Possibly the best show on TV.
This show is amazing! The amazing Tina Fey stars as Liz Lemon possibly the best female character on TV right now. Everyone does amazing jobs acting here especially Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey, their characters are incredible. My mom lets me watch it and watches it with me because she isn't a TV Nazi who cancels her cable because she doesn't like a reference in one TV show. Guess what-- Your kids use that term at school! I bet you they do. They have product placement but they openly talk about it and joke about it.

Best Show On Television
This is by far my favorite show. Anybody who insults it is dead wrong. The vulgarity is delivered in a clever and AWESOME way. And even if you find it offensive... LEARN HOW TO TAKE A JOKE! Don't you think that if this show was not brilliant then it would have been taken off the air? Let alone win multiple awards! If you honestly do not find this show funny then there is most likely something wrong with you that you should probably get checked out by a doctor. If Tina Fey was here she'd tell you something clever to make you deeply loath whatever stupid and equally wrong thing you had uttered about the show, and Alec Baldwin would be here to personally slap you in the face with HIS VERY OWN movie star face (your face wasn't a movie star face, and even if it was I promise it won't be when he's done with it!). That's right. A person can now slap you in the face, with his very own face. BEST SHOW EVER.

30 Rock Rocks
This is a deleiriously funny show! Bordering the humor is the mild language and coarse and obvious references to sex only emphasizing how funny it is. In general, this is an eccentric piece of TV for preteen and teen audiences.

Great show! At times, should be rated TV-MA
The show itself is a work of unbelieveable talent. At times the show is just laugh out loud funny. There really isn't anything bad about it. But on another show it could have horrible language, refrences to sexually, including se* itself. Great show... be ready with the mute button when kids are watching.

anti-feministic reviewing
Personally I think that the way the "What parents need to know" section of this review is extremely convoluted. I think the fact that the word "vagina" is listed as a "sexual term" is despicable! I'm sorry, but why is a BODY PART listed as something that parents might not want their kids hearing? Honestly, I find that incredibly offensive, more offensive than anyone should feel if they were hearing that word in this TV show.

Great for Older Teens and Adults, But Not A Tween/Teen Show
I LOVE THIS SERIES. Liz Lemon is me grown up, trying to be graceful even though she's hopelessly flawed. All the characters have funny lines, but they say it with such normalcy, you can't help but burst out laughing! Many of the plots are "Seinfeld-Styled," That is, they don't really move the series along, but they're great for laughs and are very unique. The puns in this show are off-the-wall hilarious! The kind and generous page, Kevin, is a wonderful, selfless example of a hard worker, not aiming for money or credit, but to serve his boss. BUT HERE"S THE DEAL: Sexual Innuendos are mentioned at least once every ten minutes, depending on the show. Language is not used as frequently, but it is still present. An overflow of product placement, with constant mentioning of brands and brand names. Tracy is constantly talking about porn, and Jenna tends to be a diva, focused on nothing but HER career. Overall, this is a funny show, but I would NOT reccomend it to anyone under 14.

Good for pre-teens/teens
This show is great, you just have to know when it's time to let your kids watch it. My parents have let my seven and eight year old siblings watch it, and I think that was a mistake. My parents were lucky, the few innapropriate parts flew over the young ones' heads. But there is bad stuff in it. The most innapropriate episode I've seen is Reaganing, where the actual plot was bad for kids. The one thing I think parents need to understand is that usually, if your child understands that the bad stuff was written for laughs and is bad in real life, they're fine.

Hooray for 30 Rock and long live Kenneth!!
I love 30 Rock! It can be very inappropriate, but it's mostly talk that will go over a kid's head. Any product placement is used for laughs. Like someone said, "Lets go to Walmart! Can we have our money now?"

Role Models
I love this show, but really no character on the show is a good role model. All of them except for Kenneth and sometimes Liz will do anything for what they want and will do bad things in order to get that.

Lots of Sex Talk, along with Hilarity
Because this is from Tina Fey who did SNL, this is bound to have a lot of iffy content. This is not as iffy as SNL, but there are a ton of sexual references. This is a great one to check out.

The content is just to over the top for kids.
This show is definitly not for kids. I watched it at my friend's house once, though. It's funny, but it contains some s*xual/l*sbian themes and l*sbian kissing.
