30 ROCK
''Rosemary's Baby'' Oct. 25 (NBC)
The first stroke of brilliance was having Carrie Fisher show up as Liz's (Tina Fey) heroine, a deeply political, slightly mad comedy writer. The second was putting Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) into daddy-issued Tracy Jordan's (Tracy Morgan) counseling session, where Jack role-played Tracy's entire African-American family. Jack simpered and mugged with such Good Times-inspired, white-man-cliché zeal that the whole comedic freight train threatened to go off the rails, but instead just left me delightfully rattled. — Gillian Flynn
