    I dont think this episode lived up to its predecessor. It couldn't quite keep up with the pace and writing of the last episode, so it felt kind of anti climatic.....to me anyway. I guess i just had really high hopes after watching episode 7.

    I am glad the show is back from its break, but it seems like the show is turning into a romance comedy with three different characters pairing up. I really like the drama with the backdrop of a comedy show, but the relationship aspects (except for Matt and Christian girl b/c that one has been in the mix since episode 1) seem a bit forced...well, really forced when it comes to Danny (stalker anyone?) and Amanda Peet from NBS.
    I do like the whole news censorship story line but it too feels a little bit forced. It is as if the writers are throwing story lines against the wall and is looking to see what sticks...
    I hope the show finds its niche and gets back on track with some good character development and drama.
    Currently watching: One Piece, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi,
    The 12 Kingdoms, and Soukou no Strain (kinda)

    Anyone watched tihs weeks episode? I thought this was pretty good, with the 15 year old winning the date. I think Danny and Jordan are going to end up together after this, and Matt and Christian girl are going nowhere. The Chinese girl is one huge slut, reminds me of a Las Vegas episode with two hot daughters making sluts out of themselves. Can't wait to see what Matt says when presenting his love the award.

    Man i absolutely loved this episode. Has to be one of the best of the season imo. I was getting worried the past few weeks cuz studio 60 had lost the witty charm of the first few eps, but this episode brings it all back, and then some.

    The whole deal with cal and the animals was hilarious, and danny/jordan on the roof was great as well. It was good to see matt struggle with the punchline and get all worked up about harriet. The tom/jack/kim trio was awesome as well. i love how the writers brought all the elements to a close without comprimising the quality even a bit.

    I agree, this was a great episode, but I haven't had any complaints from the previous episodes either. These last 2 or 3 episodes remind me of the 2-3 part story episodes of The West Wing, they always were the best episodes in the series.

    Assassin, you were worried for the lack of witty charm because there was actually some drama and arguments going on. It's very hard to write these witty quick dialogues when the characters are fighting with each other, and that's pretty much what's been happening on the last couple of episodes. But Aaron Sorkin should still be writting the scripts, so those fun dialogues should be back fairly soon. Now, when Sorkin leaves the series to work on another project, then you should worry about it (last couple of seasons of The West Wing suffered because of his abscense).

    I just recently started catching up on Studio 60 and I'm loving it but than some bad news came :
    On February 13, 2007, NBC Entertainment president, Kevin Reilly, announced that the network will pull "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" one week earlier than planned, leaving the spot for "The Black Donnellys."
    Now its on hiatus/TBD but hopefully it comes back soon and won't get cancelled.

    NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

    god dammit, those fucking network pricks. studio 60 is one of the best shows on the air rite now. it better not get cancelled. fucking retard american public, they'd rather watch some skank in a bikini on yet another crappy reality show then a smart, well directed comedy show, cuz that makes thier tiny brains hurt.

    ironically this is exactly the type of thing jordan doesn't like either. why can't kevin rielly be more like her.

    i hope theres some kind of pettition to keep studio 60 going.

    Rather than blaming the American public (though they are partly responsible), I blame the current rating system the networks are using to base their decisions.

    I still think that Nielsen Ratings are not good enough to rate a show, especially when it's largely influenced by the Hawthorne Effect. If you don't know that means, then it simply means that subjects that are being studied alter their behavior since they know they are being studied and/or observed.

    I recently read a new story about the President of Showtime, and the direction he's taking the network to. It gave me hope on network executives doing the right thing, hopefully other networks will follow the example. Here's a portion that I found interesting:

    He also emphasizes that ratings aren't the primary factor in what drives him to renew or cancel a show. Because the premium network isn't beholden to advertisers, Greenblatt also takes into consideration critical acclaim and kudos, which led to a second-season pickup of the critically praised but low-rated drama Brotherhood.

    "For us, it's a matter of having a great lineup of shows that (subscribers) want to spend money on," he says.

    Just watched the final 6 episodes of the series. As pissed off as I was with it being cancelled, the final episodes were nice. They tied up every loose end in the series, and had a truely good ending. So at the least, I'm very satisfied with how they ended it... it was a true ending, not one of those cliffhanger season finales.

    Indeed, it really gave a sense of closure. which just makes this series that much better. i wanna get the season on dvd.....anyone know when (or if) it comes out?
