The 10 best moments from 30 Rock

It’s not yet been picked up in the UK, so write a complaint letter to all the UK networks: 30 Rock was one of the best of the new series that aired in the 2006-2007 season. Some enterprising person has put together the 10 top moments from the series, together with YouTube clips, so go and see what you’re missing (or missed if you didn’t watch it and you’re in the US).

I actually thought the introduction to Alec Baldwin’s character was the funniest moment in all the episodes, and would have placed that one below, but NBC, in their wisdom, have removed it from YouTube. Twannocks.
