It couldn't happen to a nicer guy (Sorkin). It also looks as though The Curse of Peet continues. Seemingly, any TV show/movie she's associated with tanks.
I'm cursed!

CBS had a short-lived series about a professional burglar called "Smith." I missed the first show, saw the second show twice...
To: edpc
I don't watch TV so I can't remember where I saw a trailer for this show (probably in the break room at work) but, it looked so incredibly stupid that I actually remembered the name.
To: edpc
Here is my assessment of the show. It's 100 times better then 30 Rock. How is that for a ringing endorsement ?

The previews of it looked great and I was looking forward to watching it. I didn't even make it through the first episode. It was horrible.

I believe "Smith" holds the record for the first new show of the season to be cancelled. I think that I must be the only person who watched the premiere and you and I are the only ones who watched the second.
My wife likes "Shark", and I admit I enjoy James Woods's over-the-top character. Though they could lose the daughter and I wouldn't mind.

Too bad. It is a good concept with a lot of possibilities. I've enjoyed it. The acting is crisp and the storylines are unique. The Long Tail strikes again.

Once,the networks produced Playhouse 90,The Honeymooners, Perry Mason and MASH.
Today,the best they can come up with is Survivor.
The networks lost me as a viewer 20 years ago.I can't,for the life of me,see how they could ever win me back.

I noticed the reviewer endorsed Brothers and Sisters. As of last week I'm done watching that show, don't need to watch any gay angst. I thought that was over after Ellen's show.

Oh well, 24 will be on in January...

Haven't seen it. It was touted as " must see " , " smart " , etc.. blah blah blah..
I did watch SKELETONS ON THE SAHARA last night on the History Channel.
One heck of a story.

I liked her in "Saving Silverman".

Maybe NBC can replace it with The Book of Daniel.
Isn't Geena Davis available, too?

Thou shalt not bash Christians and expect high ratings in the heartland. Some network executive (I predict) will be quoted as follows: "In retrospect, Studio 60 could have been a success, but we held back too much. If we had bashed Christians more, I think it would have taken off. I do have a new show in development ..."

If you're looking for a guy guaranteed to help your show jump the shark, Ted McGinley is your man. He's been on at least two Aaron Sorkin shows--Sports Night and West Wing--and he has a long history of signalling the end of the line. Looks like he didn't even get a chance to help put this one in its grave.

I thought that was over after Ellen's show. Weren't they trying to get her another sitcom? I heard one was in the works well over a year ago.
I watched the first episode of Studio 60 and looked in on a couple. They try the we're not bashing Christians angle so much that they actually are. I don't see where they're going with this idea which had limited possibilities from the start.

My wife likes "Shark", and I admit I enjoy James Woods's over-the-top character. Though they could lose the daughter and I wouldn't mind. One of the few new TV shows worth watching. Wood's character manages to be both edgy and engaging, a bit like 'House'. Give the daughter time. I think she provides a good opportunity to humanize Shark's character, like Kim in '24'.

I watched one night of this show. I waited...and waited for something - anything - interesting, or funny to happen.
There was nothing worth watching. A bunch of character talking to each other very quickly because they were trying to beat deadlines. One character pining over the female comedian - boring.
Everything about the show was boring.
I don't think cancellation had anything to do with christian bashing - other shows have done that and succeeded - but those shows were interesting.
This was a big boring turkey of a show.
