After seven seasons of perfectly surreal pop culture parody resulting in 112 Emmy nominations and 16 deserved wins, Tina Fey’s brilliant, critically-acclaimed, delightfully self-conscious and farcical single camera sitcom 30 Rock came to a – surprisingly poignant – end on January 31st, concluding 138 episodes bursting at the seams with relentless one-liners and infinitely quotable life lessons that broke the fourth wall and had a very real impact on our lives.
