The seventeenth episode in the first season of 30 Rock is more sitcom-like than previous episode, but because the plot mostly revolves around Jack, all can be forgiven. If you thought one Jack Donaghy was funny, wait until you meet the rest of the family. This episode brings together the Donaghy family for the first time and ends up with ensuing hilarity.
This episode, "The Fighting Irish," has Jack seeing his brother for the first time in seventeen years and he finds out he was taking care of his father before he died and is now broke. Meanwhile, Liz has been told she has to fire ten percent of her staff and Tracy is trying to find a church.
Overall, this is a funny episode and has some really good moments. I still can't believe how Alec Baldwin gets away with half the stuff he does on network television. But I ain't complaining. His moments with his family, including guest appearances by Molly Shannon, are the best part of this series. I rate this episode 9/10.
