Not Missing So Much

I was fairly gaga when "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" first hit, and treated it as appointment TV for the first four episodes.

The last of which didn't do much for me, and I ended up missing the fifth one two Mondays ago.

Show No. 6 was Monday of this week, and I had no need to stay up for it. I can imagine it went something like this: A cast member had some personal drama, a crew member tried to say something funny and the executive producer struggled to get a show stacked on time, but it all came together at the end.

Wake me up if it gets better. Otherwise, I'm counting down the days until college basketball season begins. That's the real appointment television.
