30 RockPremiere date: Monday, 26 January 2009 at 19h30
Number of episodes: 21
30 Rock is an irreverent workplace comedy set behind-the-scenes of a live variety show.
Written, produced and starring Tina Fey (also known for her Sarah Palin impersonations), the show is told through the comedic voice of Fey and features Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy, the brash network executive who turns Liz's show (and life) 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.
The show's title comes from a nickname for 30 Rockefeller Plaza, also known as the GE Building, which is the headquarters of NBC's New York City studios, including Saturday Night Live's (SNL) Studio 8H.
Typically, the principal plotline in each episode centers on Liz and her attempts to steer the show through one crisis or another while she struggles to maintain a social life.
Liz's love life is particularly unsuccessful and suitable romantic interests have so far proven to be short-lived.
