30 Rock’s final episode After seven seasons, Tina Fey’s sitcom about the dysfunctional cast and crew of a sketch-comedy show is coming to an end. The final season has been an excellent return to form, and this week’s series finale promises to send the show out on a high note. January 31, 8 p.m., NBC.

Downtown Las Vegas Music Showcase What’s better about Life Is Beautiful’s first local-bands night—that the festival picked quality bands (Rusty Maples, American Cream, Same Sex Mary, Coastwest Unrest, Play for Keeps, The Perks) or that it’s free? Let’s call it a tie. February 6, 8 p.m., Artifice.

Eat

Free pancakes! Usually we roll our eyes at faux holidays, but National Pancake Day comes with hot, buttery flapjacks soaked in syrup. And they’re free, at IHOPs across the country, which are also encouraging guests to donate to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Breakfast with a side of good karma. February 5, 7 a.m.-10 p.m., various IHOP locations.
