Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip : why only the one season??

im in love with amanda peet:D

Cos it was cancelled . had crappy ratings.

everything happens eventually

it had an average of 8,5 mill viewers per episode. thats not bad at all

It did have more viewers than a good portion of nbc's (nothing but crap) own programming at the time, and especially since then, but it was expensive to make. The network has publicly stated they are more worried about return on investment; in other words invest little. The cheap crap they produce (and it cost more also because they didn't produce it) doesn't need to get 6 million viewers to make money.

that's what execs want to promote

anti-dubber.

The show was flawed. I love Aaron Sorkin and I own everything he has done. I have seen every episode of The West Wing at least 10 times and watch all the seasons like clockwork. So I feel that I can comment on Studio 60. I liked the show but it got dark and and went off in too many directions. I own the Series and I enjoy it but I never cared for the Matthew Perry drug rant. It should have been avoided.And like the previous poster said the show was expensive. Not only that the reviews of the show were terrible! I would have liked to seen it come back for a second season as Aaron Sorkin admitted the flaws and I think he would have worked out the kinks, BUT NBC were not going to foot the bill for it. At least they ended the show with some closure and did not leave us on a cliffhanger.

I know this post is basically dead, so this is pointless, but really feel the need to respond to this:

Not only that the reviews of the show were terrible!

There were some negative reviews of the show but over all they were overwhelmingly positive, the critics really liked it. Check it out.

Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt!

Actually, the reviews were terrible. Sorkan himself even acknowleged this. Metacritic mostly gets reviews from pilot episode, and it was around episode five when viewers and critics really started turning against the show.

The reviews BECAME bad. They started off with TREMENDOUS reviews. Critics were calling the pilot the best pilot ever on TV. But yea, Matt Albie's drug use is where most critics starting hammering the show very hard. Nevada Day part 1 and 2 was a great great two part episode. The Christmas episode was spectacular. I thought the last 4 episodes were all really really good too. for me, there was about 12 great episodes, 6 pretty good ones, and 4 WTF kinda episodes.

Also it was on after Heroes. Apparently everyone who watches Heroes goes to bed afterwords, because that time slot has been a death sentence to many a show.

Studio 60, The Black Donnellys, Journeyman, My Own Worst Enemy, they were all canceled before after one season, and they all aired after Heroes. Now, they're moving Heroes up to 8, and putting the new show "Trama" after it. Too bad that show's cursed before it even premieres.

I have just watched the rerun of the 1st episode, shown at 0200, Sunday, October 12th 2009, on the Uk's Channel 4, presumably with the intention of showing the whole series at the same time. The original showing slot was (I believe) 2300 on Saturday nights. Because of this unsypathetic scheduling, I missed a number of episodes, and it is a difficult show to pick up on, if you haven't paid adequate attention to each and every nuance. I was a huge fan the first time around (although I must confess to never having bought the series), but I do suspect this was (and is an attempt to bury the series in a little watched time slot. C4 has a long and honourable history of showing US shows that were initially unpopular, both in the US, and here in the UK, but they are dependant on NBS selling them shows which are commercially viable, while remaining affordable (remember this is the Co. that bought 'Friends', a show I personally detest, when it was barely making money in the US). Does anybody feel that this is a 'global conspiracy' between major distributors/broadcasters, conniving amongst themselves to prevent us from seeing just how shallow, pallid, and unimportant TV peoples' lives are, while commanding such huge salaries?

Raise the banners, and bring it backIt's just too good to be buried

PS: This was the first time I have seen Judd Hirsch on TV for quite a long time, is he ok, is he working?..I belong to the 'Taxi' generation, and have always rated him as a seriously good comic actor.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe

Judd Hirsch is a regular cast member on the CBS show Numbers, which has had just over 100 episodes since 2004 or 2005.

Ah, well I wasn't aware of that, you see, not having watched any of the seriesBut TVM anyway

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe

Numbers is a love it or hate it kind of show. I love it personally.
