List of episodes

The second season of 30 Rock, an American television comedy series, originally aired between October 4, 2007 and May 8, 2008 on NBC in the United States.[2] 30 Rock is centered around TGS with Tracy Jordan, a fictional sketch comedy series, and its head writer Liz Lemon portrayed by Tina Fey. The series follows Lemon as she juggles her job and her personal life.

The season consisted of 15 episodes,[1] each of which were approximately 22 minutes long, excluding commercials. During its second season, 30 Rock moved timeslots three times. All episodes aired on a Thursday, but with the first eight episodes airing 8:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST),[2][3] the ninth episode airing at 9:00 pm EST,[4] episode ten through twelve airing at 8:30 pm EST[5] and the final three episodes aring at 9:30 pm EST.[6] Throughout the season, 30 Rock aired under NBC's promotional banner "Comedy Night Done Right".[7]

The season was affected by the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, which began on November 5, 2007 and ended on February 12, 2008.[8][9] The season's show runners Tina Fey and Robert Carlock agreed not to allow their writing staff to write episodes of 30 Rock during the strike.[10] As a result, only 15 episodes of the 22 episodes ordered could be produced.[11][12]

The 30 Rock season two DVD box set is expected to be released on October 7, 2008 in Region 1 format.[1]

Tina Fey is an executive producer, a show runner, a writer and lead actress.

The season was produced by Broadway Video, Little Stranger and NBC Universal and was aired on NBC, a terrestrial television network in the U.S. The executive producers were creator Tina Fey, Lorne Michaels, Joann Alfano, Marci Klein, David Miner and Robert Carlock with Jack Burditt and John Riggi acting as co-executive producers. Producers for the season were music composer Jeff Richmond, Matt Hubbard and Don Scardino with Diana Schmidt, Margo A. Myers and Irene Burns acting as co-producers.[13]

The main writers for the season were Tina Fey, Robert Carlock, Matt Hubbard, Jack Burditt and John Riggi, who all wrote, or co-wrote at least two episodes. Jon Pollack, Kay Cannon, Ron Weiner, Tami Sagher, Donald Glover and Andrew Guest only wrote, or co-wrote, one episode each.[17][18]

Cast

This season had a cast of ten actors who received star billing. Tina Fey portrayed Liz Lemon, the head writer of a fictitious live sketch comedy television series named TGS with Tracy Jordan (commonly known as just TGS).[19] The TGS cast consists of three actors. The lead actor is the loose cannon movie star Tracy Jordan, portrayed by Tracy Morgan.[19] The co-stars are the dense, limelight-craving Jenna Maroney, portrayed by Jane Krakowski[20] as well as the playful Josh Girard, who is also a writer for TGS, portrayed by Lonny Ross.[21] Jack McBrayer played the naïve Kenneth Parcell.[22] Scott Adsit acted as the witty and wise TGS producer, Pete Hornberger.[23] Judah Friedlander portrayed the wise-cracking, trucker hat wearing, repulsive staff writer Frank Rossitano.[24] Alec Baldwin played the high flying NBC network executive Jack Donaghy.[25] Donaghy's full corporate title for the majority of the season is "Head of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming."[26] Keith Powell played the Harvard University alumnus and TGS staff writer James "Toofer" Spurlock.[21] Katrina Bowden acted as the writers assistant Cerie Xerox.[21][27]

The cast also included some recurring characters including Maulik Pancholy as Jonathan,[28] Grizz Chapman as Grizz Griswold,[29] Kevin Brown as "Dot Com" Slattery[30] and John Lutz as J.D. Lutz.[31]

Critical reception

In his review of the season, Robert Canning of IGN said that this season was "smart, funny and thoroughly entertaining." He also praised many of the guest stars who appeared throughout the season.[40] Regarding the main cast, Canning wrote that "the regulars all seemed to up their game in this second season," particularly praising Tina Fey's portrayal of Liz Lemon, calling her "the heart of the show." Canning ranked the season as "8.9 out of 10."[41]

Robert Bianco of USA Today wrote that towards the end of the season "30 Rock [went] into a surprising, unsettling decline, as it set consecutive season-ratings lows" adding that "this once-dependable sitcom has also lost its way creatively, ditching plot and character in a desperate, scattershot search for laughs, as if its new goal were to become a live-action version of Family Guy." He suggested that "the chief blame for the decline rests with Tina Fey and her fictional counterpart, Liz Lemon."[42]

Awards

Tina Fey picked up a Golden Globe Award, the the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical, for her portrayal of Liz Lemon.[43] Both Fey and Alec Baldwin received Screen Actors Guild Awards, in the categories of Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, respectively.[44] The season also received the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Comedy Series,[17] as well as The Danny Thomas Producer of the Year Award in Episodic Series - Comedy from the Producers Guild of America.[45] 30 Rock received 17 Emmy nominations, for its second season, meaning it was the second most nominated series of the year.[46] These 17 nominations broke the record for the most nominations for a comedy series, meaning that 30 Rock was the most nominated comedy series for any individual Emmy year. The previous holder of this record was The Larry Sanders Show in 1996 with 16 nominations.[47] 30 Rock also won the Television Critics Association Award for "Outstanding Achievement in Comedy."[48] The series was also honored with a George Foster Peabody Award during its second season.[49]
