The pilot didn’t get picked up because although “30 Rock” won lots of Emmys, it never made a dime for NBC because the ratings were so terrible.
“30 Rock” bombed in syndication, too, so no chance to recoup there.
Fox knows this. Tina Fey is demonstrably not a TV star.
When she hosts an awards show, she gets numbers. She should stick to that.
I’m watching 30 Rock now on Netflix streaming. It is hilarious. Fey is one of the very few liberals who can make fun of herself and her liberal belief system.
