It's got potential, sure, and Alec Baldwin is solid as always and Tracy Morgan is in "Astronaut Jones" form. Jane Krakowski adds relatively nothing and looks weird on close-ups. Rachel Dratch is misused in a bit "wacky" role, but everyone's going to say that given the circumstances.
But the most disappointing thing about it may be Tina Fey - charming, hilarious Tina Fey - as this episode suggests that she might not be great as, you know, "an actor." Although maybe it's just hard to see know-it-all "Weekend Update" Tina Fey try to be "earnest and sometimes unsure of herself" television writer Tina Fey. Or whatever her
character's name is, I dunno.
Anyway, it's a pilot, and it mostly just sets up the plot, so it very well might got a lot better. Judging by the picture seen here, it should at least win an award for "most inappropriately cheesy promotional photo."
And it's been said like, a lot, but, yes, it really is weird that there are two shows with the exact same premise on simultaneously. Let's get over it starting...now.
