Last Licks
Now that the TV season is over, there's not much to look forward to on network prime time. But Thursdays are must see for a few weeks longer while NBC burns off the final episodes of Studio 60.
Considering how weak their schedule is, it's too bad they couldn't pick up the show for one more year. I guess it was just too expensive. They're certainly right its audience wasn't going to grow--Studio 60 was the most talked about show of the season yet the viewers rejected it from the start. But I enjoyed it.
Somewhat ironically, the show's central theme was give the viewers quality and you'll succeed.
Meanwhile, the House finale ended on a strange note. All his staff either quit or was fired. I wouldn't call this a cliffhanger, exactly, but you do have to wonder how--or if--he'll get them back next season.

I enjoyed the first two episodes of Studio 60, but then stopped watching, mainly because it was clear that it wasn't going to show much if anything of the SNL-like skits that the cast supposedly was creating. I had been interested in seeing the show because last May I had toured the WB studios and they showed us the Studio 60 Sound Stage.
I thought MAD TV ha dit right in their spoof, where the characters were running around, congratulating themselves for the impact their show was having on things like curing AIDS and promoting World Peace. When you got down to it, Studio 60 was insufferably self-important (but well acted and written self-importance).
