More shit about Studio 60...
Despite my assertion that I wouldn't watch the show –– I have. And I completely agree with Logan. Except I think you missed some important points.
6) It is remarkable (beyond what Logan said about the featured sketches) that overall Studio 60 is remarkably humorless for a show about comedy. Somewhere along the line Sorkin missed the fact that conversations about writing jokes aren’t as funny as jokes.
7) While it is true that conversations held in its hallways of the Whitehouse arguably affect every person on Earth, the same is not true of a weekly sketch comedy. No matter how politically relevant or intellectual challenging a show is, fewer than 1 in 30 Americans will watch in a given week.
8) It is possible to have a Christian character that isn’t a symbolic opposite of the supposed Jewish/Intellectual/Queer/Liberal Hollywood core.
9) It is possible to make a show that is not about making a show and to write a show that isn’t about writing a show.

Mark, I think we need to start disagreeing again or our ratings are going to drop.
You would think that.
Wrong again Logan. Wrong again.
