Episodes also become less self-contained and various story arcs develop in the second half of the season. For example, the first major story arc centers on Liz's relationship with
Dennis Duffy (
Dean Winters), "The
Beeper King." Other story arcs include: Jenna promoting her movie
The Rural Juror; Tracy going on the run from the Black Crusaders; Jack's engagement, which was eventually called off, to a
Christie's auctioneer named
Phoebe (
Emily Mortimer); and another relationship of Liz's with
Floyd (
Jason Sudeikis).
Season 2
Devon Banks' (Arnett, left) and Jack Donaghy's (Baldwin, right) rivalry for the GE chairmanship became more evident during the second season.
Season two began airing in the United States on October 4, 2007,
[46] and featured 15 episodes.
[47] The second season was originally intended to consist of 22 episodes but the order was cut to 15 due to the
2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.
[48][49] The season finale aired on May 8, 2008.
[50] After Liz broke up with Floyd in the summer, she is looking for ways to rebound.

[58] Robert Abele of
LA Weekly declared that the show was "A weirdly appropriate and hilarious symbol of our times."
[59] The Wall Street Journal's Dorothy Rabinowitz wrote that "The standard caution is relevant - debut episodes tend to be highly polished. All the more reason to enjoy the hilarious scenes and fine ensemble cast here."
[60] Some less favorable reviews were received from Brian Lowry of
Variety. Lowry said that "Despite her success with 'Mean Girls,' [Tina] Fey mostly hits too-familiar notes in the pilot. Moreover, she's a limited protagonist, which is problematic."
[61] Criticism was also received from Maureen Ryan of the
Chicago Tribune, who said that "
30 Rock is less than the sum of its parts, and, as an entry in the
single-camera comedy sweepstakes, it fails to show either the inspired inventiveness of
Arrested Development or provide the surprisingly perceptive character studies of
The Office."
[62] Metacritic gave the pilot episode a Metascore—a weighted average based on the impressions of a select thirty-one critical reviews—of 67 out of 100.
[63]
The season premiere of the second season, "
SeinfeldVision," which featured
Jerry Seinfeld,
[64] received mostly positive reviews. Jeff Labrecque of
Entertainment Weekly wrote that "
SeinfeldVision was a clever and ironic way to incorporate [Jerry] Seinfeld."
[65] Matt Webb Mitovich of
TV Guide said that "['SeinfeldVision'] was a solid start to the new, fought-for season" and that it did have "some great, great moments." Despite this praise, Webb Mitovich criticised Kenneth and Tracy's "office wife" storyline saying that "we've seen this shtick before on countless other sitcoms, so it was a bit empty and filled with 'easy' jokes." Criticism was also received regarding the "striped outfit... it didn't work. No," referring to a joke involving Jenna trying to distract the
TGS writers from her newly gained weight.
[66] Lisa Schmeiser of
Television Without Pity graded this episode as a "B+."
[67] Despite the mostly positive reviews, Alessandra Stanley of
The New York Times thought that "SeinfeldVision" "is mostly a reminder that even the most talented actors and writers sometimes slip under pressure."
[68] Days before the season premiere, Seinfeld was criticized as using his appearance in this episode as a plug for his upcoming
feature film Bee Movie. Seinfeld, NBC and
General Electric stated that this was done as
metahumor.

Similarly, the "Season finale" is the date that the final episode of the season aired.
