Light a candle, bow your head, repeat a mantra of “I want to go to theres.” Tonight marks the finale of Tina Fey’s wildly creative brainchild 30 Rock. It’s going to be tough to say farewell to Fey’s alter ego Liz Lemon and all of the Lemonisms that she hath wrought during 30 Rock’s seven-season reign on NBC.
A poster child for third-wave feminism, a cheese-loving geek, a fully-realized and proud single woman and always a whip-smart, self-effacing and hilarious career woman, Liz Lemon follows a proud tradition of smart, funny TV comedy pioneers including Mary Tyler Moore, Maude, Murpy Brown and Carrie Bradshaw. With her penchant for hot nerd glasses, Snuggies and sensible shoes Liz Lemon is the glass ceiling buster that many women of the aughts aspire to be.
While just about every web editor in North America has lovingly compiled some sort of tribute to Liz, 30 Rock and her lovable cohorts we thought we’d offer up our homage with a round-up of some of Liz’s more lesbian moments.
