It’s one of the best shows on TV.  It’s a bit lefty for those of you who can’t take opposing views.  Right wingers may want to keep away from it.  But the show hits so many points on a weekly basis and there are so many laugh out loud moments that I’m constantly cackling when watching the show.

Tina Fey is a genius.  Alec Baldwins character Jack Donaughey is a riot.

30 Rock is an American television comedy series created by Tina Fey that currently airs on the NBC network in the United States. The series takes place behind-the-scenes of a fictional live sketch comedy series depicted as airing on NBC; the name “30 Rock” refers to the GE Building where NBC Studios is located and which has the address “30 Rockefeller Plaza.”.^[1] The series has an ensemble cast which currently consists of ten regular cast members, including Fey, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer, Scott Adsit, Judah Friedlander and Alec Baldwin.^[2]

The pilot episode first aired on October 11, 2006,^[3] and the first season was comprised of 21 episodes.^[4] The second season, which premiered on October 4, 2007,^[5] was originally intended to contain 22 episodes,^[6] but was abbreviated to 15 episodes because of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.^[7][8] A third season, which is expected to contain 22 episodes, premiered on October 30, 2008.^[9][10][11]

The series is produced by Broadway Video and Little Stranger, Inc., in association with NBC Universal.^[2] The current executive producers are Tina Fey, Lorne Michaels, Marci Klein, David Miner and Robert Carlock.^[2] 30 Rock is produced in a single camera setup^[12] and is primarily filmed at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, Queens, New York,^[13] with some scenes are filmed on location at Rockefeller Center.^[14]

30 Rock has been a critical success, winning several major awards including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series both in 2007 and 2008,^[15][16] the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Comedy Series,^[17] the Producers Guild of America Award for Producer of the Year in Episodic Comedy Series,^[18] and a Peabody Award,^[19] as well as achieving the top ranking on a myriad of critics’ year-end best of 2006 and 2007 lists.^[2] Despite these accolades, the series averaged a low 5.8 million viewers in the United States during its first season, according to the Nielsen Ratings system, and ranked 102 out of 142 television series.^[20]

I’ve watched each episode at least twice.   Hopefully, the show maintains it’s creative streak and stays on air for many seasons to come.  Brilliant satire.  Brilliant.
