30 Rock is still funny and worthy of watching, but I have become a little disillusioned with it lately. I feel like they have painted themselves in a corner with a lot of the jokes. While Tracy is so random he will always be funny, other characters are just way too one-dimensional.
I am particularly sick of the Liz food jokes. Taking plates out of her bathroom? I can laugh at that in the 1st episode of the season but as it wears on, I get sick of those jokes. They have admitted to her eating in the bathroom, in her sleep, in her bed, everywhere but the kitchen, really. Where else do they go? Is she going to eat in the grave? Cus that's the only thing left!
You said "RIP The Office" and though they have been a bit hit or miss lately, I give them way more proprs than 30 Rock. They are not afraid to take risks, to put the characters out of their comfort zones and shake things up, unlike 30 Rock, where none of the characters have had any growth or stretching. After five seasons, 30 Rock needs some new material. Still funny, but not nearly as much as it used to be.
