Seinfeld to Fey: do you miss 30 rock?
Fey: No!

The workload was apparently nuts.

yeah...some SNL alumni have said that in a way sitcoms are actually a harder grind, because instead of writing and rehearsing and then performing a show in 6 days and being done with it, you've gotta go through long hours of multiple takes and editing, etc. being a star/writer/producer of a show like that must be exhausting.

also it wouldn't surprise me if Tina put more of the work and the pressure on her shoulders than Jerry ever did.

I read an interview where she admitted that she kept the show going because of all the jobs of her friends and crew that were riding on it, so maybe the show is actually an idealized version of the work/life struggle, whereas real tina fey was in a nightmare hellhole.

i could believe that. there was a lot of hamster-wheeling going on during the last few seasons, though it was still enjoyable

there's no season 2 thread!

We went in to the sandbox about a 1/3 of the way into the 1st season. After we got out, a new thread was started and it carried us through the rest of the series.

Obvs. this was back before we really started doing devoted seasonal threads for shows.

two years pass...

thinking a lot lately about the scene where jack goes to work for the bush administration and he walks into a room and looks up and goes "um, the ceiling appears to be leaking" and matthew broderick cheerfully responds "no. it's not. we've looked into it, and it's not."
