Famous fans of "30 Rock"

Being someone obsessed with both television and television actors, I find it somewhat rewarding when I learn that television actors love the same television shows I do! So welcome to a feature I like to call "Famous fans", wherein we learn that celebrities love the same shows that we love! Up today: "30 Rock".

"Tina Fey is the goddess of comedy." - Candice Accola ("The Vampire Diaries")

"It just never fails to crack me up! Sometimes I rewind it and watch parts of it again because they are so packed with jokes and I don't want to miss any of it." - Alison Brie ("Community", "Mad Men")

"At the top of their game in smart, sophisticated, adult humor. Maybe that's why it's always been a ratings-challenged show. Can a show be too smart? Not for me. I appreciate how it makes me listen carefully to catch each innuendo, pop culture reference, and the inside political skewering. What run-of-the-mill comedies would use as a centerpiece set-up and punch line joke, 30 Rock tosses off within normal conversation. Brilliant. This show has always made me laugh." - Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad")

"That show is flawless. Tina Fey is a genius. Again, she's a woman who has changed television." - Summer Glau ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles")

"30 Rock is just so smart and so stupid. I love it." - Josh Hopkins ("Cougar Town")

"I love all things 30 Rock. It never fails to stay fresh and is laugh-out-loud funny." - Sarah Lancaster ("Chuck")

"Nobody writes better jokes than Tina Fey and her army of zinger-smiths. Watching Jack McBrayer is like eating the most delicious pecan pie with cornpone ice cream. Alec Baldwin has long been my hero, both in steely delivery and body hair." - Nick Offerman ("Parks and Recreation")

"The sexual tension between Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey is written so well. There is no doubt they must at some point do it -- just a matter of when." - Jeff Probst ("Survivor")

"I like everything about this show. They're all really funny. Tina Fey is brilliant. She's one of those people that I'm just happy she's doing comedy. I think the world is a better place with her making jokes." - Danny Pudi ("Community")

"It makes me nostalgic for NYC. As Liz Lemon says, 'I want to go to there.'" - Melissa Rausch ("The Big Bang Theory")

"It's so well written and hilarious, so relevant, and so perfectly absurd." - Gail Simmons ("Top Chef")

Leslie Knope's waffle necklace

Happy Valentine's Day, "Parks and Rec" fans! If you're like me, you swooned a little over Ben and Leslie's adorable V-Day treats for one another in this week's episode. Leslie created a crazy and complicated but cute scavenger hunt for Ben (which Ron really enjoyed), and Ben got Leslie the playboy seal she'd dreamed about -- wearing an adorable little waffle necklace.

We all know how much Leslie loves waffles, so this was an amazing idea. And of course as soon as I saw it, I wanted it. I managed to track down the necklace from Tiny Hands Jewelry. Guess what? This necklace is scented! No joke. (Don't wear it if you're trying to diet.) I obviously had to buy it. They even have a feature on their site confirming it was worn on the show:

So if you're a fan like me, this is a must-have. You can get it here! And while you're there, check out all the other adorable jewelry on the site. (Cupcakes! Cookies! Donuts!).

Kindred Spirit: Kenneth Ellen Parcell, "30 Rock"

If ever there was a TV-lovin' bloke on our level, it's Kenneth the page from NBC's "30 Rock". In the pilot episode, he earnestly tells Pete, "I just love TV so much". Is he reading my diary?

Dedicated to his love of television, Kenneth works tirelessly for the writers, producers, and cast of "TGS", putting up with a lot of crap but always managing to remain optimistic. Some of Kenneth's best TV-related quotes include:

"There are only two things I love in this world - everybody, and television." (Episode 302, "Believe in the Stars")

"I studied TV theory at Kentucky Mountain Bible College." (Episode 114, "The C Word")

"What most people don't know is that NBC is still a network." (Episode 516, "TGS Hates Women")

"Bonus means extra. I know that. From game shows." (Episode 401, "Season 4")

"Do you know why I put up with this 'pitiful job', Mr. Donaghy? Why I fetch these folks' lunches and clean up their barfs? Cause they make television. And more than jazz, or musical theater, or morbid obesity, television is the true American art form." (Episode 111, "The Head and the Hair")
