The fifth season of 30 Rock, an American television comedy series on the NBC network in the United States, began airing on September 23, 2010. NBC announced on March 5, 2010 that 30 Rock would be returning for a fifth season in the 2010–2011 television season.
30 Rock is an American television comedy series created by Tina Fey that airs on NBC. The series is loosely based on Fey's experiences as head writer for Saturday Night Live. 30 Rock takes place behind the scenes of a fictional live sketch comedy series depicted as airing on NBC; the name "30 Rock" refers to the address of the GE Building where NBC Studios is located, 30 Rockefeller Plaza. This series is produced by Broadway Video and Little Stranger, Inc., in association with NBC Universal.
The incomparable Tina Fey writes, produces, and stars in "30 Rock" as Liz Lemon, the quirky thirty-something and head of the show "TGS with Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan)." Lemon is charged with keeping the show running smoothly, while prima donna cast members and an overbearing boss (Alec Baldwin) make things difficult.
