Did any of you ever figure out what Studio 60... was about?

There was some good stuff there, but it seemed very muddled and confused about itself.

Could the fact that it was cancelled, and 30 Rock is winning awards be proof of the absence of god?

In my opinion, S60 was the perfect show for HBO. With all the hype it received, NBC made it out to be some kind of savior show for the network, and they just didn't have time to let the show and characters develop. The early episodes were weak on plot and strong on character development, but networks no longer have time to let shows "get their feet." Great shows like Seinfeld and Cheers would have never become blockbuster hits today because they didn't deliver ratings from Day One.

I thought that the last five or six episodes on S60 were some of the best written television of that season. Unfortunately, by that time, no one was watching the damn thing.

1) Studio 60 featured some great writing and many fine performances but it's downfall was, as you so well point out, is lack of a cohesive approach.

2) Are you saying that you don't think much of 30 Rock? If so, there we difffer. Tina Fey is a fine, quirky comedy writer. Alec Baldwin's character's explanation that he came up the hard way working himself through school by "working the day shift at the graveyard and the graveyard shift at the Days Inn" from last week's episode is, to me, one good example.

At the end of each of the last few episodes of Studio 60 the members of the POW family would look at each other and say "and they're gonna cancel this".

i'm thinking of starting a new network, and I'm not going to "develop" and new shows. I'm just going to put on the shows from the other networks that "never found their auidence".

Well, you're just going to have to wrestle away the Kenny Rogers vehicle "MacShayne" from the Hallmark Channel then.

I haven't followed SNL for many many years, so I'm really not that familiar with her work there, but she definitely doesn't interest me to much on 30 Rock. Neither do most of the other characters. Baldwin is the only reason I sit through 30 Rock at all, that, and theres nothing else on after The Office, well PBR and UFC sometimes, or Poker. Last night I opted for a Soprano's rerun On Demand though, mostly cause I just don't dig Oprah.

Isn't there already a cable channel thats been running short lived but outstanding shows?

A13 - Me thinks that you are the only one who gets to watch that for which you yearn.

There really has to be an idea here somewhere - an Internet, YouTube-type site that only features canceled-in-their-prime programming. It would be like "Nick at Night" before that became the "All Will Smith" channel. How much could the royalties be on these otherwise "crappy" TV shows?

All we need is some of that easy-to-find start-up capital. In this market, someone's sure to take a chance on this goofy scheme.

she seems to be pretty flush with the cash these days.

I see her as more of a "Dallas" fan. Or maybe "Mannix"

Mannix? I think that was a little deep for her. She seems more like a TJ Hooker type to me.
