Studio 60': Say Goodbye to a Sure Thing (NBC cancels Leftie Aaron Sorkin's show)

Okay, someone post a picture of Fey, with or without her cloth—, er, reading glasses.

[Thrownatbirth]

Maybe the show made more sense on shrooms.

[Theresawithanh]

I’ve never even heard of this show. Doesn’t matter, I wouldn’t have watched it anyway...

[muir_redwoods]

I own 5 TV’s and never heard of this show.

[gcruse]

I only watch 30 Rock for Tina and her writing. Frankly, I’m surprised the show was renewed, but happy for her. If Baldwin bails, the show will fail, sinking under the weight of Tracy Morgan.

This was a good show. Too bad. The ode to Cleveland was great last week, as was Tina on the street in NYC. Always watched “The Office” and “Studio 60”. Why the inane “Scrubs” is still on the air is beyond comprehension (and was the subject of a funny “MadTV” parody last weekend).

[montag813]

I meant 30 Rock is a great show, not Studio 60.

[FreedomNeocon]

I’ve also avoided that lame “30 rock” despite loving the shows before / after it for the same reasons.

Alec Bladwin and that bitch Tina Fey on one show?!? No thanks.

Hope that turd gets canned as well.

[FreedomNeocon]

Fey is a huge HUGE lib.

I mean bigger than Huffinton in the NY circuit... she didn’t get on Times “most influential” list by accident.

In NY she is queen bee of the crazy kooks and ISN’T shy about injecting it into her projects.

30 Rock...

Isn’t that that show about the aliens with John Lithgow?

[gcruse]

Good for her. She’s sharp, bright and edgy.

[FreedomNeocon]

I woudln’t know... I make a point to turn it off right when I see it starting.

It doesn’t even get a chance with me... same with Moral Oral.

And I’m glad Tina is bright... just like sKerry and Kennedy are ‘bright’. She is a political ‘comedian’, and thats fine... just like the enjoys the benefits from that, she also gets the baggage.

[gcruse]

It’s not like she’s on Air America, FN. Lighten up.

[FreedomNeocon]

I watched way too much SNL and her “Weekend Update” slots... and read way to much about how much control she had on those slots (the ones that were particular partisan liberal) to ever be able to take her as anything other than a political comedian.

Like I said.. thats fine for her if thats what she wants to be, but along with it is the utter refusal for me to even give 30 rock a chance.

Doesn’t mean others can’t watch it or that it will fail... only that I turn it off and haven’t watched a single episode, nor will I for as long as it happens to last.

Having Alec Baldwin on as another “main character” isn’t helping either.

[mimaw]

Air America, NBC one in the same.

[reegs]

Tina in her glasses... and more:

[altura]

I really, really wanted to like this show, even from the West Wing guy. I like Matthew Perry and it sounded like a fun premise.

It was a disaster from the first. Perry was ill used and surly most of the time, wasting his natural charm.

It never seemed to know where it was going and the snippets from the so-called comedy show that was being produced were beyond not funny.

It seems like they could have done something neat with that concept but .... I stuck with it for 3 or 4 episodes and that was it.

[REDWOOD99]

That would be one fun girl to argue politics with.

“The ill-conceived drama about a comedy sketch show wasn’t funny or tense, it was simply annoying.”

Al Franken had complete creative control, eh?
