Jenna's character development
Added DiffLines:
**One of the core aspects of Jenna's character is that she spends most of the show refusing to get older. She lies about her age and goes to extreme lengths not to appear older. Arguably, a lack of character development is in keeping with that. Having said that, she ''does'' change in the later series, which incidentally lines up with her actually starting to accept that she's getting older and can't pretend to be in her 20s forever.

** One episode has Jenna mention her feet being forced into tiny shoes so she could compete as a four-year-old when she was actually seven, so definitely the last one.

** Maybe he's a more complex character than you give him credit for. In any case, Jack is part of the corporate right, not the religious right. Several episodes make it clear that he was RaisedCatholic, but is no longer really religious. (And if he ''was'' still a practicing Catholic, then it's worth pointing out that the Vatican actually endorses the theory of evolution.)

* Why is Jenna so ambitious to star in TV movies and win Oscars and be a star. She stars on the equivalent of Saturday Night Live or since it premieres during weeknights, a more apt representation is the Dana Carvety. People on sketch comedy shows like SNL generally transition to being the third lead on a sitcom to getting bit roles in Will Ferrell, Bill Murray, or Adam Sandler movies? If she wanted to be a respected actress, why didn't she star on some TV procedural like Closer or The Good Wife?

** The show establishes that Liz and Jenna's friendship predates any real professional success for either of them, and that in their youth they were committed to succeeding together. Liz is the more intelligent, pragmatic, and cunning of the pair, which explains why the start of 30 Rock finds them in a set-up that's ideal for Liz and decidedly sub-par for Jenna. The dark take is that Jenna is '''right''' when she occasionally accuses Liz of sabotaging her. But a brighter take is that Jenna is '''such''' a flake that she would probably have permanently wrecked her career on her own and her association with Liz gives her a much-needed safety net.

** Why didn't Abby just tell Liz what was going on instead of doubling-down on how she just enjoys being slutty, now let's make out? Yes, it's not necessarily any of Liz's business, but it's not like Liz's knowing would have hurt anything, and could have prevented Liz's accidentally [[spoiler: revealing Abby's actual identity to her ex-husband.]]
