Seasons

93%
Critics Consensus: 30 Rock's final season is an excellent but bittersweet farewell to one of the most hilarious and incisive pop culture satires of its time.

2012, NBC, 13 episodes

75%
Critics Consensus: 30 Rock feels content to spin its zany wheels in a sixth season that is nevertheless punctuated with great gags and an infectious sense of fun.

2012, NBC, 22 episodes

86%
Critics Consensus: Liz Lemon continues to fire off tart zingers in a resilient fifth season that maintains 30 Rock's streak of innovative -- if somewhat inconsistent -- gags, pulled off with tremendous heart.

2010, NBC, 23 episodes

72%
Critics Consensus: Though a tad uneven and perhaps a victim of its own success, 30 Rock's fourth season nevertheless continues to deliver plenty of subversive satire and hearty laughs.

2009, NBC, 22 episodes

92%
Critics Consensus: Brandishing its trademark silliness with vigor, 30 Rock's third season hits the ground running and cements its reputation as one of the smartest, funniest comedies on television.

2008, NBC, 22 episodes

94%
Critics Consensus: 30 Rock's return not only avoids the pitfalls of a sophomore season, but finds the series hitting its jubilant stride with a trove of quips and ingenious gags.

2007, NBC, 15 episodes

83%
Critics Consensus: It isn't as consistently as funny as it could be, considering its pedigree, but 30 Rock is a clever, wacky comedy that benefits from a strong ensemble cast.

2006, NBC, 21 episodes
