TV was "30 Rock's" favorite subject, as Alan Sepinwall notes: "'30 Rock' came on the air near the start of what seems to be the death rattle of network television — it likely wouldn’t have lasted seven seasons with its ratings if NBC hadn’t been in such dire straits — and though Jack and other characters frequently commented on the terrible state of the business, the show always viewed that with sadness. Kenneth was a character fueled by nothing except a love of television and a desire to work in it, which is why he spent so many years in the demeaning job of NBC page; when Jack improbably promoted him to network president last week, it was treated as a deserved outcome."
