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.

That said, there have been plenty of fantastic moments over the short run of Studio 60, last night’s comedy-rich episode among them. My personal favorite remains the Christmas episode, which laid low on preaching and focused on characters. Comments are welcome; let’s just hope this isn’t an Irish wake for a fabulous show. Then again, there’s always a second life on DVD. Think Sorkin’ll produce a few straight-to-video seasons if NBC cancels it and we ask nicely?
