Season 1

30 Rock is an American television comedy series created by Tina Fey and produced by Broadway Video and Little Stranger, Inc., in association with NBC Universal, about the goings on behind the camera of the fictional live sketch comedy series, The Girlie Show with Tracy Jordan.

The series aired in the USA on NBC from 11 October, 2006 to 31 January, 2013. There are 138 half-hour episodes in seven seasons.

30 Rock premiered in South Africa on M-Net on Tuesday 5 June 2007, at 19h00. It later aired on M-Net Series, SABC3, Vuzu (from Season 5), M-Net Series Showcase (simulcast in HD) from Season 7 and M-Net Series Zone (from Season 6). See "Seasons" below for seasonal broadcast dates and times.

30 Rock premiered on SABC3 on Monday 26 January 2009, at 19h30. New episodes broadcast weekly. There are 21 episodes in the first season.

Season 1

Tina Fey writes, executive-produces and stars as writer Liz Lemon in 30 Rock, an irreverent workplace comedy set 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 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.

The show's self-awareness of this and other sitcom clichés (at once avoiding and embracing them) has been one of 30 Rock's hallmarks.

30 Rock is executive produced by Lorne Michaels.
