Quote of the Day (Rob Sheffield on Tina Fey, ‘Oprah With Librarian Glasses’)

“As ’30 Rock’ gets off to a rip-roaring start this season, the question looms larger than ever: Is Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon the most bizarrely nonimitated sitcom character of our time? It’s a mystery that gets stranger as Fey keeps blowing up as a cultural icon. Given how she’s turned into such a fiercely revered, identified-with, hero-worshipped presence, you’d think someone would at least try to duplicate the formula. At this point, she’s practically Oprah with librarian glasses.”—Rob Sheffield, “Television: She’s Gonna Make It After All,” Rolling Stone, March 1, 2012
