Good to have the gang back. Some of the blatant NBC advertising worked from a comedy standpoint, some didn't.
Some of the scenes were funny, others weren't.
Overall I enjoyed it though.

One Time Special
surprising how many actors will sell their soul
This 30 Rock "reunion" special is a cynical marketing ploy, but I won't say there's nothing worthwhile in it. It starts decently and has some good jokes here and there. But as others note, it is mainly an ad for a new TV website, and while the plugs are just dribbled in at first, by the end it is pretty much 95% an ad.
It is heartbreaking to see all these talented, successful people willing to prostitute their respected, irreverent series for a payday. I know times are hard, but are they *that* hard for Tina Fey or Alec Baldwin? I mean, come *on!*
I do give the series credit for making something pretty cohesive within the limits of social distancing. I do not recommend bothering with it.
Shameful
It really doesn't get worse than this. If you want to do a commercial that's OK. At least make it entertaining. This is simply poor thought-out and badly acted trash. I only lasted 15 minutes before turning it off.
