'30 Rock' premiere falls sharply; 'Vampire' rises (Tina Fey epic fail)

Where's Sarah Palin when you need her?

The fourth-season premiere of NBC's Emmy-winning "30 Rock" was down a steep 27% in the adult demo from last fall, when star Tina Fey was generating national buzz for her "Saturday Night Live" parody of the Republican veep candidate.

"30 Rock" returned to 6.3 million viewers and a 3.0 rating among adults 18-49, falling 25% from its "Office" lead-in.

Meanwhile, ABC's "FlashForward" (9.1 million, 3.1) stopped its ratings descent, reversing for the first time to climb a tenth of a point. ABC just picked up the drama for a full season, so this apparent settling should come as a relief for the network.

ABC's fortunes shifted at 9 p.m., with the evening's top-rated show "Grey's Anatomy" (13.6 million, 4.9) dropping 9%, and for the fourth week in a row, to post its lowest rating ever. Despite its falling lead-in, "Private Practice" (10.4 million, 3.9) was up 8% (though there's a minute of "Grey's" overrun in there helping a tad).

That is why Fey is talking about reviving her Palin impersonation. Fey is bottom feeding scum.

Tina Fey spreads controversy and division. Television should be unifying. /s

Tina Fey is nothing more then a liberal media whore, a cheap imitation. She wishes she were half as classy as Sarah Palin. Sarah has CLASS, Tina is an ASS

One of the actresses on that series is the daughter of a college friend of mine. (She’s mentioned it on FAcebook.)
