Studio 60 taken out and put down
Two weeks after we gave up on it entirely, Studio 60 is going away for good. I'd really hoped this would be good, and at first it was...but man, if you are writing a show about a comedy show, can't it occasionally be funny? Shouldn't the characters at least sort of seem like they could be funny people? Shouldn't the rare glimpses of the fictional show feel a bit realistic? The whole thing felt like a show about TV by someone who didn't actually watch TV And the characters romances just seemed like excuses for "witty" "banter". The last straw was the "flashback" episode to 6 years ago--lookee the oldee fashioned laptops!--it was just cringe-inducing.
