30 Rock


30 Rock is a series about a live sketch comedy and its writers, cast, and crew. This comedy series, created by Tina Fey, goes behind the scenes of The Girlie Show or TGS with Tracy Jordan. The show's name comes from the building in New York City, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where the NBC studios are located.

Fey portrays the sarcastic, quick- witted, overworked Liz Lemon. This character is said to be a fictionalized version of Fey herself, seeing as she was the head writer for Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 1999 to 2006. Other characters from the show include the dim-witted, attention seeking star of TGS, Jenna Marone, and the other star, unpredictable and insane, Tracy Jordan. Also, there is the controlling, successful corporate businessman in charge of east coast television programming (meaning TGS) and microwave oven programming, Jack Donaghy, and the young, enthusiastic NBC page, Kenneth.

30 Rock has received numerous awards, including five Golden Globe Awards and nine Primetime Emmy Awards. It is currently in its third season with new episodes on Thursdays on NBC. To watch full episodes and learn more about the show visit NBC.com.


What Do I Think? The first episode I watched of 30 Rock was an episode from the third season, and I was only watching it because it was on after The Office. What I didn't know is that I was watching the funniest show on television. The humor in the show is quick, smart, and almost hard to keep up with. The characters are outrageous and the conflicts that they cause in studio 6h are ridiculously funny. 30 Rock is one of my favorite shows on TV.

    And, I love 30 Rock more than anything else I can think of.

    Liz: Why are you wearing a tux?
    Jack: It's after six. What am I, a farmer?
