The Top 30 Quotes from 30 Rock Announced

The Woman Behind The Glasses Behind Liz Lemon

TV: 30 Rock

Elizabeth Stamatina Fey, born in 1970, studied comedy most of her adult life. Early on, she went by the name Tina which seemed to work out well for her.  In 1997, Tina Fey joined SNL on her writing merits alone and quickly rose to fame as the first female head writer in the history of the show.

Then on that fateful evening of October 11, 2006 a lucky few television viewers were presented with a gift so wonderfully satisfying - 22 minutes of comedy heaven - we weren’t sure what hit us.  To call this show a sitcom would be a disservice.

30 Rock quickly became comedy gold.  We’ve rarely seen anything like it on television, and certainly nothing since the days of Arrested Development.  Liz Lemon has arrived.  And she brought a team of hysterical friends with her.

Slowly, the word started to get out that 30 Rock is a show to watch.  The dialogue from each episode is genius, the writing brilliant.  The characters are perfectly cast. Fans would watch in awe, clicking their Tivo back button just to hear the joke they missed because they were still howling from the last one.

Week after week the message boards and forums online would grow.  The thread counts would increase.  The world started to take notice of 30 Rock.

10 Days. 130 Quotes.

At Reality Show Rambles, we asked fans to nominate their favorite quotes from the show and from that list we would produce the definitive Top 30 Quotes from 30 Rock.  The number of nominated quotes from this one show was staggering.  In a matter of just 10 days, the fans submitted over 130 quotes for consideration.

We took those quotes, pruned them into a list of 90 and, again, asked the fans to vote for their faves.  This is how we arrived at the magnificent 30.
