I find her hysterical. And I accidentally discovered a series on Netflix named "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" created by Tina Fey. It has her brand of humor all over it including characters you will recognize.

I think her and Amy Poehler are extremely funny especially when working together.

If this new show wasn't written by the 30 Rock writers, than it's a perfect copy.

Check out the other new shows you can find on Netflix. click here

Netflix is a game changer that is so inexpensive it is suspicious to me. [i can't help it]

I can't believe NBC turned this show down and Netflix picked it up.

"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is 30 Rock but not a spin-off that doesn't quite work.

Ever since she put Sarah Palin down, I haven't liked her.

Without getting into politics, Sarah Palin actually appeared on SNL with Tina Fey in costume. I actually liked Tina even more after she did SP.

I forgot about the whole Sarah Paliin thing.

Maybe I should have asked if anyone liked 30 Rock. It was a very popular comedy series from 2007 to 2013. Through its run, 30 Rock was nominated for 145 different awards, winning 39

This show is a lot like 30 Rock.

Tina Fey didn't "put Sarah Palin down." Palin's lack of intellect spoke for itself.

It was satire. And any publicity is good publicity for someone who is looking to further their career and eventually move on to reality tv.

Saturday Night Live has always made fun of all well known people. It's satire. I've always wondered how many people on TOTV remember or read National Lampoon Magazine.

This brings up and interesting point. Does anyone else feel conflicted about certain artists because of their political leanings?

I think we can discuss this without it turning into a political thread.

What I am talking about is, say you are tend to be very conservative in your political views and there is an actor that you really enjoy. Then that actor becomes very involve politically supporting liberal causes and candidates. Or, vice versa. You happen to be very liberal, but a certain musician that you appreciate becomes very vocal supporting the conservative point of view.

Does this affect your ability to sit back and enjoy that person's work?

In my case, their are some actors that have been so vocal and so out front with their politics that even though I enjoy what they do on the screen or stage, the first thing that comes to mind when I see them is their political views.

Do you think that artists hurt themselves by being very outspoken on politics?

I wasn't talking about the comedy skits by Tina Fey on Sarah Palin. I actually thought those were funny because she looks so much like her. I saw an interview with Tina Fey where she said (with great disgust) that she was afraid she was going to have to portray this woman for years to come if she won. And I'm paraphrasing what she actually said. Whether you like Sarah Palin or not, disrespect is just not pretty.
