5.0 out of 5 stars 30 Rock - Season 6 DVD - Full list of Extras August 31, 2012
Format:DVD
Since the NBC Press Release was very vague about the extras on this Season 6 DVD Set, I just wanted to quickly write them down for you. Included is:

- Audiocomentary on "Dance Like Nobody's Watching" by writer Tracey Wigfield and writer/producer Tom Ceraulo
- Audiocomentary on "Alexis Goodlooking and the case of the Missing Whisky" by Judah Friedlander
- Audiocomentary on "Standards and Practices" by Jack McBrayer
- Audiocomentary on "Live from Studio 6H" by Jane Krakowski and composer/producer Jeff Richmond
- West Coast Version of the Live Show (23:23 min)
- Behind the Scenes of "Live from Studio 6H" (7:24 min)
- Warm up Featurette before the Live Show (8:42 min)
- Deleted Scenes

As you can see they have cut down the number of Audiocomentaries immensely, as there used to be up to 10 per Season Set. And again there is no gag reel, which is something I would so love to see from a show like this. Also, I wished there were more interviews with cast and crew.

Overall this was a great season. It amazes me how this show manages to stay fresh after 6 years. Nothing feels worn out, actually to the contrary they manage to bring in new elements and going back to some of the core storylines of the show. I loved the addition of James Marsden as Liz's new boyfriend Criss. The writers managed to create a loveable character and actually used him in a good way throughout the Season, giving Liz and Criss a possible happy ending for the upcoming final and seventh season. I also loved this years Live Episode and Queen of Jordan Episode. I also need to mention Jenna, for whom the writers really stepped up their, already high, game. Her remarks and storylines were really a highlight of the Season for me, especially in the beginning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, Hazel September 15, 2012
By D
Format:DVD
...I love her! It's always a risk for a show to add a new character after so long, but in this case it worked...her particular brand of crazy is somewhat similar to Jenna's, but still worthwhile and good for many laughs. And it's not just her that I love; the show is fresher and funnier than it's been in at least a couple years. Maybe not quite perfectly consistent, but its best episodes kept me laughing hysterically from beginning to end. All this, AND I get to look at cutie James Marsden? GOOD TIMES. I'm happy that 30 Rock is entering its final year, because if the show can maintain this level of writing and acting for one more season, it will be one of the few comedies to end its run before going totally stale. And I am hopeful that this will be the case, because some of the episodes in season six were every bit as good as those in the show's first couple seasons. Very funny stuff...now if Tina Fey would just write another hilarious book...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazing, witty season! October 14, 2012
Format:DVD
It never fails. I'll find a new show that I just love and it'll go flat in 2 seasons. That is not the case with 30 Rock! It has been consistently top notch every season. Season 6 is no different as it keeps you laughing. Every time I hear a Mickey Rouke joke from Jenna, I laugh out loud just thinking of all he's done to her over the years! Clever writing and wacky humor make this one of the best comedies on TV now, in my opinion. I will be sad to see it end but I do feel like its a show I can go back to every couple months.

2.0 out of 5 stars Silly show with little to offer
My favorite part of the show is Tracy Morgan, and also the skinny guy behind the desk to some extent. The other characters just do nothing for me. I find the acting style peculiar.
