Sting guest on Studio 60 next week

[Fritz]

there goes the neighborhood.
could a new NBC show jump the shark so early?

yea

I've watched the first three, and don't think it is worth bothering with any more - I fail to see what all the hooplah is about.

[Fritz]

dunno about hoopla, but it's decent for network TV.

better 'an ER

I doubt it's jumping just yet. I'm guessing that Sting will have more of a minor acting roll
rather than a musical one. He will probably be Studio 60's musical guest but since they
are about the behind the scenes element he will probably play into that end of the story line.

Sorkins shows take a bit to get off the ground and certainly not everyones cut and dried
hour of easy set ups and laughs. It will take him the better part of the season just to
develop the main characters and their relationships - just like the WW

I don't watch much TV but I am watching this one. Whitford and Perry have good chemistry
so far and a good supporting cast.

It's nit the Simpsons (which I dearly love) but a little more cerebral and will take some
thought.

So far I like it better than most of what I see but I'm probably in that "3% of people that
only watch 10 hrs or less a week including the Simpson's,Jeopardy., and lotto drawings" demographic
