This is excellent news for TV dorks like myself.

NBC says “30 Rock” is going live this fall.

The network said Friday a live episode of the comedy will air Oct. 14 and will be performed twice so that both East and West Coast viewers get to see it that way.

NBC executives told the Television Critics Association that “30 Rock” executive producers Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels were approached about a live episode and were up for the challenge. Fey, the show’s star and creator, is familiar with live TV from her “Saturday Night Live” days. Michaels created and produces the show.

NBC has aired other live episodes, but this will be the first for the Emmy-winning “30 Rock,” which is produced in New York.

There’s nothing like live television.  I know ER did it- but it’s different when it’s a comedy show.

My favorite part will be if someone laughs.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when you watch something like SNL and people just can’t hold it together and totally start laughing.  I always think of that one Debbie Downer skit where everyone just giggled throughout- now that is AWESOME tv!
