## Fi1m on Tracey Wigfield

> We rate Tracey Wigfield most highly for her contribution to *30 Rock*'s sharp ensemble comedy. The gentler *The Four Seasons* has warmth in its performances, but the writing too often leaves a familiar marital complaint without a fresh joke.

In *The Four Seasons* (2025), a friendship group treats everybody's relationship as a matter for collective discussion. That is fertile ground for Tracey Wigfield, who co-created the series with Tina Fey and Lang Fisher, but the complaints are too often more familiar than funny. We were frustrated when another familiar marital complaint arrived without a fresh joke. The warmth of the performances makes this decent company, with Colman Domingo a particular reason to stay, but the writing does not consistently give its capable cast enough to work with.

The sharper benchmark is *30 Rock* (2006), where Wigfield began as a writers' assistant during the second season before becoming a staff writer and producer. The ensemble takes time to settle, but Fey and Alec Baldwin make its workplace friction worth watching, and the foolishness is judged with unusual care. No single writer can claim all of that, and our enthusiasm for the programme should not become a claim that every good line was hers. Co-writing its 2013 finale with Fey nevertheless places Wigfield well beyond the margins of that achievement.

After *30 Rock*, she wrote and co-executive produced *The Mindy Project* (2012), created *Great News* (2017) and developed the 2020 revival of *Saved by the Bell*. Those credits trace a move from writing on established programmes to shaping series herself. Fey has remained a central collaborator, with Fisher joining them to create *The Four Seasons*. That series marks a deliberate change of pace, towards more grounded stories about middle-aged friends who have been married for years.

Slowing down is a reasonable ambition for a comedy writer; we do not need every programme to behave like *30 Rock*. But with fewer rapid jokes, the characters have to reward closer attention, and too many of these marital complaints tell us little we have not heard before. Fey, Kerri Kenney and Will Forte are among the actors the scripts could give more to do, so there is no shortage of comic ability to draw on. Start with *30 Rock*; choose *The Four Seasons* when the company matters more than the number of laughs.
