Die US-amerikanische Sitcom 30 Rock bekommt eine sechste Staffel, die in Amerika pünktlich zur übernächsten TV-Saison 2011/2012 an den Start gehen soll.

Ob das jetzt so toll und sonderlich prickelnd-interessant für Deutschland ist sei mal dahingestellt. Ich find die Sitcom jedenfalls nicht so sonderlich brüllermässig, sondern erachte die Serie mehr ein Versuch irgendeine Form des simplesten Kitsch cool rüberzubringen, was aber nicht so wirklich funktioniert, ausser in den USA, wenn man sich die Quoten so anschaut, die für eine Sitcom echt sehenswert sind.

Ausserdem sind wir nicht mehr in den 50er Jahren (wo man über alles lachte), sondern leben in einem Jahrzehnt das uns mit Sitcoms wie Two and a Half Men oder How I Met your mother verwöhnt.

Wie dem auch sei: Ein weiteres Jahr für Tina Fey (Liz Lemon), Alec Baldwin (Jack Donaghy) und Tracy Jordan.

Hier noch der Pressesnippet, denn der US-Sender NBC veröffentlicht hat.

We are happy to confirm the pickup of ’30 Rock’ for another season,” said Bromstad. “It continues to be a bold, hilarious, sophisticated comedy that has become a classic in its own time.”

The pickup comes as “30 Rock” also celebrates its 100th episode this season.

“30 Rock” has averaged a 3.1 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49 and 6.6 million viewers overall in “most current” averages for the season through November 7. It’s one of the most upscale and most time-shifted comedies on the schedule, tying for the #2 most upscale shows among all primetime series on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox or CW in its concentration of adults 18-49 living in homes with $100,000-plus incomes (46 percent above average), and tying for the #3 biggest time-shifting increase among half-hour comedies when going from “live plus same day” to “live plus seven day” ratings (plus 27 percent). Airing this fall in the Thursday 8:30 p.m. ET slot, “30 Rock” is building on its adult 18-49 lead-in by 25 percent in “live plus same day” ratings and has also improved the time period versus year-ago results by 25 percent.

Multiple award-winning comedy series “30 Rock” is told through the comedic voice of Emmy and two-time Golden Globe winner Tina Fey as variety show producer Liz Lemon, and features Emmy and three-time Golden Globe winner Alec Baldwin as top network executive Jack Donaghy and Emmy nominee Tracy Morgan as Tracy Jordan, the unpredictable star of Lemon’s hit variety show, “TGS with Tracy Jordan.” Lemon constantly has her hands full, juggling corporate interference from Donaghy and off-the-handle star antics from Jordan, all while attempting to salvage her own personal life.

Also rounding out the cast are two-time Emmy nominee Jane Krakowski as Jenna Maroney, the co-star of “TGS”; Scott Adsit as the variety show’s producer Pete Hornberger; Emmy nominee Jack McBrayer as Kenneth, the over-eager and effortlessly endearing NBC page; Judah Friedlander as Frank, the sardonic slacker on the writing staff; and Keith Powell as Toofer, the sophisticated yet sarcastic, Harvard-alum writer.

Nominated for 15 Emmy nominations (plus one for an interactive Emmy) in 2010, “30 Rock” won its third-straight Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series and tied the record for most comedy Emmys in a single season in 2009. “30 Rock” has also won a Golden Globe for Best Television Series, a Screen Actor’s Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an ensemble in a Comedy Series, three Producers Guild’s Danny Thomas Producer of the Year Awards in Comedy Episodic Television, three Writers Guild Awards for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series and two WGA Awards for Episodic Comedy and a Television Critics Association for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy.
