I don't get Studio 60...

Maybe it would have helped if I'd been able to see it from the start, but I had no idea More 4 were showing it until a couple of weeks in. And I can't afford to get it on pay-to-view.

I don't understand the humour, or the motivations of the characters, or the running plots....

Is it just me? I know I couldn't get into The West Wing, but I figured that was simply disinterest for the setting - I love behind-the-scenes settings within the media. One reason why Sports Night grabbed me in the way it did, whereas politics bores the living crap out of me

*is confused*

It would help if you had seen it from the start, as it seems to be running a continuous storyline, but it actually isn't very good. There are moments where you can almost see the old Sorkin magic trying to shine through, but for the most part it's just a second-hand poor relation to Sports Night - with decidedly non-hot leads, so you can't even slash them for light relief.

*nodnod* I have seen traces of the Sorkinese I love so much - but then I can see that in The West Wing too.

It is a seriously lacklustre show, and I just can't connect with the characters. Plus who the hell cares about this Jordan woman's past?? Surely she's not that important.

Um, I really liked it. I was very sad to see it go. But then, I liked West Wing (well until Aaron and Rob left and I stopped watching). I think I liked Studio 60 better.

I found the two leads Very slashy, and I have always thought that Bradly Whitford was cute, but maybe thats just me. I miss the show. It was the only new show on last year that I really cared about. Anything else I watched I was not as invested in.

But then, I saw it from the beginning and saw most of it on iTunes so that I could rewatch them as often as I liked. The Christmas episode I saw over and over. Laughed sooo hard.

You know what? I'm glad. :-) It's good that there are people who get the show and enjoy it. I so want to be one of those people. *sighs in frustration*
