I need to remember to wait a few episodes before passing judgement on shows. Based on the first episode I was ready to proclaim Studio 60 the best thing since peanut butter (people always say the best thing since sliced bread - but if I had to do without one peanut butter or bread I wouldn’t give up the PB.) Anyway 3 episodes later and I can barely get through it - from the beginning with its horrible theme song to the fact that Perry and Whitford are supposed to be these great comedy writers and yet their skits aren’t funny - it’s just not well formed.

It has the total creep factor that X-Files mastered as well as the comic pieces. It’s only 4 episodes in and it’s a must watch for me - up there with Lost and 24. I’m hoping it doesn’t pull a Prison Break - a show I gave up on half-way through it’s first season.

If you haven’t watched - you can watch previous episodes online at NBC: Heroes
