Enjoy hiatus!

OK, that wasn't a horrible episode. Pretty good stuff actually, so if that is the show's swan song, then fare thee well Studio 60, fare thee well.

Also, really liked the shout out to TWW. When the lawyer said that she was from Gage Whitney I looked up and cocked my head like a Jack Russell after hearing a sharp sound.

A much better episode than last week's mess. I'm actually going to miss the show.

"That was a big waste of time and energy." Couldn't have said it better myself Simon. To bad some talented people's careers are going to suffer because of this trainwreck.

Luke is an ass. Danny looks old (but sweet) and Jordan was FUN-NEE when the baby went Kablooey!

ETA: I also heard 'Gage Whitney' loud and clear!

Goodbye, Harriet, you moralistic narcissist. You're a shitty dramatic actress, too.

Goodbye, Matt, I'm glad you kicked your pill habit between episodes. Or is it vodka now? Whatever, the important thing is that you really can quit anytime you want.

Goodbye, Luke, you dog, and by the way, I TOTALLY NEVER SAW THAT COMING. ZOMG.

Goodbye, Simon. Play on, playa.

Goodbye, sexual harrassment suit -- if the FCC gave up after, like, five episodes, you never stood a chance.

Goodbye, Jordan -- an episode in which you have the funniest line ("How did the baby get in the guillotine?") is an episode I wish I'd skipped.

Goodbye, show. It's funny, how in a week I'm going to feel terrible psychic withdrawal and yet a great sense of peace.

Aww, that was good! I haven't truly enjoyed an episode of this show since the Christmas one. But this one I enjoyed ALOT.

I absolutely LOVED the lawyer from Gage Whitney (hee, the West Wing fan in me got really giddy)....but it was bothering me the whole episode where I've seen her. What is that actress' name?? I know I've seen her in probably 80 thousand things, but I just can't place a name to the face...

[sweepweek]

Great episode. I've seen the "take care of the fake baby" bit on many tv shows, but none of them had the balls to behead one.

[simpgeek]

Are you kidding me with this stuff?

First of all, I really want to shoot Jordan and Danny, that can't be healthy. The whole baby thing was mind-numbingly moronic except for the payoff, which was completely given away by the damn promos for the show. But seriously, I may have to gouge my eyes out next time they look like they are gonna kiss.

I have a feeling people are going to be bringing up how much a jerk Luke was but I can really see where he is coming from. Harriet was being completely ridiculous while working. Harry: how about considering being professional and bringing all these trivial things up later?

Everything else about the episode was rather forgettable.

[GreenPhoenix]

I agree with zhanae that this episode was an improvement.

I liked the scenes on the Studio 60 set. The dialogues were good and the guillotine bit was funny from beginning to end. Best of all, the contest didn't turn out contrived.

I didn't like the movie set scenes, though. I hope this will be the last we see of Luke.

[Samurai]

Decent episode. Not much pontificating, which was nice. That being said, the whole Luke/Harriet thing put me off a bit...mainly because Harriet was completely justified at blowing off Matt at the dinner. Luke...well, he just showed himself to be a prick as well.

Danny and Jordan were better, but Jordan as an individual character sure doesn't have much to go on. She is president of a network television station, after all...I'm sure she has better things to do than sleeping on Danny's couch. Furthermore, where the hell is Steven Weber?

I noticed this story was written by Mark McKinney, which may explain why it didn't seem to be overtly written by Sorkin.

Farewell, Studio 60...we hardly knew ya. You get a B for this final effort.

[McGonz]

Goodbye, Harriet, you moralistic narcissist. You're a shitty dramatic actress, too.

And quite possibly the least professional actress ever. If I was on that crew, I would've slapped upside her fucking "is this the best direction" head.

[gooeycenter]

Nice to know that Sam Seaborn's firm is looking out for Josh's west coast twin.

Another flashback for Wingnuts: single-cell paramecium!

I don't want this to be the last show. Can't TPTB just move this program to a timeslot/day where it can find its feet in peace? I never thought it was such a bad little tree ...

[DesiChick88]

Too bad this episode was the best one since the Christmas one. I wonder what it's chances of coming back are.

The lawyer, Simon, Cal, and the care baby were all awesome.

[Eric54]

I still love this show. Bradford Whitley and Amanda Peet were great together. I missed Jack, though.
