I think the show was absolutely great – and a terriffic counterpart to Heroes on Monday nights. From superfantastic to actually happening. I really wanted to know how the taking on the FCC story developed – maybe it’s the liberal in me… or maybe it’s the communications major in me, but either way I thought it was facinating.

I agree. I think the show changed alot in one season. I agreed with alot of Sorkin’s political views and stuff. But the show was turning into a show of the love-lives of everyone. Still, I loved the show. Towards the ends, it was just different for the most part, but still good.

I have the entire series on my iPod. Can’t help myself.

I don’t know that I remember a show that changed so drastically, so many times in just one season. It was like 2-3 completly different shows over the course of the year that just happened to have the same sets and cast.

I still have the Christmas episode on my Ipod. Really thought the show was going to take off after that great episode. But when it came back after the holiday break it just wasn’ that good.

I enjoyed it, but after the Christmas Episode (which was fantastic), I just thought it went downhill… and this past bit, the only one I cared about was Nate Cordry. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great. And, really lacked a lot.
Good start, but lost focus.

I think I am more sad about Studio 60 this year than I am/was about the end of Gilmore. Because you are right, it had such GREAT potential. And, although I always enjoyed it, I can see why it never got a large audience. Personally, I think that Sorkin picked the wrong medium to write about. I am currently watching TWW for the first time, and the great thing about the show is, yeah, it is preachy at times, but it can be…because it’s about the White House. I also loved Sports Night, and was really excited for S60. Somewhere it lots its way though…

I will miss Matthew Perry the most. This was the first serious role I’d seen him in, and while I love him to pieces on Friends, it was the first time I realized, “Well, golly. That Matthew Perry can really act.” I wish him a long career where he can prove himself as an actor to a larger audience.

I too had high hopes for the show.

They had a tremendous amount of talent in front of and behind the camera and it still fell apart.

As talented as Sorkin is, I lay the blame at his doorstep. He was self-indulgent, preachy, condescending and seemed to be using the show as personal therapy.

I liked Sports Night and West Wing, but Sorkin lost the thread on this show.

He is very talented and I hope he has another show soon.

I totally agree – loved the premise, but they got lost. I hope Nate gets a good project soon. He was a really nice surprise. Love the Corddry brothers! Also Sarah Paulson was pretty good, was fun when I realized she was the scientist that got eaten by Reavers in Serenity. I hope Lucy sticks it out state-side too!
