The Bubble (episode) of 30 Rock (program)
Length 30 minutes, with commercials
Date 2009 March 19, first broadcast
Media television network, US, NBC Television Network
Additional The Bubble episode was broadcast on 30 Rock, a long-running sitcom, stars include Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, episode #15 season #3.
 The Bubble episode includes focus throughout this program on a particular good looking boyfriend of Liz, the Tina Fey character. He receives significant preferable treatment in all he does and everywhere he goes. Jack, the Alec Baldwin character comments that everyone knows, "pretty people are treated differently." Overall, this portion of this episode shows well the realities of physical attractiveness (PA) as part of the physical attractiveness phenomenon (PAP). A.V, Club image Comments by others: ...the doctor character played by guest star Jon Hamm, AKA Don Draper, is so good looking that he lives by an entirely different set of rules than everyone else. Women throw themselves at him, he’s treated with kindness and generosity everywhere he goes and…you get the picture. For Hamm, you see lives in “The Bubble”, a protective wall that protects the absurdly beautiful (and, one would imagine, the absurdly rich) from the insults and everyday humiliations of the ignorant, non-beautiful rabble. Jack Donaghy knows this firsthand as he used to live inside “The Bubble”. He shows Liz a picture of himself at twenty-five and she is suitably impressed. For Alec Baldwin at twenty-five wasn’t just handsome: he was downright beautiful, a walking God even. Liz’s reaction is a cartoon eye roll and sarcastic moan.
