Excuse me, it seems someone has spilled some Photoshop on your right arm there
I loved Studio 60. Such a great show
“A Jewish guy calls his mother. His mouth is full…”
It was the very model of a modern late night TV show.
Is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment? Lol
It’s from the first episode: “The Cold Open”
There I go proving that I never watched it I guess 😆
I have. It’s great. Always wished it had gotten more seasons.
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
Yeah, I’ll never understand why NBC couldn’t keep them both. How does the slightest topic overlap require them to kill one?
Funnily enough, I just watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
I think it might have been a different viewing experience when it was new, but it’s hard to not view it through the modern lens where 30 Rock made it - and therefore defined the “genre” of show-about-a-SNL-type-show - and Studio 60 didn’t.
Wikipedia indeed includes an entire section about this in the pages for both shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_60_on_the_Sunset_Strip#Similarities_to_30_Rock / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Rock#Similarities_to_other_media
But it does answer the question of “what if in a parallel universe, 30 Rock was a slightly weirdly paced character drama?”.
