A Nod to New York
Although Parks is quickly replacing 30 Rock as my favourite NBC comedy, the show still has something Parks doesn't: Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.
This compatible comedic pairing is perhaps the only reason viewers still tune in. 30 Rock was intended to be a parody of behind-the-scenes as a writer for SNL. Thus, the plot centers around Liz Lemon's (Fey) show: TGS with Tracy Jordan (TGS stands for The Girls Show). Jack Donaghy (Baldwin) is Lemon's boss, mentor, and friend, trying to teach her how to better manage a seemingly unmanageable writing staff. It doesn't help that the TGS's co-stars, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) are both insane, making for (once shining, now dimming) comedy.
While always having struggled with ratings since its inception, the show gained significant street cred after being nominated for countless Emmy's, praising Baldwin's performance time and time again.
Catch Season 6 of 30 Rock this January on NBC.
