Guess in Which Country the Debut of '30 Rock' Got a Zero Rating??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We're willing to take the high road here and blame this one on lousy distribution and promotion.

The debut of "30 Rock" in Germany on Sunday night pulled a 0.0 rating, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That means less than 5,000 viewers tuned in, THR says.

According to the report: "asking Germans to laugh is never easy, but the debut was below even the lowest forecasts of broadcaster ZDFNeo. The digital niche channel, which is run by pubweb ZDF, had made "30 Rock" the flagship in its new relaunch, promising more cutting-edge programming for a younger demographic."

I guess they aren't Alec Baldwin fans.

I wonder if the comedy got lost in the translation? Some shows translate into other languages and cultures better than others. Maybe 30 Rock is one of those that doesn't translate well.
