Lorne Michaels can pat himself on the back this morning -- "30 Rock" has been renewed.

The creator of "Saturday Night Live" did not want NBC to greenlight Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," the self-important drama based on his 30-year-old late-night sketch comedy program. He forced the network to buy a comedy from his own production company about "SNL."

Michaels was right; they were wrong. Yesterday, NBC announced that "30 Rock" was coming back in the fall. Sometime this week they will also announce that "Studio 60" is gone.
