Let me start by saying that I didn't watch The West Wing. I just want that out of the way. I did watch Sportsnight. I do love a lost cause.
Please, please, please don't cancel Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. I am sure it is going to come up soon. It's a good show. A really good show. Great, witty writing. Solidly funny performances. So much potential.
There is no good drama on TV right now. I used to have Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, 24. 24 and The Sopranos are on hiatus and nothing has really come to take their place. Brothers and Sisters had potential but it is extremely heavy handed. The writing isn't even in the same universe as Studio 60. Desperate Housewives is getting, well, sort of desperate. (Really, the love child and baby's mama? A coma? Please).
TV, in general, is pretty slim pickings right now.
So NBC, I beseech you. Please don't cancel Studio 60. Don't be that network. If you cut too much I'm just going to quit watching altogether. I can Tivo, you know? I don't have to watch your sponsors ads at all if I don't want to. So please remember that I buy laundry detergent too. Even if I am a California liberal, I still shop. I can still buy just as many tires or sleeping pills or whatever it is you're selling. So keep Studio 60. Because not only can I Tivo, I can force friends into watching reruns on said Tivo. Sometimes I even get friends to switch laundry soap.
