Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip

[KD]

The thing I like about 30 Rock, after having watched Fey's up/down years at SNL, is that you can pretty much pick a joke 15 minutes before it happens.  Once you found out that Reubens was a prince, after having seen his state in the previews, you knew an incest joke was on its way.  After the page and Tracy had their first showdown in the office ("lick her face!," classic) you knew they were going to take that to it's logical extension: the devil/angel back and forth.

Studio 60 is far more predictable. You knew a) the door to the roof would be locked, b) The chinese chick would be all over Nate Corddry, and c) The English chick would show up and catch him lying, and holy shit, I feel like I'm talking about "All My Children", so I'll stop now.

Yeah, and you have to suspend disbelief, and that sucks sometimes.  Why would Matthew Perry's character tell the Corddry kid to lie?  Oh, yeah, so something that happens an episode and a half later makes sense.  I didn't think the door would lock, I just thought the snake would bite that smug guy and Amanda Peet would go into Florence Nightengale mode on him.

It'd be nice if one week Amanda Peet actually learned her lines instead of using cue cards.

Cut her some slack.  She's pregnant.

It's cool how the people watching Studio 60 like to pretend that the 30 Rock thread terrorists don't exist.  We're here, and we'll make this thread ours.

You're the Head.

I'm the Hair.

Was this the first 30 Rock without a Rachel Dratch cameo?  Even though she's not pretty, she would have made that blonde character SO much funnier.  The redneck girl from Vacation is playing that character like a watered-down version of Lindsey Funke.

I like her retarded eye. Her sister peed in it.

She is?  I hadn't noticed.  Sorkin should point that out definitely a few more times.

I'm fairly certain that I have a head injury because I laughed pretty hard at Tina Fey's "You will never alter drapes in Atlanta, Georgia again because you don't EVER cross a Sugarbaker" line.  Kenneth was gangsta-gangsta as always.  Mistah Jack was simply the best.

Fixed.

Aw Kurt, don't do this to yourself.  Studio 60 is deader than dogshit.

Let it go, man, let it go.

I thought Sports Night was too precocious, West Wing too much, but I liked Studio 60.  A LOT.  Pissed off, now.

Yeah, quit being a fungdark.

No comeback?  You're burnt!

I want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant.
