Here’s something that I just find interesting.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, 30 Rock ranks #10 in a SocialSense study of media interactions.  The study measures online buzz in posts and comments about shows.  30 Rock even manages to top The Office.  I hope this site helps .

Rank/ Show/ Social index */ Nielsen rank
1 “Lost” 131.4/ 10
2 “American Idol” 126.5/ 1
3 “Glee” 60.5/ 4

5 “Heroes” 55.1/ below 50

Here’s the promo that aired last night during SNL for this weeks comedy Thursday:

This is mostly just a feel good post for us.  Sometime last night we passed 500,000 page views for PCB.  We think that’s a pretty cool milestone.

Thanks for all the visits and especially the comments.  They make updating PCB worthwhile and make us smile.   (Rhyme!)  So keep coming back and sharing 30 Rock with us.  (Please.)

Also I’d like to take this opportunity to ask for any suggestions or ideas for the site.  If there’s any ideas you think would be fun or things for us to fix we’d love to hear them!  Your thoughts and help are greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

30 Rock didn’t do too bad at all last night considering it was New Years Eve.

8:00: 3.360 million viewers. 1.1/4 in the demo. (2nd place in the demo.)
8:30: 2.930 million viewers. 1.0/4 in the demo. (2nd place in the demo.)
9:00: 2.550 million viewers. 0.9/3 in the demo. (3rd place in the demo.)
9:00: 2.450 million viewers. 0.9/3 in the demo. (3rd place in the demo.)

You can see how 30 Rock’s competition did here: TV by the Numbers.

Note: This is a post for discussing the facts but mostly to speculate on what the Comcast/GE deal means for NBC and “30 Rock.”  Please feel free to share your comments.

It was announced today after weeks of working out the details, that Comcast has purchased a controlling share of NBC from General Electrics.

Facts:
Comcast owns 51% of NBC, GE owns 49%.
Jeff Zucker will lead the venture.
For a lot more specifics check out:  Comcast’s report.  NBCU’s site.  GE’s Report.

Speculation:
So what does this mean for 30 Rock?  Jack Donaghy is a GE employee, so how can the show justify his character?  Do they need to?

Great questions that can really only be answered by Tina and the writers.  It’s really up to them to let this play out in “30 Rock’s world however they want.  I don’t think there’s any reason or need to boot Jack Donaghy from his job, (much less the show.)  But they could if they wanted to.  This could work creatively for them.  Maybe they’ll give Jack story lines of being unemployed or struggling with the take over.  Maybe he’ll stay on as VP of Programing under Comcast.  Could Devon Banks be a Comcast exec?

Personally, I’m not a fan of this deal, but it could give 30 Rock some great stories.  Speculate away!

Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating. There wont be a new 30 Rock until next week. Thank you 30 Rock fans from around the globe for putting up with our holiday. .

If you’re bored with relatives or just missing your weekly 30 Rock, feel free to leave you 30 Rock related things you’re thanful for in the comments. (You know besides family friends health and important things.)

Happy Halloween everybody!  To celebrate check out the Zombie 30 Rock cast under the break.  Stay safe everyone.
