"Dance Like Nobody's Watching" is the first episode of the sixth season of the American television comedy series ''30 Rock'', and the 104th overall episode of the series. It was directed by John Riggi, and written by series creator, executive producer and lead actress Tina Fey and Tracey Wigfield. The episode originally aired on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) network in the United States on January 12, 2012. Guest stars in this episode include John McEnroe, Tituss Burgess and the New York Liberty Timeless Torches dance team. In the episode, Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) enjoys her new cultural relevance as a judge on a reality show; Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) struggles to reconcile the way the show ridicules children with his status as a father; Jack and Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) investigate why Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) is in such an uncharacteristically good mood; and Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) awaits the rapture while the others ridicule him. Before the airing, NBC moved the program to a new timeslot at 8:00 p.m., moving it from its 10:00 p.m. slot. This episode of ''30 Rock'' received generally positive reviews from television critics. According to Nielsen Media Research, it was watched by 4.47 million households during its original broadcast, and received a 1.8 rating/5 share among viewers in the 18–49 demographic. ==Plot== NBC's new reality show, ''America's Kidz Got Singing'', features small children participating in a singing contest. Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) is delighted with her new infamy as the judge that humiliates each of the children after their performance. Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) is delighted with the show's high ratings, but as a new father feels guilty about mistreatment of the children. After a disastrous attempt to change Jenna's behavior on the show, Jack confers with his one-year-old daughter, and willfully misinterprets Liddy's first word, "mommy," as "money," an indication of her desire to continue with the show as-is. Meanwhile, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) is in an unusually good mood after the holiday break, showing good humor and refusing to overreact to the shenanigans of Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan). This alarms all of her coworkers. Tracy investigates, and observes her picking up LSD Tabs from a man on the street near Penn Station. He concludes that she is a "crack whore" and takes his evidence to Jack. Jack and Tracy discover that Liz is dancing for the Timeless Torches WNBA dance team. Jack confronts her after a performance and gloats over his complete knowledge of Liz. He then drops her off at a movie theater, and is shocked to secretly observe her meeting up with a man with whom she is evidently in a secret relationship. Finally, Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) spends the day doing all the chores around the office that he had always fantasized about doing, after his pastor predicts that the Rapture is coming the next day. The ''TGS'' writers are highly amused and tease him mercilessly, even playing along and pretending to have seen signs of the rapture's approach. However, when the rapture doesn't occur, Kenneth is disappointed, so the writers take pity on him (at first unsuccessfully trying to convince him that the Rapture is actually happening) and take him to Coney Island to see the ocean, which he had admitted to never seeing before. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dance Like Nobody's Watching (30 Rock)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
