The lauded laugher's inaugural season introduces the offbeat staffers at "The Girlie Show," a TV variety program produced at venerable Rockefeller Center in New York City. Presiding over the show is TV scribe Liz Lemon (series creator and writer Tina Fey). But trouble looms upon the arrival of brash new honcho Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), the head of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming. Jack incessantly meddles with the series, hiring edgy but wildly erratic star Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) and changing the show's name to the desperately hip "TGS With Tracy Jordan." All this exasperates Lemon and pushes the show's horrified starlet, Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski), to the sidelines. Not only does Jack creep into the writers' room and even appear as a sketch performer (only to plug products), but he referees Lemon's sour romantic life. He sets her up on a blind date (with a woman); interferes with her bumpy reunion with her boorish ex-boyfriend Dennis (Dean Winters); and intervenes as her love blooms for affable paramour Floyd (Jason Sudeikis). Love is on the horizon for Jack, too. He dates a Bush administration official; tangles with his ex-wife (Isabella Rossellini); and woos an auctioneer (Emily Mortimer). But Jack still has time for territorial warfare against his gravelly voiced archnemesis Devin Banks (Will Arnett), a Left Coast network exec who callously eyes Jack's job. Always an omnipresent figure is naive man-child Kenneth the Page (Jack McBrayer), whose misadventures include switching roles with bigwig Jack, scoring a prime spot in Tracy's posse and trying to help the pampered Tracy reach spiritual self-actualization. Alas, Kenneth's bright-eyed idealism prevails even while working for this cast of ego-fueled eccentrics.

Great show, decent dvd set

This is the best new show on TV as far as I'm concerned and the DVD set is pretty nice. There are a bunch of commentaries though unfortunately in most cases it's just one person doing the commenting. Next season I would prefer if they had 2 or 3 people per commentary, more interaction and discussion.
The blooper reel is funny but I wish there were more deleted scenes.
If I were to rate the DVD presentation I'd give it an A for picture, A+ for content, the actual shows, and a B for extras, they can do better in that regard.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Season 2 of the hit mockumentary opens with the hardly coveted Dundie Awards, the annual ceremony honoring Scranton employees in such esteemed categories as Hottest in the Office and Whitest Tennis Shoes. In a typical move, regional manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell) emcees the show and picks the winners-but doesn't pick up the tab. In other Michael developments, he spies on staffers' emails, mistakes an IT guy for a terrorist, burns his foot while cooking bacon bedside, and becomes a reluctant homeowner. He does manage to find some success in the dating department. He goes out with his likable real-estate agent Carol (played by Carell's wife Nancy Walls) and hooks up with his recently divorced no-nonsense boss Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin). The latter affair starts as a one-night stand but leads to a slightly warped (and somewhat imagined in Michael's eyes) love triangle between the three. In other office romances, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) and Angela Martin (Angela Kinsey) start a top-secret love affair, Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) crushes on Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak), and Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) continues dating Katy (Amy Adams), the "hot girl" he met in the Season 1 finale. But it's Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) whom he not-so-secretly pines for, even though she's engaged (for three years and counting) to insensitive warehouse worker Roy (David Denman). Much to Jim's dismay, Roy finds a moment of drunken clarity on Michael's ill-fated booze cruise and finally sets a date for his and Pam's wedding. Pam's thrilled at first, but then she starts thinking beyond the reception desk when a Women in the Workplace seminar inspires her to attend art school. Jim wholeheartedly encourages the idea, which is quickly shot down by Roy, planting seeds of doubt in Pam's mind about whether Roy is really the right guy for her.

The best season of the best show on TV. In addition to all the fun episodes there are commentaries that feature key cast members, are genuinely insightful and fun to listen to as well as a hilarious blooper reel.

Rising Star

I hadn't heard of Morrison before this CD but he won me over. He is a rising star, still young and developing, and has a unique voice and his song "Pieces Don't Fit Anymore" is a modern classic. If you like this type of music, bluesy singer-songwriter genre, then you should love this album. Highly recommended.

Their best effort yet
on September 9, 2007

This album is their most accomplished work yet. I didn't love every single track but 505, Fluorescent Adolescent and Brianstorm are destined for a greatest hits collection from this band some day when they are old enough to have one. The CD is worth it just for those 3 excellent songs and you get a bunch others which are pretty good as well. They may not be as hyped as they were a year ago but they've never been better.

This 14.1-megapixel digital camera features optical image stabilization, face detection technology and motion detection technology to ensure images are clear and detailed. Smart Shutter technology automatically snaps a picture when the subject smiles or winks.

Returned It
By SeriousAmateur from Florida
I returned this camera (and had to pay Best Buy a 15% restocking fee) without using it. My mistake: I bought it online, without checking it out in the store. I need to touch, feel, and examine the product. I am a senior citizen and found this camera too small for me to handle easily, even though I am rather petite with small hands. It is difficult to read the small text on the controls, even with glasses. The first instruction the manual gives is to attach to the camera the loop that goes around your wrist so you can't drop the camera. I couldn't even do that. At that point, I decided, "This is not the camera for me."

Unfair

Considering you admit the problem was at your end and not a fault of the camera, it's unfair of you to mark it down with a one star review.
