Seriously – 30 Rock was already quickly becoming my favorite sitcom.

I mean, what more could you ask of a sitcom other than creative, original and witty writing and a perfect ensemble cast?  Well, 30 Rock asked more of itself and just raised the bar on itself and the competition.

NBC just announced that 30 Rock will air a LIVE episode this October 14th. What is even more scrumptious news is that there will be two shows/performances that day, so that both east and west coast viewers can all get to see the show live.

Genius. Even if live TV is not a novel idea; it’s been a minute since a sitcom has done it.

NBC executives told the Television Critics Association that they approached 30 Rock executive producers Tina Fey and Loren Michaels with the idea of doing a live episode and the two were up for the challenge.

Fey, the show’s star and creator, is a pro at live TV from her Saturday Night Live days. Same can of course be said of Michaels, who has been executive producer of SNL since like the 1800’s.

I joke of course.

How soon will October get here?
