Episode Rankings: 30 Rock

30 Rock is one of my favorite comedies of all time. It manages to be one of the few comedies to balance quality and quantity, with each episode boasting countless jokes that almost all manage to land somehow. It's not an ambitious show but it's reliably sharp and hilarious, and ends on a fantastic note. Here's my ranking of all their episodes:

1. Last Lunch (S7.13)
2. The Funcooker (S3.14) - A Rube Goldberg machine of an episode, every line of dialogue fits perfectly like a puzzle piece
3. My Goon's Dead In A Weary World (S7.11)
4. MILF Island (S2.11)
5. Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning (S5.12)
6. Kidnapped By Danger (S6.14)
7. I Do Do (S4.22) - A parody of dramatic season finales that manages to also be a dramatic season finale in its own right? It's like this episode was made for me!
