6. It's Relatable
I know this one may seem odd coming from a show that features a character who is apparently immortal (Kenneth) but when you think about it it all makes sense. Who can't relate to Liz Lemon? Everybody's had that awkward moment or tough situation and Liz embodies that perfectly. We know what it's like to be to her which causes her struggles with adoption, work life vs. social life and trying to find "the one" not only great viewing but very relateable as well. We all know that cray person (Tracy), that obnoxious diva (Jenna), that helpful friend( Jack) and that lovable idiot (Kenneth). 30 Rock takes all of these common things that we go through and turns them up to 11 for comedic effect but without losing the relateability that makes them so funny in the first place.
