About this show

Emmy Award winner Tina Fey writes, executive-produces and stars as Liz Lemon in "30 Rock," a workplace comedy where the workplace exists behind-the-scenes of a live variety show. The show is told through the comedic voice of Fey and features Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy, the brash new network executive who has turned the show upside down with his meddling ways. The single Lemon is living every comedy writer's dream -- head writer on a demanding, live TV program in New York City. Her life is jolted when Donaghy interferes with her show, and bullies Lemon into convincing Tracy Jordan -- a wild and unpredictable movie star -- to join the cast. Now Lemon must manage the unmanageable so that the show -- and her dream -- can go on.

Anyone who has worked in show business and has experienced first hand the miriad of personalities we call celebrity (the natural talent of a prodigy, to unstable egomaniacs) will appreciate the genius of this show. 30 ROCK will go down in history as a sitcom classic because it contains everything from high brow wit to physical and slapstick comedy. Tina Fey has created a most memorable character in the hilariously realistic Liz Lemon. The brilliance is--Lemon doesn't realize how brilliant she is!

This is simply the best show I have ever watched. Keeps you laughing, entertained, thinking, and crying. Tina Fey is as usual, nothing short of amazing and this is Alec Baldwin at his all time best. I have seen the entire series about 4 times now and I am working on my 5th... :/

"Thirty Rock!!!" It is funny in all aspects. Tina Fay, is the show! I think it pocks at all the current events that are hap-nen and reaches the young adults as well as the boomers. Yes, the boobbers too.... lol I hope it never dies. Break a leg all you cast members. It is nice to be able to go back and see all the shows I have missed.
