I absolutely hate Jenna and anything she touches. Her voice is awful and they constantly laud her around as the hot chick despite being flat as a pancake on all fronts (which isnt a bad thing, but worth noting when you laid an actress as the hot one)

Im just bitching, so feel free not to respond, but couldnt they have subbed her for the hot secretary? It wouldve been the same but better, aesthetically.

The point of Jenna is that she's past her prime and struggling to stay relevant, so making her hot would be against her character design.

Jenna isn't made to be the hot chick. At least not seriously

Jenna isn't the hot one. She use to be "hot" (still is but run with it it). And now she is a older and her looks are not what they use to be . But her looks is what she banked on for all her career. The joke is her dealing with that.

This.

Also, when did they ever consider Jenna the "hot one"? The recurring joke is that she thinks she is the hot one but no one else sees it that way (considering the entire writing staff makes fun of her looks), and constantly putting Cerie the secretary in various states of undress (I'm pretty sure she's working in just a bra at one point) to further remind Jenna how her looks are fading. It's actually hilarious.

God, what a good show. I really dont know why it isnt / wasnt talked about more. Everyone talks about The Office (rightfully so) and Parks and Rec (meh) but 30 Rock is like this hidden gem of a show. I only heard about / watched it after a friend recommended it to me.

"The Rural Juror" is the joke that keeps on giving. My wife and I still laugh about it whenever the words "rural" or "juror" are ever used in a sentence, regardless of context.

Agreed with this part as well. This show, for its ratings and longetivity, is surprisingly under the radar when it comes to its community, mainstream references to it, and overall discussion about it. The show is unlike anything I've ever seen in a live-action TV show. It was basically like watching a live-action cartoon with over-the-top sequences and some great writing and satire.

Every character nailed their role and provided for amazing and memorable scenes.

The series finale when she sings it and has tears in her eyes kills me every single time.

If your takeaway is that Jenna is supposed to be "the hot one" then you're seriously watching this show wrong.

The only joke about Jenna being the hot one is that she's the one person on the staff who actually believes that

I guess the running joke with her went over my head. Thanks for explaining, though, guys. Itll make my watch easier. Still hate anytime she sings though. Holy crap.

I just started season 2. Kenneth is by far the best part of the show for me. Ive read some hilarious fan theories about him on accident. Cant wait for those jokes.

Season 2 is where the series really takes off. Season 1 was still great but it did still have to find its footing and only had flashes of its greatness.

I think the reason for this is because early on they portray her as a stuck up diva who is just there to ruin everyone's fun, which admittedly isn't a fun character trait to watch. However, as the seasons went on, they turned her wackiness up a dial to match that of Tracy, Kenneth, and the gang, which made her instantly more funny. Instead of simply being a stuck up diva, she became a parody of a stuck up diva which ended up being much funnier.

My favorite Jenna moment she has is actually the very first episode. When her mic is still on and she's talking and Lemon runs in and says her mic is live. And she says "oh my god did I say the n-word?". I die every single time. The delivery and her reasoning after are just so perfect

Also TC if you do end up vibing with 30 Rock as you should if you have good taste, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a very similar comedic style. More outrageous for sure though. But I loved it. The last two seasons are fucking hilarious.
