30 Rock

Based more-than-loosely on the behind-the-scenes shenanigans at ``Saturday Night Live,'' ``30 Rock'' centers on young comedy writer Liz Lemon. She's currently ``living the dream,'' working as the head writer for a live sketch-comedy show in New York. Complications ensue when the network's new president orders Liz to hire mentally unstable movie star Tracy Jordan to join the cast, throwing neurotic leading lady (and best friend) Jenna Maroney into a tizzy. Can Liz juggle all the egos around her while still trying to chase her own dream?
