Happily, there are plenty of Special Features on the three-disc set. The deleted scenes are all fully finished and up-to-par with anything you see in the episodes, and the beloved blooper reel is lengthier than usual. And instead of getting the typical making-of featurettes, which play like extended advertisements, we're given about twenty minutes of some of the supporting actors taking us around the set. Since they're mostly unrehearsed, they're a lot more fun than the typical "this show is fun" platitudes. (Try squeezing a spot-on impression of a cross between Woody Allen and Adam Sandler into a normal making-of.)

There are a number of audio commentaries, although listening to them can be a bit awkward; there are long stretches of silence, and commentators like Morgan and Baldwin frequently sound like they can't think of anything to say.

Fey's commentary is pretty good, although as far as I can remember she never mentions how her friend and fellow SNL vet Rachel Dratch was replaced by Krakowski in the Jenna role before the pilot aired because the NBC suits didn't like her enough. It would have been interesting to hear the dirt on that whole situation. (As a consolation to Dratch, there's a running joke involving Dratch appearing in a number of episodes as a different character each time – everything from a prostitute to the Blue Man, a terrifying figment of Tracy's imagination.)

Finally, there's a series of "An Evening with Kenneth" shorts – the concept being that late at night, Kenneth the Page pretends he's hosting his own talk show and invites cast members on as guests. Like 30 Rock itself, the "episodes" are weird, random, and really funny.
