  • 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.

JACK DONAGHY’S OFFICE-DAY Jack is in his office with Doctor Leo Spaceman. He is getting an EKG. Jack’s shirt is off and the doctor is placing the electrodes on Jack’s chest. The table is way too small for Jack’s body. JACK Careful, Leo! Other than my erect penis, the chest pecs are the manliest area of my body! LEO Should I be placing these on your Johnson, Mister Johnson? Jack gives Leo a spacey stare. JACK Leo, what is wrong with you? It’s Jack Donaghy. Your boss, remember? LEO Right. Sorry, I’m not my self since I got back from rehab. JACK You went to rehab? When? LEO Technically speaking, I’m still there.

  • Meta-Television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Introduction the Last Decade Has Seen a Number Of
    PREVIOUSLY ON “Cut the Shitcom”: Meta-television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Toni Pape Introduction The last decade has seen a number of fictional TV series about television and film production. These television shows – including the ones to be analysed here: Entourage, Extras, and 30 Rock – relocate the process of creative revitalization in front of the camera. Meta-television, as I understand it here, then is television about the media industry and, more particularly, about the production and quality of film and television itself.1 The three above-mentioned television programs present contemporary writers, actors, directors, etc. working on movies and television shows. Especially Extras and 30 Rock offer a critical overview of how television formats are produced, and they significantly do so in a period of time during which the working conditions for television-makers have fundamentally changed. In a most general sense, the criticism that these shows purport works on two levels. First, as we will see further on, there is an explicit criticism implied in the way the TV shows at hand present the making of a TV show. Thus, there is for instance Andy Millman, the protagonist of Extras about whom I will have more to say later on, who clearly states his dissatisfaction as a disillusioned actor/writer: ANDY: I wanna do something that I’m proud of. And I won’t be proud of shouting out catch phrases in a stupid wig and funny glasses. […] So basically, I’m not going to prostitute myself anymore or my work, ok? (Extras “Orlando Bloom”, 21’30”) In a very outspoken way, the programs in question take stock of television’s outworn creative standards and its resulting mediocrity.

    A Thesis entitled Me Want Food: A Discourse Analysis of 30 Rock by JoAnna R. Murphy Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Sociology Dr. Mark Sherry, Committee Chair Dr. Patricia Case, Committee Member Dr. Barbara Coventry, Committee Member Dr. Patricia R. Komuniecki, Dean College of Graduate Studies The University of Toledo December 2011 Copyright 2011, JoAnna Ruth Murphy This document is copyrighted material. Under copyright law, no parts of this document may be reproduced without the expressed permission of the author. ii An Abstract of Me Want Food: A Discourse Analysis of 30 Rock by JoAnna R. Murphy Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Sociology The University of Toledo December 2011 Using a combination of fat studies, the social construction of the body, Foucauldian approaches to the body, and cultural sociology, this thesis examines discourses about the fat female body in 30 Rock. The body is carnal and fleshy, but it is also socially constructed; this social construction has a long and deep cultural social history, and its power is particularly apparent with regard to the devaluation of the fat female body. By combining multiple theoretical approaches, a more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of discourses about the fat body emerges – suggesting that even when shows such as 30 Rock engage with counter-hegemonic discourses about the body such as fat acceptance, they may revert to hegemonic and heteronormative standards of beauty and the fat body. iii For my partner and husband Levi who supported me and grew with me during this time.

  • P-1E-I Commas Used for Other Purposes
    P-1e–i Commas Used for Other Purposes Insert commas wherever necessary in the following sentences. If a sentence is correct as given, write correct. Answers to even-numbered items can be found at the back of the book. EXAMPLE When Tina Fey joined the writing team on Saturday Night Live, you may be surprised to know, ^ ^ she was the only woman on the team. 1. Tina Fey was born on May 18 1970 in Upper Darby Pennsylvania. 2. After years of training in comedy at Chicago’s Second City theater company, Fey was hired in 1997 as a writer for Saturday Night Live. 3. October 11 2006 was another important date in Fey’s life: the pilot on NBC for the situation comedy 30 Rock. 4. The characters and plot lines of 30 Rock as most of the show’s fans know grew out of Fey’s experiences at Saturday Night Live. 5. The title of the show of course is the nickname for the GE Building, home to NBC Studios in New York City. NBC’s complete address is 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York NY 10112. 6. Episodes of 30 Rock were shot however at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City New York, in the borough of Queens. 7. When Vanity Fair magazine asked Fey for her motto in May 2011, she answered “Stop reaching for the stars!” At the time, Fey had been writing, acting, producing, and caring for her first child. Her answer suggests that she was tired doesn’t it? 8. In a typical line on 30 Rock, Liz Lemon says “Check this out Jack.

  • Commencement Address
    Thank you, Father Jenkins. To you, to Father Ted, to the trustees, faculty, family members and friends: and mostly to the class of 2010, thank you for having me, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your graduation, and its great to be back in South Bend. My late, great friend Tim Russert called Notre Dame's commencement: the Catholic Super Bowl. Thank you SO much for the honorary degree you have bestowed upon me. Because I AM an Irish Catholic, I have an instinctive need to begin with a confession, and an obvious one: I don't have a degree of any kind. Not since Mater Dei High School. Confession is a great part of growing up Catholic. Or not. Confession is a little bit like driving in Manhattan. It fills you with anxiety -- you gotta be ready for it -- you have to wait for the lights -- but when it’s over, you feel much better. Of course I'm old, so I'm used to the old-school confessional style. Dark wood trim, the light over the door wired to the kneeler, (and I always found it vaguely disconcerting that anything in a confessional had electric current running through it) you stand in line, go over your sins, you go in, bless me father, and wait to see what you get: the package of penance he's going to suggest. My late mother was VERY old school -- when Monsignor Bullman at our Church, St. Mary's -- when he would look through the screen at her, she'd forget everything she was going to say.
