The Best Show on TV.

30 ROCK is the best show on television. If you don't know this yet, you've been living under a rock. Seriously. It's funny, smart, creative, sassy and was created and written by Tina Fey. What could be better? Nothing is exactly the right answer!

If you have been living under that rock, 30 ROCK (short for 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the address of NBC's headquarters in New York) is abut a show within a show based on Ms. Fey's experiences working at Saturday Night Live, better known as SNL. But on 30 ROCK, SNL is called TGS with Tracy Jordan, abbreviated for The Girlie Show. The main characters are Tina as the head writer, a producer, the writers, the actors and an NBC Page, Kenneth, who does all of the entry-level work at NBC studios. Alec Baldwin plays the GE Executive, Jack Donaghy, who puts the business smackdown on the creative group on the show. (Tina has stated Alec's character is based on Lorne Michaels, who is the executive producer of SNL and "the suit" Tina interacted with most as an SNL cast member.)

So now that you have a basic rundown of the show, let me list a few of the endless reasons that it is awesome:

1) Social Sattire - If you're up on current events, social stereotypes and how the media operates, you will find every word that is spoken in this show hilarious. If you're not, you'll still laugh your pants off, but you'll catch less. 30 ROCk is all about poking fun at social stereotypes, crazy things Americans freak out about and the way the media operates in general. It is media literacy to its finest, and it's amazing!

2) Behind-the-scenes - If you've ever wondered how a sketch comedy show works, 30 ROCK shows you in a seriously funny way. Everything is exaggerated and dramaticized (yes, my word. Don't you love it?!), but it is the basics of how things work in any TV studio. From someone who has lived in a TV studio through internships, it's amazing to know that others can get an inside look since TV is involved in everyone's life in some way.

3) Based on Real Experiences - Tina Fey took people from her life in TV to create the characters on the show. Jenna Maroney, played by the oober-talented Jane Krakowski, is a combo of the self-centered, attention-needing, overly dramatic actors in the world. Tracy Jordan, played by the closely named Tracy Morgan, plays the acting-out, crazy, idiotic actors in the world. As you watch these characters do their thing, you can actually pinpoint actors their actions and/or mannerisms are inspired by. It's legit awesome!

4) Tina Fey - On the show every week. Created the entire program. Writes and produces every episode. Her chacter, Liz Lemon, loves food, is horrible with men and always has everything go wrong despite how hard she works. Enough said.

5) Easy to Follow - No matter when you jump into the series, you'll be able to easily catch up. Once you understand the personalities and roles of each character, you're in. There are no heavy plotlines to follow. There are no underlying stories to figure out. There are no mysteries about what secret animal/lifeforce/creepy whatever is killing everyone on the island. You watch. You're caught up. You're hooked!

The show is already on Season 4, so if you haven't started watching yet, what the heck are you waiting for!??! Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. on NBC. And if you miss it, there's always Hulu to help you out! Trust me on this. You will love it! I've recruited 20 people to fans who watch every week since I became addicted in 2008. When you start texting me your favorite quotes from each episode, I know I'll have done my job :)

If you're not convinced yet, here's a list of the best quotes from the latest episode, entitled "Future Husband" (aired 3/11/10). You will laugh without even hearing them verbally delivered:

Jack: How could a company from Philly buy a company from New York? That would be like Vietnam defeating the United States in a ground war.

Jenna: Guardwell. Guard your well. Well.

Liz: Sometimes everything is just the worst, Kenneth.

Jenna: If I wanted to see a black man make a fool of himself I'd have sex with K-Fed again.

Kenneth: That's wonderful. Even if he does come from a country that's nothing more than the dried husk America came out of.

Tracy: Honey, I'm home! Pac-Man, I'm Jewish!

Avery: I'll tell him it's the guy I'm having sex with. It's a 24 hour news cycle around here Jack, we really don't have time to do it right here anymore.

Jonathan: Maybe we're the last people on Earth. Maybe we are legend. You're Will Smith and I'm the dog!

Jack: Is it Senior Executive Skip Day? Because that's usually in the spring so we can go to an amusement park.

Liz: He could be a serial killer. He could wear a thumb ring.

Kenneth: It's so romantic, like that movie I only saw the first few moments of, Fatal Attraction.

Jenna: Oh, your dentist gets drunk with you, too?

Jack: You kept trying to order home massages off of Craigslist.
