A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.

Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.

Rules:

  1. All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
  2. All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
  3. Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
  4. No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.

Funnily enough, I just watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

I think it might have been a different viewing experience when it was new, but it's hard to not view it through the modern lens where 30 Rock made it - and therefore defined the "genre" of show-about-a-SNL-type-show - and Studio 60 didn't.

Wikipedia indeed includes an entire section about this in the pages for both shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_60_on_the_Sunset_Strip#Similarities_to_30_Rock / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Rock#Similarities_to_other_media

But it does answer the question of "what if in a parallel universe, 30 Rock was a slightly weirdly paced character drama?".
