I feel like 30 Rock has really hit its stride this season. Liz and Jack’s relationship has gelled, Jack gets a serious love interest who is his complete opposite, and the ongoing hilarity of what the rest of the ensemble cast is up to never fails to amuse.

There are some amazing cameos and guest appearances, as usual. Carrie Fisher has a great role as an aging writer, Al Gore pops up around the same time David Schwimmer is losing his self-righteous mind, and Jerry Seinfeld is there to mock his past success. The show also touches on current events – national security, the war in Iraq, global warming – but only to be funny, not preachy.

Originally, 22 episodes were ordered for the season, but because of the writers’ strike, only 10 were produced. More were ordered and produced once the strike was over, but it still won’t turn out to be a full season.

There are no new episodes until April 10th! It’s killing me.
