Can anyone recall where Comedy Central got to with 30 Rock (season and episode).
I am pretty fed up waiting for it to return, surely they could sacrifice a Friends or 2 and a Half Men repeat to show this instead?

So because you don't like it, you assume it got poor ratings?
Ok .. :rolleyes:
Anyway, OP, I think they stopped at episode 10 of Season 6. They've done this for the past few years and it's infinitely annoying.
The ratings on Comedy Central have been more than enough for them to continue showing it, but then if they don't resume Season 6 soon, I'll just download it.
Thanks Jason, looks like I will have to resort to, ahem, alternative methods of watching the rest of the season.....
And the new one too!!:D
The first season was a bit shit, but from season 2 things started to take off. Tina Fey has suggested the only reason the show made it to air and was renewed for season 2 is because Alec Baldwin was involved. Since then NBC hasn't done too well, and critical acclaim have helped keep it alive. Thankfully, the show is ending by agreement between NBC and it's producers, so will be given a proper send off like it deserves.
Tina Fey has already signed a development deal with NBCUni and I'm looking forward to whatever she does next...
So you'll be joining me on the flight to the states then to purchase it legally on DVD then huh ? *cough*
LOL.....yeah, that's how we will do it!;)
They are too late, I have erm, watched it already.:D
I've just finished the final season. Was not let down at all. They did an awesome job.
I'm not surprised really, they seemed to do everything they could to make people not watch it on the channel.
I gave up on it when they kept changing the day and time almost weekly and then decided to take it off halfway through a season as "America were having a break", despite the fact the channel was actually a season behind the US.
At least the DVD will be out quicker without a UK broadcaster holding it up.
They’ve got to make room for all those Friends and Two and a Half Men repeats somewhere.
Ah well, at least it's official now then. Off to the States I go to buy it legally on DVD .. *cough*
Oh, FFS!
Comedy Central (or Paramount) used to be great, showing many different comedies. Now they focus on one or two and just flog them to death,
How many times will people watch the same old episodes of Friends and Two and a Half Men before giving up? I don't find either of those shows that good either - B grade comedy in my opinion. Do they even show Frasier any more? They had Seinfeld years ago but never used it properly either. Now that 30 Rock is gone, I have no reason to ever use the channel again.
Comedy Central as a channel is a failure. If they wanted they could pick up some new sitcoms and really reboot the channel as the UK home of comedy but it seems that that their taste in comedy is piss poor going on what they choose to purchase and air and all the sitcoms they haven't bothered getting
Where did you hear this about The Office? I've searched everywhere and i can't find word of it. But i can find plenty of stuff about them ditching 30 Rock.
1. The UK audience has very little appetite for these shows - the ratings have been atrocious and remember that they've already been shown, and rejected by, other channels before CC picked them up.
2. The dedicated fans (like myself) will have already seen them through 'other' methods.
I don't really blame CC - as a commercial channel why would they pay for new episodes of these shows if repeats of other shows will perform better for them? They've given these shows a fair go and they sadly don't work.
I think it says a lot more about the average UK viewer than it does about Comedy Central.
I just fear that The Daily Show will inevitably go the same way very soon....
