The multiple Emmy and Golden Globe award winning comedy 30 Rock follows the life of Liz Lemon (Tina Fey), the head writer of a variety show, and her interactions with volatile star Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) and her burgeoning friendship with NBC network executive Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin). During each episode, we see Liz struggle to balance her life and her work, all while producing the hit variety show TGS with Tracy Jordan. Although 30 Rock is considered a work place comedy, the zany world in which the show lives also skewers the TV industry, politics, and popular culture. For example, the episode below, “MILF Island,” takes a look at the absurd and revolting content network executives put on TV in the name of making money. Throughout the show’s run so far, 30 Rock has dealt with these issues while holding up a mirror to the sometimes absurd world of television and celebrity.
Fey, Tina, and Matt Hubbard. "MILF Island." 30 Rock. NBC. New York, NY. 10 Apr. 2008.
