LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - NBC's network television spoof "30 Rock" won the Emmy Award as best comedy series for a second straight year on Sunday.

The show-within-a-show, named for NBC's actual street address in Manhattan's Rockefeller Center, initially struggled to find an audience despite critical praise but gained viewers this past season after its 2007 Emmy victory.

Starring "Saturday Night Live" veteran Tina Fey as the harried head writer of a TV variety show, "30 Rock" prevailed over the 2006 best-comedy winner, "The Office," also from NBC, as well as the bawdy CBS hit "Two and a Half Men" and a pair of HBO nominees -- "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Entourage."
