The 10 Best TV Shows of 2007

BEST
1. 30 ROCK (NBC)
Tina Fey's Emmy-winning sitcom earns every guffaw with its left-brain/right-brain zigzags. It's incisive but squirrelly, satiric but joyfully goofy. In this second season, Fey feels genuine, bright, and occasionally nutty, but with enough sense to remark on her own madness. Tracy Morgan continues to perfect his blank-eyed craziness as an overindulged, posse-pampered comedian. And as purry, synergy-obsessed executive Jack Donaghy, Alec Baldwin is flawless, combining bone-deep insecurity with sky-high megalomania. Smart, playful, weird, and occasionally quite sweet, 30 Rock isn't just the best comedy on TV this year, it's simply the best TV.

This is an online-only excerpt. To read Gillian Flynn's full appreciation of 30 Rock, check out EW's special Best & Worst 2007 issue, on stands Dec. 21.
