'30 Rock' scores zero rating in Germany
OK, isn't this cherry picking a routine overseas debut of a U.S. series for sensational effect? You betcha!

In its debut on German television Sunday night, Emmy-winning comedy "30 Rock" scored a 0.0 rating, meaning fewer than 5,000 viewers tuned in.

Why 30 Rock Got a Zero Rating in Germany
It's hard enough for some Americans to make sense of 30 Rock's specific cultural references (Ann Curry's pent-up rage, Lou Dobbs' Immigration agenda, and Ann Coulter, to name just a few) so it's understandable that the charm of Tina Fey's...

Germany Hates Tina Fey
Apparently Tina Fey’s jokes fall flat in Germany. Her Emmy-winning show 30 Rock premiered to a disastrous 0.0 rating in the country on Sunday night.
