'Studio 60' looks like it is done

After week after week of getting pummelled by the Nielsen numbers and critics alike, it seems likely that Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip has met its end with the dreaded word Hiatus.

Yes, NBC says the show will return, but given the current television environment, I think the best we can hope for is that they burn the episodes out during the summer, but even that sounds far fetched.

Of course, given the sharp decline in the quality of the show over the past 5-6 episodes, I am not all that heartbroken by this decision. I think those of us who watched it knew that this was coming, and we had prepared ourselves for its demise.

I still have Ugly Betty and the Knights of Prosperity from the new crop, so all in all, it has still been a decent year for new shows.

Now we just have to wait for Aaron Sorkin to bitterly come out and attack the critics and the bloggers for pointing out flaws with the show and helping Studio 60 to fail. It should be any day now.
