It’s even harder to remember when Fey’s sitcom \u003cem\u003e30 Rock\u003c\/em\u003e was tanking, but it was. It premiered in the fall of 2006, and by November, the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e wrote that \u003cem\u003e30 Rock\u003c\/em\u003e was \"perilously close to a flop.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut despite all expectations (including those of some of the cast and crew), Fey’s eccentric buddy comedy lasted 138 episodes, spanning seven seasons. It resurrected the career of Alec Baldwin, survived an extended absence by Tracy Morgan, and permeated the culture—its breakneck pacing, oddball characters, and extremely rich joke writing are deeply beloved by millions of fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough more than 50 original interviews with cast, crew, critics, and more, culture writer Mike Roe brings to life the history of the gloriously goofy show that became an all-time classic. \u003cem\u003eThe 30 Rock Book\u003c\/em\u003e has everything in it, from tales of the amazing music still stuck in our heads to the iconic bit characters that make the show, all the love and drama of the backstage crew... and the creative failures and successes along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo grab your night cheese and muffin tops, cuddle up with your slanket against your Japanese body pillow, and settle in for the story of one of the funniest shows in television history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598998880492,"sku":"9781419750458","price":47.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/70cc2816fc4bdc3210d52d6e7a657482.jpg?v=1778024892","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-30-rock-book-by-mike-roe-9781419750458","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
