"New Heights In Network Narcissism:" One-Third Of New NBC Show Are About NBC...


When NBC's fall schedule was announced last month, two of its half-dozen new series stood out: the Tina Fey-starring comedy, "30 Rock," and the Aaron Sorkin drama, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."

Their common denominator? Each in its own way takes a look behind the scenes at a sketch-comedy show not unlike NBC's own longrunning "Saturday Night Live." Jointly, "Studio 60" and "30 Rock" (one of whose executive producers is "SNL" boss Lorne Michaels) are reaching new heights in network narcissism: One-third of NBC's freshman slate is about NBC.
