"Studio 60" is back tonight on NBC
Please watch it, 10/9 pm. Especially if you are between 24 and 49 :shrug:

And, seems that NBC is going an ABC by having the previous program ends at one minute after the hour..

1. I keep waiting for that show to get good
I loved Sorkin's previous work on The West Wing, but I'm having trouble getting into this show. My main problem is that I don't find myself caring one iota about most of the main characters and I really don't see the chemistry between Matt and Harriet and what makes either one of them as special as the show insists on pointing out every week.

Some of the characters that I do like are the new writers. I hope they get more airtime. I'll keep watching (and yes I am between 24 and 49) for the great quick-witted banter between the characters, if nothing else, but perhaps sadly, I won't get too choked up if the show does not get renewed.

6. I like when Christine Lahti was on
but I guess they're just making her a guest star - I thought there was more smart banter there than with the supposed two "couples". I still like the show - just think the show doesn't do too good for itself in such the distorted schedule.

I really like 30 Rock and wasn't expecting to like it at all.

7. I thought
the last new episode in December was when it finally started really working. I agree that Sorkin is pushing the Matt Harriet thing way too much - and there is no chemistry between the characters.

I'm still really looking forward to tonight. I'm hoping the new episodes resemble the last one and not the ones before it.

3. Aaron Sorkin is a genius. He writes state-of-the-art television.

I'm drunk on this program. It's powerful stuff.

5. They're re-running old episodes now on Bravo.
It's pretty damned good. This is probably the best I've seen a few of the cast ever act.

8. I loved that marathon Bravo ran yesterday
I stayed with it for about 3-4 hours and it reminded me of why I loved that show in the beginning. I'm definitely going to be tuning in tonight.

9. I liked the one episode I saw
I keep getting it confused with 30 Rock, though. (which I also liked. Compared to some of the lameness that passes for comedic dialogue these days, both are pretty good.)

10. YAAAAAAAAAY!!
I LOVE this show. LOVE IT.

And for those of you who are still trying to like it, rumor has it that we'll be getting more of a personal focus with Danny/Jordan and Matt/Harriet.

So tune in, damn it!
