Synopsis

Season 7 continues to develop the relationship between Liz and Criss (James Marsden), as the pair try for children and consider getting married. Meanwhile, Jack attempts to improve his future prospects at the company, first by trying to "tank" NBC and convince Kabletown CEO Hank Hooper (Ken Howard) to sell it, and later by plotting to discredit his granddaughter and future CEO, Kaylee Hooper (Chloë Grace Moretz). Ultimately, however, he begins to wonder if he is truly happy. Elsewhere, Tracy has found success with his new movie studio, which produces comedy films mostly starring African American actors, in similar fashion to Tyler Perry; Jenna prepares to marry her longterm boyfriend Paul (Will Forte), and Kenneth has started a relationship with Hazel (Kristen Schaal), unaware that she is using him to get her moment on TGS.

Reception

Critical reception

30 Rock's final season was widely acclaimed. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has an approval rating of 95% with an average score of 8.6 out of 10 based on 38 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "30 Rock's final season is an excellent but bittersweet farewell to one of the most hilarious and incisive pop culture satires of its time." [32] Alan Sepinwall, writing for HitFix , opined that "30 Rock isn't limping to the finish line like so many great sitcoms before it. It's been sprinting through this victory lap season, giving all of its characters happy endings [...] revisiting past gags, and making the series' end much harder to accept than if it had stayed a shadow of itself" and concluded that "30 Rock is one of the best comedies to ever appear on the medium it celebrated and mocked with equal measure, and it's going out with one of the best final seasons any comedy has ever had." [33] Roth Cornet, writing for IGN , gave the season an "amazing" 9 out of 10 and commented that "The very best conclusions to stories take us by surprise, in this case make us laugh, and then settle into something that feels inevitable and right. 30 Rock did that." In conclusion, Cornet remarked that "Nothing is perfect, but I laughed hard, cried some and walked away as happy as I could have been with 30 Rock's inevitable end. What is perhaps more surprising, is that a series whose comedy hinged on being unhinged delivered honest life lessons that were as salty as they were sweet. Though never, never saccharine." [34]

Nathan Rabin, writing for The A.V. Club, commented that "One of the great things about the seventh and [...] final season of 30 Rock is that it genuinely feels like an ending, and a very satisfying one at that. 30 Rock could coast on the goodwill generated by the knockout, surprisingly moving Liz Lemon wedding episode but it seems intent on regaining its former glory as it roars its way to a conclusion." He concluded that "After serving as the harried den mother to the 30 Rock gang all these years, Liz thoroughly deserves a happy ending of her own. The same is true of 30 Rock as a whole and this season feels like a send-off worthy to one of the best, most original comedies of the past twenty years." [35] Daniel Goldberg of Slant Magazine awarded the season a 3.5 out of 4 and remarked "For a comedy whose bag of tricks is so transparent, it's gratifying to see that Fey hasn't written herself into a box." [36]

Ratings

The seventh season premiere, "The Beginning of the End", drew 3.5 million viewers, [20] both a significant decrease from the sixth season premiere, "Dance Like Nobody's Watching" (4.5 million), [37] and a significant increase over the sixth season finale, "What Will Happen to the Gang Next Year?" (2.8 million). [38] The third episode of the season, "Stride of Pride", was the lowest-rated in overall viewers, with 3.0 million tuning in, [22] although it was not a series low, a position which continues to be held by the sixth season episode "Nothing Left to Lose", which was seen by 2.8 million. [39] Several episodes demonstrated season highs, with "Mazel Tov, Dummies!" drawing 3.6 million, [26] and "Game Over" and "A Goon's Deed in a Weary World" drawing slightly below and above 3.8 million, respectively. [28] [30] These three episodes also, in turn, demonstrated the best overall viewership for 30 Rock since March 2012. [40] [41] [42]

The series finale, the hour-long broadcast of "Hogcock!" and "Last Lunch", attracted an audience of 4.9 million, [31] demonstrating another season high in overall viewers [43] and an increase of two million viewers over the sixth season finale. [43] These two episodes were also the highest-rated of the series, in overall viewers, for two years. [43] Overall, with the inclusion of DVR viewership, the season averaged 4.6 million viewers, [44] even with the previous season. [45] However, it ranked ninety-ninth for the year, against all other primetime network programming, a thirty-one place improvement over the sixth season. [44] [45]

Awards and nominations

On July 18, 2013, 30 Rock's seventh season received 9 nominations at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards and 4 nominations at the 65th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards (13 total, the most of any comedy series), including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Fey, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Baldwin, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Krakowski, Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for Will Forte, Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Elaine Stritch, Directing, two nominations for Writing, and its seventh consecutive nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, bringing the series' total number of Emmy nominations to 112.
