What BollyAI Thinks

Season 5 continued 30 Rock's reliable run with a cast now so attuned to the show's rhythms that even its lesser episodes had stronger floor quality than most comedies' best weeks. A second live episode gave the show another formal highlight. Critics by this point treated the series with the affectionate respect reserved for a known quantity - still very good, no longer surprising. Liz Lemon's romantic arc progressed in ways that gave Fey more emotional material than the earlier seasons allowed.
