Thu, 24 May 2007 14:41:13 +0000 http://moviehawk.net/2006/09/27/funny-business/#comment-18763 [...] Early this television season, I quickly embraced Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and praised it as one of the best shows around. Aaron Sorkin responded by getting preachier than an Oblate at a Desperate Housewives convention, and NBC responded by yanking the show from the air, refusing to renew it, and telling fans they could see their precious final six episodes when they were done with the 145th season of ER. That night is tonight, and I have to tell you…I’m not really all that excited. Perhaps it’s because Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds’ End comes out tonight, and perhaps it’s because I’m still getting over last night’s episode of LOST, but I’m not ready to get sucked back into this show, knowing that it won’t be back next year. Of course, I’ll watch the last six installments if I’m home or on tape if I’m out, but I’m not pacing my living room waiting to see what happened to Danny and Matt. [...] [...] Early this television season, I quickly embraced Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and praised it as one of the best shows around.

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 16:26:52 +0000 http://moviehawk.net/2006/09/27/funny-business/#comment-1911 [...] Yes, I know that NBC committed to running a whole season, and yes, I still am a shameless promoter of the show and all things Sorkin, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the folks over at Throwing Things are right and we’ve seen the last of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Ratings have steadily declined over the past several weeks, and even the staunchest supporters of the show have grown weary of the fact that this show could be summed up as “Hey, did you know Aaron Sorkin dated Kristin Chenoweth and that it didn’t go well?” On a wider scale, the general public has had a difficult time being berated for any number of things, from watching reality television to being Republican.

I love it. Love. Aaron Sorkin for '08! No, but really, glad to see you reviewing this. I was going to do it myself, but this is good. “Josh lost his White House press conference skills…”
