30 Rock!

30 Rock:

In a few years to come 30 Rock will be known as a comedy classic. It ran for 7 seasons with an average of 24 episodes for each. It was written by Tina fey and is loosely based on her experiences as one of the head writers on the hit show SNL.

What It’s About:

It is pretty much a backdrop for a show similar to SNL, were Liz Lemon goes through the motions of work, social life and self-motivation in New York. Sounds like any old sex and the city type show, but believe me when I say it is not! The comedy value is brilliant due to Tina Fey and the other actors.

Stand Out Characters In It:

Liz Lemon played by SNL alumni Tina Fey is the main character that lives her life around work. She becomes her bosses, Jack Donaghy, protégé as he is the opposite of what everything Liz Lemon is.

Jack Donaghy played by Alec Baldwin is the decisive, controlling, suave-smooth boss of Liz Lemon.

Tracy Jordan, played by another SNL Alumni Tracy Morgan. His character is a loose cannon, unpredictable pain in Lemon’s side.

Jenna Maroney played by Jane Krakowski is an attention seeking “star” of the show, who is also Liz Lemons “best friend”

Kenneth Parcell played by Jack McBrayer is the cheerful, southern-born page clerk, and Tracy’s sometimes assistant.

The show also has a huge list of celebrities who make an appearance every now and again including:

•  Al Gore
• Oprah Windfrey
• Elvis Costello
•  Wyclef Jean
• Larry King
• Jon Hamm
• Calvin Klein
• James Franco
• Jon Bon Jovi
• John Lithgow
• Matt Damon

-       And so many more.

Why it’s awesome:

The above reasons weren’t enough the show is comedy gold that will have you laughing the whole time. Its mixture of diverse and complex characters are clever and humorous and it is a light and easy watch.

Have you watched it?  What did you think? Did you hate it? Tell me why?
