30 Rock

About the show

About the show

Emmy Award winner Tina Fey (NBC's "Saturday Night Live," "Mean Girls") writes, executive-produces and stars as Liz Lemon in NBC's "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 ("The Aviator," "The Cooler" ) 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 (Tracy Morgan, "Saturday Night Live," "The Longest Yard") -- 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.

Also rounding out the cast in the half hour comedy are: Jane Krakowski ("Ally McBeal" as Jenna Maroney), Scott Adsit ("Kicking and Screaming" as Pete Hornberger,) the variety show's producer, Jack McBrayer ("Arrested Development" as Kenneth the Page,) the over-eager NBC Page -- a highly sought-after entry level position with the network, and Rachel Dratch ("Saturday Night Live" in multiple roles).

"30 Rock" is executive produced by Lorne Michaels.

I have watched the first series in the US and it is fantastic! Its a shame Seven has in on so late. Well worth staying up a little later!

Oh, Channel 7. I vowed to hate you forever after you took Bones off the air, but now that you're bringing it back, and adding 30 Rock TWICE a week to the package, I may just forgive you.

Maybe.

30 Rock is without a doubt the funniest show on american tv at the moment, i've seen the first season and i am now up to date with the second. It is well worth staying up for!

I was kinda dissapointed with the pilot. It wasn't that good, but I'll take the other users' words for it and watch the rest of the season.

A great show, one that we look forward to - when is it coming back on - I hope that 7 haven't dropped it - that would be a big mistake (rather like 10 and psyche)

7 - this is such a great show - why are you burying it at 1130pm at night. Surely it will rate as well as some of your 930 or 1030pm shows! (I'm a media analyst so I know what I'm talking about). Give the show a go.
