In the last couple of days, via TiVo and iTunes, I caught up on the final five or six episodes of the season of the canceled NBC television series, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
How bittersweet it was, though. With its excellent ensemble of actors, great writing of situations and dialogue, and its clever incorporation of current issues like religion, war, and censorship, this show was, by far, one of the very best shows on TV, yet, once again, sadly, the network had to cancel it.
Why is it that shows like Arrested Development, Invasion, and the recently-resurrected Jericho get axed, while crap like How I Met Your Mother, Ghost Whisperer, and The New Adventures of Old Christine gets renewed? I really don’t get it.
