This article is about the fourth season of 30 Rock. For the episode entitled "Season 4", see Season 4 (30 Rock)

The fourth season of 30 Rock, an American television comedy series, consists of 22 episodes and began airing on October 15, 2009, on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) network in the United States. The season was produced by Broadway Video, Little Stranger, and NBC Universal; the executive producers were series creator Tina Fey, Lorne Michaels, Marci Klein, David Miner, and Robert Carlock.

30 Rock is centered on The Girlie Show with Tracy Jordan (TGS), a fictional sketch comedy series, and its head writer Liz Lemon, portrayed by Fey. The series follows Lemon as she juggles her job and her personal life. Early in the season Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) and Liz work to find a new cast member for TGS. The season also sees NBC being purchased by the fictional company Kabletown, a reference to the real-life acquisition of NBC Universal by cable company Comcast. Additionally, Liz has an ongoing relationship with a man she thought might be her "Future Husband" later in the season.

The fourth season aired under NBC's promotional banner "Comedy Night Done Right" on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time.[2][3] The season drew 15 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, down from its previous record breaking totals of 17 and 22 in the second and third seasons, respectively. The season was released on DVD in the United States on September 21, 2010, as a three-disc set.[4]

Crew

The fourth season was produced by Broadway Video, Little Stranger, and NBC Universal and was aired on the NBC network. The executive producers were series creator Tina Fey, Lorne Michaels, Marci Klein, David Miner, and Robert Carlock.[5] Jack Burditt, Matt Hubbard, Jeff Richmond, John Riggi, and Ron Weiner acted as co-executive producers.[6][7] The producers for the season were Alec Baldwin, Jerry Kupfer, Paula Pell, and Don Scardino with Diana Schmidt, Irene Burns, and Kay Cannon as co-producers.[5][8]

There were eight directors through the season, two of which—series producer Scardino and Beth McCarthy-Miller—directed multiple episodes. There were six directors who each directed a single episode of the season: Riggi, Gail Mancuso, Ken Whittingham, Stephen Lee Davis, Millicent Shelton, and Richmond. Writers credited with episodes in the fourth season included Fey, Carlock, Riggi, Hubbard, Weiner, Dylan Morgan & Josh Siegal, Jon Haller & Tracey Wigfield, Burditt, and Pell.

Cast

Tina Fey portrayed Liz Lemon, the head writer of a fictitious live-sketch-comedy television series TGS.[9] The TGS cast consists of two main actors. The lead actor is the loose cannon movie star Tracy Jordan, portrayed by Tracy Morgan.[9] His co-star is the extremely narcissistic Jenna Maroney, portrayed by Jane Krakowski.[10] Josh Girard, portrayed by Lonny Ross,[5][11] was a cast member in previous seasons but quit TGS in "Season 4".[12] Jack "Danny" Baker (Cheyenne Jackson) is a new cast member hired during the season to replace Girard. Jack McBrayer played the naïve NBC page Kenneth Parcell.[11][13] Scott Adsit acted as the witty and wise TGS producer, Pete Hornberger.[11][14] Judah Friedlander portrayed trucker hat-wearing staff writer Frank Rossitano.[11][15] Alec Baldwin played the NBC network executive Jack Donaghy.[11] Donaghy's full corporate title for the majority of the season is "Head of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming".[16] Keith Powell played the Harvard University alumnus and TGS staff writer James "Toofer" Spurlock.[5][11] Katrina Bowden acted as writers' assistant Cerie Xerox.[17] The cast featured recurring characters, including Maulik Pancholy as Jonathan,[18] Grizz Chapman as Grizz Griswold,[19] Kevin Brown as "Dot Com" Slattery,[20] and John Lutz as J.D. Lutz.[21]

The show regularly features guest stars. Steve Buscemi plays private investigator Lenny Wosniak, while Will Arnett acts as Devon Banks, Jack's enemy. Cheyenne Jackson guest starred in this season as Danny Baker, the new cast member on TGS. Fey had seen Jackson in the Broadway musicals Xanadu and Damn Yankees, the latter starred Jane Krakowski. Fey set up a meeting with Jackson to interest him in a role on the program with him accepting.[22][23] Bobb'e J. Thompson and Sherri Shepherd returned as Tracy Jr. and Angie Jordan, respectively, the son and wife of Tracy Jordan. Dr. Leo Spaceman was played by Chris Parnell. Julianne Moore and Elizabeth Banks appeared as Nancy Donovan and Avery Jessup, respectively, as love interests for Jack. Jan Hooks acts as Verna Maroney, Jenna's mother. Jon Hamm, Jason Sudeikis, and Dean Winters reprised their roles as Drew Baird, Floyd DeBarber, and Dennis Duffy, respectively, as former boyfriends of Liz. Michael Sheen portrays Wesley Snipes, a man who believes that he and Liz are destined for each other. Anita Gillette, Patti LuPone, and Elaine Stritch played Margaret Lemon, Sylvia Rossitano, and Colleen Donaghy, respectively, the mothers of Liz, Frank, and Jack, respectively. Matt Damon's character Carol is introduced as a love interest in the season finale.

Reception

Robert Canning of IGN scored this season an 8.4 out of 10 rating, noting it was "impressive" and that 30 Rock "is no longer a fresh new series and a bit of the Season 4 doldrums could be felt mid season. But the great start and fantastic finish proved that there's still a lot of great comedy to be found on the stages of 30 Rock."[24] Aaron Barnhart of The Kansas City Star deemed the first episode of the season, "Season 4" as "one of the weakest" episodes from 30 Rock that he has ever seen, and found the episode boring.[25] In his review of the third episode, "Stone Mountain", Leonard Pierce of The A.V. Club called it a terrible episode, and not entirely favorable to the first two episodes, Pierce commented that 30 Rock "needs to give us something fast to get rid of the worst-season-ever stink that's starting to gather."[26]

DVD Talk's Ryan Keefer opined that the fourth season was a "drop in form" from the show's previous seasons.[27] IGN contributor Dan Iverson, reviewing the DVD release, wrote "There aren't many shows on television that are as consistently funny as 30 Rock [...] Not content to rest on silly characters and smart gags ... the show brought in new characters and created story arcs which made the season worth watching from beginning to the end." Iverson deemed the premiere and "Into the Crevasse" as "two excellent episodes" from the season.[28] Metacritic, which gives a score based on critical reviews, gave this season of 30 Rock a rating of 74% from 17 reviews, signifying "generally favorable."[29]

Ratings

Throughout the fourth season, 30 Rock continued to slip in the ratings. The season premiered with 6.3 million American viewers, down from the 8.7 million that viewed the third season premiere.[30] The second episode, "Into the Crevasse", garnered 6.7 million viewers.[31] The next five weeks saw lower ratings, until the season's eighth episode—"Secret Santa"—which was the highest-rated episode of the season with 7.5 million viewers.[32] "Lee Marvin vs. Derek Jeter", which aired on April 22, 2010, would become the lowest-rated episode in the United States with 4.2 million people watching.[33] The finale, "I Do Do", was seen by 5.5 million,[34] down from season three's finale "Kidney Now!", which was seen by 5.7 million viewers.[35]

Awards and nominations

At the 67th Golden Globe Awards in January 2010, Alec Baldwin won his second Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series (Comedy or Musical), for his portrayal of Jack Donaghy.[36] Both Baldwin and Tina Fey won the Screen Actors Guild Awards in the categories of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series, respectively.[37]

This season of 30 Rock received 15 Emmy Award nominations, including the series' fourth consecutive nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Baldwin), and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Fey).[38] This total was down from the 17 nominations for season 2 and 22 for season 3.[39][40] Guest appearances by Jon Hamm, Will Arnett, and Elaine Strich all also drew nominations in their respective categories.[38] The ceremony saw the series fail to win any of the awards for which it had been nominated.[41]

Distribution

The series is broadcast in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia, in addition to the United States. It was simulcast in Canada on Citytv.[42] This season of 30 Rock was shown in Australia on the Seven Network at 11:30 p.m. local time[43] starting February 1, 2010.[44] The fourth season began in the UK on April 19, 2010, on Comedy Central.[45]

The season was released on DVD by Universal Studios on September 21, 2010, in the United States after it had completed an initial broadcast run on NBC.[4] The three-disc set of 22 episodes has a 1.78:1 aspect ratio, Dolby Surround 2.0 and 5.1, and English and Spanish subtitles.[46] In addition to the episodes, the DVD set special features included unaired scenes, featurettes, and audio commentary on the select episodes, "Stone Mountain", "Audition Day", "The Problem Solvers", "Dealbreakers Talk Show #0001", "Black Light Attack", "Verna", "Anna Howard Shaw Day", and "Don Geiss, America and Hope".[46]
