30 Rock

Tina Fey created this sharp sitcom for NBC, launching it in October 2006 and running it until January 2013. The series centers on Liz Lemon, the head writer of a fictional late-night variety show called TGS with Tracy Jordan. She navigates a chaotic workplace filled with demanding stars while trying to keep her own life from falling apart. Alec Baldwin plays Jack Donaghy, the corporate executive who constantly clashes with and mentors Liz. The cast also features Tracy Morgan as the unpredictable Tracy Jordan, Jane Krakowski as the delusional Jenna Maroney, and Jack McBrayer as the overly cheerful Kenneth Parcell. With eight seasons and 168 episodes, the show became a defining comedy of its era.[edit]
