Celebrate 30 Rock's anniversary with the most underrated lines
Ten years ago Tuesday, Tina Fey blessed viewers with her excellent, hilarious, and very quotable sitcom 30 Rock, bringing the endlessly relatable Liz Lemon into our lives. While such staples as "I want to go to there" and "Working on my night cheese" are famous fodder for 30 Rock fans, there are tons of other hysterical quotes that don't get quite as much play. Check out 35 of these under-appreciated gems below:
