This was first done by me at ToughPigs by me, thought I'd get your guys' opinions...
Ok, if I'm like the LAST Muppet fan on earth to notice this, then I apologize, but does anyone else notice how 30 Rock is a lot like The Muppet Show? Here's some similarities...
It's a show about a bunch of oddballs who really don't belong on television, trying to put on a show each week. They have guest stars and sometimes these people act like they don't wanna be there (usually it's because of Jack, Liz, or another character, nothing to do with hosting). Nobody (aside from Lemon) knows what they're doing, but in an odd way they make a cool family.
Liz Lemon- main character, the one trying to solve all the problems and keep people happy, and isn't afraid to tell people if an idea stinks or not. Isn't dating Jack, but there's been weird tension a time or two. She's Kermit
Jack- Thinks he's awesome, thinks he runs the show, thinks anyone finds him attractive. Really just full of himself, and when you really think about it, he's lucky. LOVES being right, being the boss, and giving advice (whether it's good advice or not). He's Piggy.
Tracy- Horrible comedian who thinks he's the best. I can't believe I'm about to type this, but he's Fozzie.
Jenna- Tends to do even weirder things than Tracy, and unlike Tracy she doesn't really have an already-established career background. She does bizarre commercials, plays and bits that nobody has ever liked. Thinks she's a hot chick, but what's up with that nose of her's? She's Gonzo.
Kenneth- The really sweet kid who knows his way around the theater. If anyone else was doing his job, that person would be considered a kiss-***. Although Kenneth's uncle doesn't own Rockerfeller Center, he's Scooter.
Pete- He's a pretty calm guy, the most 'together' person on the show besides Lemon. Funny, but seems to be kind of wise too. Wouldn't be surprised if he knew how to play the piano. Rowlf.
Frank- Animal. Need I say more?
Toofer- Can't stand Tracy, tells him what he's doing wrong all the time, thinks he's the worst part of the show and wishes he would leave (just like the rest of America). He's not old but he sort of reminds me of Statler and Waldorf.
No wonder this show is so popular.
