#3. 30 Rock
NBC

Accepting the Best Comedy Award at the Emmys, writer-producer-star Tina Fey thanked the show's "dozens of fans." Oh, you lucky dozens. This year 30 Rock morphed from a funny office comedy to a subversive TV satire and outrageous character showpiece. Fey's Liz Lemon has developed into a smart-but-neurotic urban Everywoman, while Alec Baldwin channeled the spirits of Redd Foxx and Jimmy Walker in a politically incorrect impersonation that was the funniest two minutes of TV this year.
