was nearly pitch-perfect and totally pulse-pounding, while 30 Rock felt contrived and undercooked.

Within two weeks, Studio 60 became insufferable and lost all dramatic interest. And 30 Rock found its voice and became the New York-comedy scene cousin to The Office: snarky, fast, wry. I hope it sticks around. (Studio 60 can go jump off a cliff for all I care.)

Did you see Tina Fey on The Daily Show this week? She looked great, but the whole interview felt like a desperate bid to get people to watch. (Jon Stewart sounded like he'd been coached on how many times to plug 30R's new airtime.) The ratings are heartbreaking, 'cuz the show's finally hitting its stride. Hopefully the move to Thursday and pair-up with The Office will give it the boost it needs.

I wish Rachel Dratch was on the show more often--and I sometimes worry that Tracy Morgan's job consists solely of showing up, saying something nutty, and leaving--but it's really funny.

I started watching the show last week and it's been a pleasant surprise. Alec Baldwin's on point.
