30 Rock Season 5 - not bad!

After being away for 4 months, 30 Rock is back for season 5 premiering September 23. Being the show's biggest fan myself, I can't wait for this one, especially since they have put Matt Damon in the show, I wonder what he will bring to the table. Also, Kenneth's being fired at the end of season 4 makes me a little anxious about whether my favorite character will be killed off permanently!

However, my enthusiasm kept decreasing as I was watching the show yesterday. I mean, not that it is very bad, it's just that, for some reasons, the show just did not amaze me as I expected it would. The scenes of Kenneth and Tracy were just similar to what happened in the previous seasons, simply involving hallucination and goofiness. Also, Tina's idea to make another parody of the whole Bachelor story did not really adds much "comical effect" to the show! As for Jack, maybe it's because this is season 5, but personally I start to feel a little "too familiar" with his character and his acting style!

Still, like Liz and Peter said on the show, nobody expected the show to come this far (FYI: NBC apparently had a plan to cancel the show), so I guess for them to reach season 5 is an accomplishment in itself already! As for now, I will keep my fingers cross for 30 Rock, and hope that the later episodes will get better!   

Judging from the first episode, I give a 3 out of 5 stars!
