... NBC is also trying to capitalize on the pre-hype surrounding Tina Fey’s Baby Mama, which she stars in and is releasing soon. Now that 30 Rock is on AFTER The Office, hopefully more people stick around to watch it.

Published 4/28/2008 by Mike at Pop Critics

I was hoping for a bit more from Fey, although blame for some lackluster performances could be placed on the first time director, Michael McCuller.
