I've only watched two episodes of Studio 60 (the others waiting on dvr to be watched) but I kinda see what you mean. It has potential but I'm not 100% a fan yet. I started watching this seasons episodes of Prison Break and had to stop. It doesn't even keep my attention. Have you watched Jericho? it's a good one too.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1412','Lauren'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1412','Lauren','I\'m enjoying Heroes too.

C'mon, now. Studio 60 is really well-written. I like the issues it deals with. I am not saying its the best thing since peanut butter. But, its pretty damn good jelly. I do want to catch Heroes, though. And Prison Break is meant to be out-of-hand. I am convinced. That's like hating 24 for not being realistic. Each week, I strap myself in knowing that I am going to have to suspend disbelief. There are times when I just can't. Take the CSIs, for instance. Am I supposed to believe that many hot women are ballistics and forensics experts? Methinks not. I am out of patience with those shows, too. Good stuff, Spence!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1404','Joey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1404','Joey','Spence!

Spencer, when we saw you a few weeks ago, we had seen the 2nd episode of Studio60, but you two hadn't yet, so we didn't discuss in detail, wanting to let you form your own opinions. But that's when it started to fall apart, as soon as they started to need to show actual comedy writing. Amazing that Sorkin can write such consistently clever dialougue, but, to be kind, he's not a stellar sketch comedy writer. Just about as lame, or more so, than the actual SNL. Oh, well. We're still watching it for the characters and the acting, so far. But yeah, lots of painful parts. We had avoided Heroes due to limited time and poor initial reviews... but now we might need to catch up to it!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1401','radiocynic'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1401','radiocynic','Yep...
