Goodbye, Studio 60
Nov. 23rd, 2006 03:23 pmAs of this last episode, I've pretty much given up on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It has its moments, I admit, but they are shining oases in a desert of dreck. The show-within-the-show in particular is so unfunny it hurts everything around it. And the constant soapboxing, while making sense in the context of The West Wing, is just grating here.
Which is a shame, because the actual show has pretty good actors and some genuinely likeable characters. However, even the lure of Matthew Perry, Sarah Paulson, Lucy Davis, Timothy Busfield and Ayda Field can no longer sustain my interest. And Bradley Whitford looks like he's on the verge of a narcoleptic attack most of the time.
Basically, I blame Sorkin for being unable to see past his bitterness about Hollywood, the television industry and his breakup with Kristin Chenoweth. I mean, dude, catharsis is good for the soul and all that, but damn, it's pretty ugly when you make us all watch.
