I love the NBC comedy series "30 Rock". Why? Because it's probably the best written and most underrated show on television today. The writing is clever and the humor is fresh. It has a healthy dose of political humor, but not so much that it becomes preachy. It's a difficult feat to find that line and not cross it. A lot of shows today step over it, some practically long jump over it (I'm looking at you, Family Guy). But 30 Rock finds a perfect balance. The main character, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) is implied to be a Democrat, or at least left-leaning. But to counter it, the other main character, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), is a staunch Republican. Sure, the character could be considered a mockery of corporate conservatives, but the character is just so awesome and likable. But the show doesn't rely on political humor and when it does make use of it, it doesn't get preachy. That's what's great about it. Watch it sometime. I swear it's one of the funniest shows on television.
