I thought this was a very shaky pilot episode with some flaky characters.
30 Rock was written and created by Tina Fey. I very much assume that it was based on her own experiences in the entertainment industry.
Fay is Liz Lemon the head writer of the sketch show 'The Girlie Show'. We first see her arguing with a guy who pushes in a line for hot dogs. Liz ends up buying all the hotdogs.
When Liz arrives to the studios she meets Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) the new head of the television network and microwave programming. Jack is brash, knows marketing and wants to retool the show. This includes hiring loud and unpredictable movie star Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan.)
As 30 Rock lasted for 7 seasons, I guess it improved. In the first episode only Fey and Baldwin's rivalry register. Morgan's character is irritating to the extreme. A bad black stereotype. I wonder if he was based on Eddie Murphy or Martin Lawrence?
