Running Studio 60 thread (spoilers)

a) "et tu, daisy" was my only laugh of the night, i think.

b) goodman was great, as usual -- not always, but usual.

c) i know the culture "wars" is the dominant social issue of our time, but is every episode about that? the friction between liberals and the religious right gets tiring, esp. when only rarely do they make a point worth noting.

d) how dumb was the "to be continued"? who wants to hang around for 2 hours to watch this mediocre storyline play out? nate corddry gets arrested, the suits act like the whole world is paying attention to the dumb tabloid headlines of some chris kattan wannabe ... i mean, really -- in what world are the second-tier stars of Saturday Night Live atop the gossip food chain? or alternately, in what world do the suits freak out about every little small item in the gossip rags? get over yourself, guys.

 

I enjoyed it. Looking forward to next week's episode. Watched it with my parents, and surprisingly, they enjoyed it.

I could now give a damn if I'm alone in liking this show (which I'm obviously not). I know that makes me arrogant. I don't care.

 

Jesus Christ that was a good episode!

Not that it takes that much away from the episode, but wouldn't the West Hollywood police have searched Tom's jacket before sending him off to BFE, Nevada?

And Goodman was money, as usual.

 

Missed this ep. It didn't get TIVOed. I didn't really care. I won't be bashing the show in this thread or anything - I just don't care about it like I thought I might.

 

Great show. But I'm going to miss it when it's gone.

 

It's an old saying in Hollywood and in D.C.: "If we've lost Point of Order, we've lost the country."

 

Hey, King Ralph was quality entertainment.

 

I also liked the line when Jeter asks what they all planned to do when they got there, followed by the chinese guy and his daughter talking excitedly. The Jeter deadpans, "You sent assassins?"

 

I liked the episode... I hope the show picks up the ratings, because I'll be pissed if it gets canceled...

 

"CSI: Miami," 10.6/17, claimed the lead for CBS at 10 p.m. The CMA Awards posted a 9.4/15, and NBC's "Studio 60" came in at 4.8/8.

"Heroes" pulled in 8.4/12.

 

I hope they at least try to change nights before they cancel it...

 

You're damn right you're not alone. That was one of the better hours I've seen lately ... of anything.

And now that Fox has moved "Justice" to 9 p.m. Monday, it makes a great 1-2 punch. I loves me some Victor Garber smarminess.
