Synopsis[edit]

Season two begins with Liz and the crew ofTGSreturning from summer hiatus to many problems. An immediate problem is Jack being threatened byJerry Seinfeldbecause Jack was planning to digitally insert Seinfeld into all of NBC's programming with edited footage from Seinfeld's sitcomSeinfeld.

The second season, much like the first season, includes various plotlines includingJenna Maroney(Jane Krakowski) coping with her obesity problem which she developed during the summer while performing on the fictitiousBroadway musicalMystic Pizza:The Musical.Another story arc includes the conservative Jack dating the Democratic congresswomanCeleste Cunningham(D-VT) (Edie Falco). Liz's attempts at recovering from her failed reunion with Floyd are also viewed as well as Tracy trying to deal with his failing marriage toAngie Jordan(Sherri Shepherd). Later, Tracy attempts to finish his masterpiece invention, apornographicvideogame.

As the season progresses, Jack and his rivalDevon Banks(Will Arnett) both aspire to become the Chairman of GE. When about to announce that Jack will be his successor,Don Geiss(Rip Torn), the current Chairman of GE, slips into adiabetic coma.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Devon places his fiancée, Don's daughter,Kathy Geiss(Marceline Hugot) as thepuppetGE Chairwoman.

Production[edit]

The season was produced byBroadway Video,Little Stranger, Inc.,andUniversal Media Studios(also known asNBCUniversal) and was aired on NBC, aterrestrialtelevision networkin the United States of America. The executive producers were creatorTina Fey,Lorne Michaels,JoAnn Alfano,Marci Klein,David Miner,andRobert CarlockwithJack BurdittandJohn Riggiacting as co-executive producers. Producers for the season were music composerJeff Richmond,Matt Hubbard,andDon Scardinowith Diana Schmidt, Margo A. Myers andIrene Burnsacting as co-producers.[3]

There were six different directors throughout the season. Those who directed more than one episode were Don Scardino,[4][5]Michael EnglerandBeth McCarthy.[6]There were three directors who only directed one episode each throughout the season, they wereRichard Shepard,Kevin Rodney Sullivan,andGail Mancuso.The main writers for the season were Tina Fey, Robert Carlock, Matt Hubbard, Jack Burditt and John Riggi, who all wrote, or co-wrote at least two episodes. Jon Pollack,Kay Cannon,Ron Weiner,Tami Sagher,Donald Glover,andAndrew Guestonly wrote, or co-wrote, one episode each.[7][8]

In July 2007, Fey talked to thePhiladelphia Daily Newsabout the show's second season, explaining some changes she had in mind:

I would really like to try to live in the world of the characters we've created for a little bit. We had a lot of great guest stars last year, but I also feel like there's a lot we could explore with the characters that we have. And I'd like to leave a little breathing room in the show, to let viewers keep up a little. I feel like sometimes it was a little too dense, the shows last year. In a way, [it was] the thing that madeArrested Developmentso great, but I wonder if it will help new viewers come to the show if it's a little less packed.[9]

The season was affected by the2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike,which began on November 5, 2007, and ended on February 12, 2008.[10][11]The season'sshow runnersTina Fey andRobert Carlockpublicly committed to honor the strike themselves and to not ask their writers to do otherwise.[12]As a result, only 15 episodes of the 22 episodes ordered could be produced.[13][14]
