Studio 60

Aaron Sorkin, Just Because

July 17, 2007

"Studio 60" is done, but this near-valentine in the Los Angeles Times indicates that he still doesn't know what he did.

Goodbye, "Studio 60"

June 29, 2007

Are we done? Please, please, tell me that's it. …

Yeah, Yeah, "Studio 60"

June 3, 2007

As you may have realized from a previous post, this has been a weekend of family business, so it was only this evening that I finally got to "Studio 60" …

Oh, Yeah, "Studio 60"

May 25, 2007

NBC began burning off the remaining episodes last night. Pretty painful spectacle. I'll expand on that thought later.

"Studio 60" Back, Sort Of

April 30, 2007

TVtattle.com notes that NBC.com has posted a return date for "Studio 60": May 24. Tattle notes that's the day after the May sweeps end. It's also after NBC announces its schedule for Fall 2007. Bad signs all around.
Of course, the show's fans will be happy. But if NBC was interested in making fans of dead [...]

Celebrity Waiter?

January 30, 2007

I managed to sit through last night's "Studio 60" (as well as the last 15 minutes or so of "24" which is NBA-like in holding the real drama until the clock is ticking down). Mostly a snooze, once again no point to a two-parter. But I did perk up at the reference to [...]

Monday by the Numbers: "24," "Studio 60"

January 23, 2007

Caught up with "24" yesterday and this morning, and I have to say the absurdity of it is so brazen that I'm almost amused. As near as I could tell, exactly one southern California street was clogged by panic-stricken drivers. Jack's own driving attempts, as well as those of other characters, for the most part [...]

The Fourth-Best "Studio 60" To Date

October 10, 2006

An especially big mess for "Studio 60" in what, if I'm counting correctly, is its fourth telecast — hence the title of this post.
Are we really supposed to believe that Harriet didn't know that was the baseball star's phone number? (And why does Sorkin insist on giving strong women a dumb streak?) Are we really [...]

"Studio 60" Again

October 3, 2006

Here's where I get a little crazed: Last night, it was about 11 p.m. when the bride and I got back from the screening of "The Departed," and I just couldn't relax. Too much Diet Coke at the movie — it was in one of those cups you could float a paper sailboat across — [...]

"Studio 60": Now That You've Seen the Second Episode…

September 26, 2006

… here's the question: Did the cold open live up to the hype? I mentioned before that I didn't think it was all that good, and I still don't think so. I mean, an edgy and contemporary show — and it supposedly wows the crowd with a riff from Gilbert & Sullivan? That cuts [...]
