Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

being part 2 of 3 it was what I expected drama wise. I was not expecting the rant at the press at the end.

I'm not really happy with this 3 parter. I can kind of see why NBC didn't want to show them in the spring. This is really moving the show away from its comedy premise and going all West Wing on the viewer. While the show in general is good, if Sorkin wanted to a world affairs show he should have gone with something more relevant (Like the UN drama pitched durring Studio 60).

I was really hoping part 3 of three would have some sort of conclusions.

That kind of surprised me as well. Silly to call it a three part episode when the story started one episode before and doesn't end with part three of three.

I'm a little torn about the show at this point. I like it where there is an element of drama mixed into the show, but these past few episodes have been getting a little heavy with the drama. My wife stopped at one point last night and said, "wasn't this show more of a comedy before?"

And I'm not liking episodes that don't have a conclusion because I figure at some point they are just going to stop airing any more and I hate being left hanging.

I thought it was a four-parter. In fact, I'm almost certain that I read that back when the first episode was aired.

They're doing a good job with the last couple episodes of ensuring that I won't miss it when its gone. Too bad, because while I disliked West Wing, I loved Sports Night and was digging this until now.

I guess I missed that, being that I catch the show online, apparently. They need to straighten out their online set up for this week, too. It's missing the finale of the third part.

I thought it was a four-parter. In fact, I'm almost certain that I read that back when the first episode was aired.

And the plot thickens.

The birth and Tom's brother story lines started with "Breaking News." We have just completed K & R parts I, II and III and next week the episode is called "What Kind of Day Has It Been," which is supposed to bring an end to the day, and hopefully its crises. I believe this is going to be the final episode unless NBC decides to bring it back midseason 2008.

And then the final episode was aired. I'm just pleased they were able to wrap it all up and even though it was a predictable Hollywood ending there is closure.

 

[Thornir Alekeg]

Yep, it was good to at least not be left hanging in the middle of a story (Do you hear me FOX and Drive!).

Here's hoping Sorkin can find something else to inspire him. I hope this time he stays away from the media as his focus since it seems that most people don't want to watch a TV show about TV shows. I don't want to prematurely lose a third show of his I really enjoyed, like Sports Night and Studio 60.
