  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

  • Come on Meow! Ian Somerhalder Is Pick of the Litter for Catcon 2017
    Come on meow! Ian Somerhalder is pick of the litter for CatCon 2017 Ian Somerhalder with a furry feline friend. The actor's foundation has been named the official charity for the CatCon event scheduled for Aug. 12- 13, 2017, in Pasadena. (Ian Somerhalder Foundation) Adam TschornContact Reporter CatCon has adopted actor Ian Somerhalder — and his charitable foundation — for its 2017 conference/symposium/celebration of all things feline set to take place in mid-August, organizers announced Wednesday. The “Vampire Diaries” actor, activist and pet parent to three rescue cats will be making a special appearance at the third event, and the nonprofit Ian Somerhalder Foundation he launched in 2010 will be the official charity beneficiary, receiving $2 from each ticket sold as well as a portion of funds raised from the celebrity meet-and-greets taking place over two days. He follows in the little cat footsteps of such feline-fancying famous folk as Jack McBrayer (“30 Rock”), Mayim Bialik (“The Big Bang Theory”), Julie Newmar (Catwoman from the ‘60s-era “Batman” series) and comedian Andy Milonakis, who have appeared at previous CatCons. Launched as CatConLA in 2015 by organizer Susan Michals as a celebration of all things feline (“I want it to be kind of like a ComicCon for cat people,” she told us at the time), the first two unspooled at the Reef in downtown Los Angeles, serving up seminars, cat-themed merchandise, adoption opportunities and chances to rub elbows (make that paws) with celebricat Lil Bub, the Internet sensation with nearly 100,000 Twitter followers. While all of that — including a return engagement by Lil Bub — is on deck for 2017, the event is shifting from June to mid-August (just past the dog days of summer, we might add) and relocating to a larger space at the Pasadena Convention Center roughly 13 miles to the northeast.

  • FULL CAST to JOIN KATHARINE Mcphee & JACK Mcbrayer FOR
    PRESS RELEASE – 9 January 2019 JUST ANNOUNCED: FULL CAST TO JOIN KATHARINE McPHEE & JACK McBRAYER FOR THE UK PREMIERE OF Full casting information for the West End premiere of Sara Bareilles’ Waitress has been released today, featuring Shaun Prendergast as Old Joe. As previously announced, US star Katharine McPhee (Smash) will reprise the role of Jenna having played her on Broadway in 2018 and will appear alongside Emmy-nominated film and TV actor Jack McBrayer, who is best known for playing Kenneth in the multi-award winning US comedy series 30 Rock and will be making his West End debut in the role of Ogie. Rehearsals are now underway ahead of performances beginning on 8 February and an official opening night on 7 March at London’s Adelphi Theatre. Currently playing its third hit year on Broadway, Waitress will bring with it an all-female lead creative team – a West End musical first. The full company includes Kelly Agbowu, Laura Baldwin, Piers Bate, Nicole Raquel Dennis, Michael Hamway, Peter Hannah, David Hunter, Stephen Leask, Jack McBrayer, Chris McGuigan, Katharine McPhee, Olivia Moore, Nathaniel Morrison, Sarah O’Connor, Leanne Pinder, Shaun Prendergast, Charlotte Riby and Marisha Wallace. Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying run-in with someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it.
