Studio 60 --- you had promise. I would have liked to have seen what you could have been if you hadn't been monologues derived from his brain. Oh well.
Every time I was about to just give up on you, a brilliant episode would come down...or rather, a brilliant in comparison episode would come down. But really, what was the point?
I don't know how much of the arc was known from the beginning. I don't know if there was a point at which Sorkin knew that the show would only be aired due to the penalty clauses in his contract and decided to just write for his own ego and to try to force his opinions on the american public as if that would somehow get the president impeached. But 3/18-22 episodes being good and almost great, that sucks. That would get any show cancelled. And quite frankly, since coming back after the "hiatus", it's downright sucked.
If nothing else, I give props to the actors because very few of the performances in these last four (which could easily have been condensed to TWO) episodes.
But really, just uggh.

Of course, I don't think the last four episodes were part of the same show I fell for in the first half of the season. This was something else entirely, but somehow I was okay with that - perhaps because it was over.
But, yeah, the show was never outstanding. Well, maybe once or twice.
