Day 15 - Favorite female character
I had to think about this one for a while. There are a lot of bad-ass women on TV today (Glenn Close, Kyra Sedgwick, Holly Hunter, Connie Britton, etc.) but my favorite character that actually seems to separate herself from the actress who plays her is Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) on 30 Rock. I don't usually get to watch this show live, and sometimes you do wonder if Tina Fey is actually like Liz Lemon, but if you've ever seen Tina Fey accept an award or give an interview you can tell Tina Fey and Liz Lemon only look alike. Liz is the head writer for TGS (formerly known as The Girlie Show until Tracy Jordan arrived to spice ratings). She gets to spend her time managing the egos of Tracy, Jenna (Jane Krakowski), and negotiating craziness with Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin). However, she's so overwhelmed, she often gets caught in her craziness, like holding her bra together with tape. She's hilarious in her constant struggle to find a guy, self-esteem and to put on a show. I love watching her try. In this photo she's trying to get out of jury duty (it almost seems easier just to serve).

I almost said Liz too, but we don't watch the show regularly, so I'd feel like a liar. Tina and Liz are both amazing, just in totally different ways.
Yay Tina Fey! Liz Lemon rules! I love it when she mumble talks back to Jack.
