“Hot Streak” only did 13 weeks in the US (not a big surprise, given it was airing against TPIR and WOF), but it was a 12-year hit in Germany as “Ruck Zuck,” has also done nicely in Greece, and had staying power in Russia and Indonesia.
“Child’s Play” is another that has been drastically more successful in overseas markets, especially Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands, than the 52-week original would lead one to think.
