BENCHED!

Not cancelled. Yet. What kinda odds are we lookin' at here?

I dunno, kids. I've always had a "love/hate" relationship with Aaron Sorkin's shows. Parts of Studio 60 are interesting, even compelling, particularly anything involving Steven Weber and Ed Asner, but my biggest problem with the show has been it's failure at nuance. Soapbox speeches from out of nowhere, misguided one-sided arguments in the guise of debate, creepy stalker-like ideas about romantic love, the fucking snake/ferret/coyote thing, in the end Studio 60 is just too stupid about how smart it is (or wants to be).

Here's a pretty funny parody I found called Stall 60 on the Sunset Strip.
