It's finally back! Weeks of torment have finally ended, and the splendiferous days of watching new episodes of "30 Rock" have returned. But watching it alone in your apartment? That's a deal-breaker, ladies.

Instead pull your pals together for a party worthy of the whole "TGS" cast.

The Invite

Let friends know you're setting your TiVo by pulling a Kenneth and passing out old-school paper invitations. (The stellar page favors cupcake-shaped invites.)

The Dress Code
The costume ideas are infinite, so encourage guests to dress up, from regular cast members (friends coming straight from work can quickly change suits into a page uniforms with the addition of DIY NBC pins) to the characters from TGS skits (Bear Robot Talk Show, anyone?) to interpretive costumes (why not come as an attendee of Tracy's "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah"?). Just be sure you have at least one person wearing a tux if it's after 6 p.m., because -- to paraphrase Jack Donaghy -- you aren't farmers.


Decor
Instead of just general writer's room decor, focus on one of the fantastic fêtes from seasons past. From Austrian prince Gerhardt's birthday party to Devon Bank's bachelor party there have been plenty of parties you can take a clue from. You could attempt to re-create Kenneth's raucous party (if you're looking for make-outs and ruined plumbing), or choose a quiet evening of fondue. At the very least pump a suspicious maple syrup smell into your house, and blame it on your terrorist neighbor.

Food
Getting Sabor de Soledad will be impossible (and your friends won't appreciate the false positive pregnancy tests), so opt for regular Cheetos. Serve up authentic teamster sandwiches (any sammie shrouded in butcher paper and mystery) that will have your guests nearly missing reconciling with their lost love at the airport. Fill out the rest of your spread with the usual TV watching foods (nearly any pre-packaged food would be Lemon-approved). Just remember not to serve any warm drinks, as we learned from Kenneth, as hot liquids are the devil's temperature.

Activities
Obviously you'll be watching the show, but be sure to have a couple of "best of" episodes on hand. Netflix or DVR your favorites for extended viewing, and have trivia if you really want to geek out. If you're more hands-on, why not play a little poker? The only thing you have to lose is your page jacket ... but something tells us you'll get it back.
