@drees14 Sadly, yes. in fact, there are only 2 episodes left now :( :(
Is this the last season? :(
Ok this is one of the few shows that actually got me laughing out loud the past year or so ( apart from the league ), really good stuff!
this show is amazingly funny. i didn't find season 1 all that great but i'm very glad i kept watching. the writers do a great job almost every episode.
@TomF the Liz Lemon character is the one that kept me watching the show at the start. She's hilarious. And I love the play between Jack and her. @az25 is right though, Tracy gets a bit more bearable as the series goes on. I'm not a fan of his character either.
@az25 Yeah, I'm almost done with the first season. I must admit that it's a show that grows on you. I don't think it's great yet, but for some reason I'm starting to enjoy it now. Tracy is a bit annoying and not funny, I hope you're right about that. I love Liz Lemon though, such a likeable character!
@TomF I assume you started in season one. It gets better. Tina Fey (and the rest of the room) are really good writers. But then again, like I wrote below, if you don't like what they do (try and ignore Tracy early on, he gets better too), then you probably won't like it. But, especially the last season, this show has become progressively funnier and better.
@Gaia nice!
I've just recently started watching this series, and have to say it's quite good. There's been a couple meh episodes but otherwise it's been a strong series, IMO.
Started watching this, but it's really mediocre if you ask me. And judging from the ratings, even the people who follow this think it's not great? I mean, look at the individual ratings for the episodes, almost all are relatively low.
