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:
- 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.
- No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
- 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.
- Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
- Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
- 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?".
