Studio 60's dying gasp

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was canceled earlier this year. That sucks. It was a good show and, while it wasn't the best effort by Sorkin yet by far, it was still more worthwhile than some of the crap on the air right now. However, besides being canned (speaking of which, I have a rant somewhere in me about the frequency of which shows get canceled and how TV ratings around currently at an all-time low. Correlation?? You better damn well believe it), Studio 60 still has episodes left that have been filmed but haven't been aired yet. Apparently, they're scheduled to air the rest of the episodes May 24.

So, at least we'll get to watch a couple more episodes before burying the latest Sorkin show. Hopefully he's busy working on a new show or new movie that will prove that he's not washed up yet. I love Aaron Sorkin's work, be it movies like The American President or A Few Good Men; or shows like West Wing and Sports Night, and I think while he does suffer from some tendencies to over-preach, his writing style's crisp and quick and his characters certainly don't suffer from being moronic. If the options are more shows like Jackass or more shows like Studio 60, I vote Sorkin everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.
