Can anyone recall where Comedy Central got to with 30 Rock (season and episode).

I am pretty fed up waiting for it to return, surely they could sacrifice a Friends or 2 and a Half Men repeat to show this instead?

30 Rock got poor ratings. For some reason it managed to continue when better shows with better ratings were cancelled in US. I watched about ten episodes and then gave up on it.

So because you don't like it, you assume it got poor ratings?

Ok ..

Anyway, OP, I think they stopped at episode 10 of Season 6. They've done this for the past few years and it's infinitely annoying.

I'm not "assuming" it got poor viewing figures. A quick search on the net will show you that was why it was dropped from Five and you will see how the viewing figures have declined markedly in US. Comedy Central hyped it up but compared to other shows it did not do well.

I'm not particularly bothered with Five's handling of the show because they haven't got the faintest idea on what to do with most US shows that aren't CSI.

The ratings on Comedy Central have been more than enough for them to continue showing it, but then if they don't resume Season 6 soon, I'll just download it.

Thanks Jason, looks like I will have to resort to, ahem, alternative methods of watching the rest of the season.....

And the new one too!!

The first season was a bit shit, but from season 2 things started to take off. Tina Fey has suggested the only reason the show made it to air and was renewed for season 2 is because Alec Baldwin was involved. Since then NBC hasn't done too well, and critical acclaim have helped keep it alive. Thankfully, the show is ending by agreement between NBC and it's producers, so will be given a proper send off like it deserves.

Tina Fey has already signed a development deal with NBCUni and I'm looking forward to whatever she does next...

Just noticed on Geektown that 30 Rock Season 6 is back on Comedy Central Wed 30th Jan at 10pm. Been waiting since June for it to return, hopefully they will go straight into Season 7 after rather than dragging it out with another 6 month break.

They are too late, I have erm, watched it already.

I bought and watched the first 5 seasons of 30 Rock on DVD so after catching up I was excited to be up to speed. Season 6 started off on comedy central and I was happy, they took a break for 6-7 months I wasnt so happy anymore. I feel very angry at comedy central and Im glad that once 30 Rock finishes I wont be watching any more of their shows. Season 7 of 30 Rock is supposed to be the last but you can tell they're gonna leave a gap in between 6 and 7 and then whilst showing s7 they're going to take another gap just so they can stretch it as much as they can. They really are starved for programming arent they?

It's the only show I've ever watched on Comedy Central and it does seem like it's not really their kind of show. It seems more likely it would fit in with Sky Atlantic's style, though presumably there are legal complexities that would prevent this.

I only started watching 30 Rock at Christmas when I got the boxset as a gift. I have to say it has turned into one of my favourite shows ever. Such good characters, humour and stories.

I've just finished the final season. Was not let down at all. They did an awesome job.
