Now, NBC needs to do the right thing and renew 30 Rock. Speaking of which, did you hear about Tina Fey's clever dis of Aaron Sorkin and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip , NBC's other show about a sketch comedy program? She said the following at the Writer's Guild Awards over the weekend:The article also mentions that My Name is Earl and The Office have already been renewed for new seasons, which is awesome news. And 30 Rock really grew on me...it's a very funny show. Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, and Tracy Morgan make a heck of a comedy trio. In all fairness, I'm pretty sure Studio 60 aims to be more drama than comedy, and it's overall genre is dramedy. I've been up and down with that show all season, though currently I'm upgrading its status from "lukewarm" to just "warm."
"I hear Aaron Sorkin is in Los Angeles wearing the same dress - but longer, and not funny."
Ouch. But you can't question the fact that Fey knows funny.
For completeness, 24 is "in-fuckin-credible," The Office is "bust-a-gut-hilarious," and 30 Rock is "pretty damn funny." We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

And I still love Studio 60--I love the dialogue. I wish Aaron Sorkin would write all the dialogue for all my daily conversations.
I wish the shows didn't both have a number in the title, but 30 Rock got it's name from the address, so I can't blame them.
I like that 30 Rock takes place at NBC, but I understand that would limit the criticism of the network that Studio 60 likes to do.
Also, I think the "Girlie Show" is a terrible name for the show with in a show on 30.
