STUDIO 60 IF MORE EPISODES WERE LIKE THIS

The episode that aired on 2/19 was probably the swan song for the troubled NBC drama "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip". A talented cast and one of the best writers who ever worked on Television, created a show that was well made but somehow the show a semi disaster.

Some say the show became a mess from the 2nd episode. I can see why people would think this.

The show within the show premise was a good idea but some how the show within the show is called "Studio 60" a "Saturday Night Live Type Show", However when we see the "Studio 60" it came across like a very bad TV show. The actors on the show playing actors on "Studio 60" seemed like cartoon characters.

Even the Christian Lady seemed like a "Hollywood's Idea of a conflicted Christian".

That episode had a sketch that was performed however the man who wrote the sketch stole it from a stand up comic.

Aaron Sorkin should of done more research on what goes behind the scenes of "Saturday Night Live". He should of hired people who did write for that show. Maybe then the show might of worked. "30 Rock" which is also on NBC works because all of the creative talent did work at "SNL". Aaron Sorkin should of done more research before he wrote a show based on the surroundings of "SNL"

For all of "Studio 60'S" short comings the last episode went out with a bang. It was the best episode since "The Pilot". The show had a few great laughs and some great serious moments as well. The show finally seemed to be working. Now its on hiatus which is code word for "canceled". The shows ratings were going from bad to worse. Can't blame NBC for that the show was on its 2nd chance.

The show was almost yanked off the air earlier this season. NBC was stalling ordering a full season. Aaron Sorkin knew that this was a bad sign. So he approached NBC to get a full season commitment out of the network.

NBC gave it a full season pick up by telling Warner Brothers Television and Aaron Sorkin to "Try to focus "Studio 60" on romance".

I disagree what NBC told the producers. The producers should of stuck with the politics of show business. The "How they met episode was dreadful".

If NBC cancels the show I can't blame them. The show never lived up to its promise even before the Networks "creative" interference. However after some time the suggestive adjustments that NBC asked for the show seemed to working. But its a case of being a little too late.
