NBC's new promo: should it be "Tina" or "Liz?"

I'm agree...
Now we can see David Duchovny is his autobiography "Californication" LOL

it's not a tv show...it's real life :P

"Tina" isn't as big of a mistake as calling Parks & Recreation a hit.

Yeah, that's a total frak up. No chance they did it on purpose.

Think you're giving them too much credit, sounded like a mistake to me!

Did NBC refer to Bill Cosby's character as "Heathcliff" of "Bill" in promos back in the 80s?

Maybe if another actor got named in the promo you'd have a point but since she's the only one and the other instance of a name was the name of the whole show ("...on Earl") this whole post is a moo point (tm Joey).

But I get it. Matthew Perry can't be the adult version of Zac Efron.

And you're old.

I agree that the line between the character and the actor is getting increasingly blurred. As the audience becomes an increasingly key part of television to connectivity and the importance of fan conventions and grassroots initiatives their connections with the actors become stronger. When this happens ultimately the line between actor and character become less clear.

I noticed that the first time I saw it, and I think in this particular case, and maybe only this case, it make sense for these reasons -
1) Since last fall, Tina Fey has been kind of an "it girl", and mentioning her by name specifically might help bring in more audience
2) Tina has made it no secret that Liz Lemon is heavily based on herself, and the line between Liz and Tina is very blurry. Unlike, for example, Michael Scott and Steve Carrel or Jack D and Alec Baldwin.

however, I do think it would make more sense if they had just said Liz.....

I've only seen an episode or two - but they really should've just named the character Tina Fey. I mean Tracy Morgan plays Tracy Morgan, why couldn't Tina play "herself" too?
