Can't wait to miss that one.

So when are they going to be "daring" and do a skit offending Muslims?

[dfwgator]

I give the show three weeks, tops.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Too bad he doesn't have the courage of a Matt Stone or Trey Parker (South Park). Those guys did roughly the same plot already, only it was spineless TV executives afraid of offending "crazy Muslims."

[P-40]

you can tell 'em that living where there's free speech means sometimes you're gonna get offended."

You can say that to Christians...they won't cut your head off.

[BenLurkin]

Hollywierd versus America -- the beat goes on.

[prairiebreeze]

More NBC drivel I won't be wasting time on.

[gridlock]

As we all know, the biggest censorship story of the year has been the successful attempts by a small cadre of committed Fundamentalist Christians to get ABC to edit major portions of a docudrama days before it was to air.

[wastedyears]

That was a damn good episode.

[Walkingfeather]

Oh Let them do it. Obviously NBC still believes that Christians are not a financial powerhouse...They should ask rosie,Rosanne, Dan Rather, etc.

[Paradox]

Liberalism IS a religion.

[gridlock]

What this means is Sorkin -- and all the Sorkins in Hollywood -- are probably never going to write a daring, potentially offensive script with the concept of mocking "crazy atheists."

And you can be damn sure he'll never take on the "crazy Muslims"!

[infowarrior]

Hey, Sorkin! Do a skit like "Mad For Mohammed", then get back to me. You're a gutless punk, Sorkin, a real neutered wonder. You pick on Christians simply, and solely because they're a safe target. You are neither daring, nor innovative, merely one more tired hack doing what you tired hacks have been doing for decades...

Color me impressed (*NOT*!!)

He's come a long way from the episode of "Sports Night" where Felicity Huffman's character wanders into a church one day, and comes back telling everyone what a life changing experience it was, or the Christmas episode of that same show where a Jewish character decides to go to Midnight Mass because "they're going to sing songs and tell stories" and feels that is a worthwhile experience.

[MAexile]

Cowards! Like to see them do a "Crazy Muslims" skit.

[jude24]

"Second, you can tell 'em that living where there's free speech means sometimes you're gonna get offended."

You know what? Sorkin is right. Bozell reminds me of these Islamic fanatics, ready to go ape over the smallest perceived slight. As a Christian, Sorkin's critique rolls off my back - or it even rings true.

[BaBaStooey]

I was hoping that "Studio 60" would be another "Sports Night," because I really enjoyed that show and wish it was never cancelled. Now I am not so sure.

[ssaftler]

Are you nuts? This POS will be hyped up, trumped up and held up by NBC as long as it takes to "find its audience". Meanwhile, you can guarantee that Tony Shaloub has won his last "Best Actor in a Comedy" Emmy for a while, as the Holly-weird-o's will continue to trip all over themselves telling us how great a show this is.

[wideawake]

For Sorkin, spirituality was "a meditative thing that has to do with helping others and not waiting for it to come from a divine source."

He forgot to mention that, while you're meditating, you're supposed to snort coke.
