Goodbye STUDIO 60

A few brief words on the passing of STUDIO 60.
I was one of the few people that truly enjoyed STUDIO 60 right from the start. I remember reading the pilot script the summer before it aired and I thought it was brilliant. I waited, I watched, I got involved in the show and then slowly [...]

STUDIO 60 Uneven Ep Ends in Brilliance
