30 Rock: Season 2, Episode 1 "Seinfeld Vision" (A-)
It is always fantastic when a show takes to heart the idea that its season premieres and finales should capture the best elements of the show. Last year's pilot and finale were not among the best episodes of the show, but this season opener is just terrific. The most hilarious advertising concept ever, Seinfeld Vision, sparks uncontrollable reactions to Seinfeld's actual appearance (Kenneth cannot say a word, Tracy thinks he is something else, Jack stays up all night, and Liz imitating how he talks). Jenna's weight gain is not too intrusive on the plot, and Liz's wedding dress fiasco fits in perfectly with the odd nature of this show. I really love the repeated line "this is going to be our year". Fresh off a deserved Emmy win for Best Comedy Series, the show seems to have figured out how to best utilize its characters and create a truly hilarious show. Until next week!
