Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)
To those critiquing the sketch that opened the show-within-a-show but actually closed the episode: I actually wasn't looking for that sketch to make me laugh out loud; I think it was just a way to end it on an upbeat note.
Just the fact that they were able to put together a solid cold opening after a week of uncertainty after the previous week's producer meltdown, and the difficulty Matt had trying to think of a cold opening, was a real victory for the (fake) show. Not only that, it was the cast and crew's way to give a big FU to the religious fanatics protesting and the affiliates that refused to show the episode.
As referenced earlier, I also loved the part where they all start brainstorming the opening sketch. It was a lot like a sports movie, where the good-guy team starts to make its comeback.
Also, on this show, I can tell already, this is going to be one where I'm looking for very small scenes, with a classic line or dialogue here and there, that I will remember best. In the second one, I loved it near the end, when Cal tells Danny that something went out and they only have one camera for the opening. Danny sounds like he's about to erupt, and Cal goes "I'm just messing with you. Everything's fine." I think I'm really going to like this Cal character.
