1. bummed about Studio 60 but not surprised - it was Aaron Sorkin
boilerplate. Enjoyable but not original.

Strangely looking forward to "Thank God You're Here."

2. I didn't think Studio 60 had been cancelled...yet
Most of the NBC dramas are on hiatus. Heroes, ER, Studio 60. I thought it was returning shortly, no?

9. Indefinite hiatus but it may come back in the summer for a finale

It was very expensive to make (with Perry's salary alone) something like $2 Million an episode.

5. I can't understand 30 Rock's low ratings....
That show is hilarious. Baldwin is a hoot.

I'm just glad they kept it.

8. Baldwin is hilarious but it goes head-to-head-to-head with CSI and Grey's Anatomy
minus whatever is on all the other TV stations.

CSI has been the NUMERO UNO Television show for the last 4 or 5 years.

10. And that's the rub...
Edited on Thu Apr-05-07 12:02 PM by Hobarticus
How many crime dramas are enough? They're all the same. And I can't stand Grey's Anatomy. I know I'm way in the minority, but I just don't get it.

Too bad, I really think 30 rock is great TV.
