30 Rock was a critical success, winning several major awards (including Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2007, 2008, and 2009), and achieving the top ranking on many critics' year-end best of 2006 and 2007 lists.[4] In 2009, 30 Rock broke the record for most Primetime Emmy nominations in a single year for a comedy series with 22.[5] Despite the acclaim, the series struggled in the ratings throughout its run.[6] It broadcast a total of 138 episodes over seven seasons, from October 11, 2006, to January 31, 2013.[7] In addition, a special episode premiered on July 16, 2020.[8]
