Full Product DetailsEditorial Reviews
Former Saturday Night Live head writer Tina Fey writes, executive-produces, and stars as Liz Lemon, the head writer of a live variety program produced at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City -- SNL's real-life home.

Now it's up to Liz to manage the mayhem while still trying to have a life. Join in the behind-the-scenes hilarity with the 21 episodes of the show's debut NBC season (2006-7). From the Studio

- Drugs:
Bar scenes include lots of drinking among the over-21 crowd; the characters sometimes drive immediately after drinking. Some jokes reference Tracy's history with substance abuse.

- Violence:
Infrequent violence is exaggerated for laughs (like a cat taking a bite out of a woman's neck).
What Parents Need to Know
About 30 Rock - Season 1
Parents need to know that this sitcom from former Saturday Night Live head writer Tina Fey garners some of its laughs with sexual innuendo and racial stereotypes, but it's the strained working relationships among distinctly different personalities that adult viewers will enjoy (and possibly relate to) most. Teens can probably handle most of the language and sexual content, but parents may want to pre-screen -- or, better yet, watch with them to discuss the show's more mature topics.
Families Can Talk About
Families can talk about how the media shapes our views. Who decides what we see on TV? Why are some shows green-lit and others not? What makes TV shows successful? What types of shows are popular today? What does that say about our society? Why do classic TV shows (Happy Days, I Love Lucy) seem so innocent today? Was society more genteel back then, or did the networks just candy-coat what viewers saw?
