On patrol today is Comedy Police Officer Diamond Dave filing his report on 30 Rock Channel 5 Thursdays 10:40pm:
"I have a confession to make. With the exception of the football, I've never regularly watched anything on Channel Five. Ever. As I'm not really into snakes, cannibals or massive tractors, why would I?
"Anyway, that's all changed now thanks their brilliant new American sitcom 30 Rock. Dull fact alert: it's named after the NBC building, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York. Thus, it's set in a fictional NBCTV comedy sketch show. Now admittedly, this does sound remarkably similar to Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. However, 30 Rock is every bit as unpretentiously laugh-out-loud funny as Studio 60 was self-satisfied and tedious.
"It's written by former Saturday Night Live head writer Tina Fey, who also plays the lead character, Liz Lemon. The main draw though is undoubtedly Alec Baldwin as her spivvy boss, Jack Donaghy. Baldwin is surprisingly likeable as the corporate slimeball and genuinely funny with it.
"The writing's razor sharp in the very best US sitcom tradition and the one-liners come frequently and from many angles. For instance, from the fictional TGS show's unhinged African-American star Tracy Jordan: "Affirmative action was designed to keep women and minorities in competition with each other to distract us while white dudes inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets."
"So, what have we learned from this? Well, it turns out that BBC2 were right, Thursday's ARE funny. Providing you watch anything other than BBC2. And especially if you watch Channel Five. Now I never thought I would ever say that."
