Studio 60 (12/4)

That just goes to show one of two things:

1) That wasn't a major plot line, if I didn't remember it

2) I shouldn't be doing this doped up on vicodin....

it must be door number 2. 'cause it most certainly was pretty darn major.

Then they screwed up in the writing when Ricky and Ronny left - because I just re-checked the DVR and found that, yes, they did in fact leave at the end of the episode and said ALL the writers, save the British chick and the new guy, were going with them.

Poor writing... not up to Sorkin's standards.

Ricky and Ron left at the end of the episode "The Option Period," which aired two weeks ago, 11/20, and yes, they took everyone except Darius and Lucy with them. Mark McKinney's character, Andy Mackinaw, was introduced in last week's episode, "B-12", as a former Studio 60 writer who left the show during Matt and Danny's first stint. They brought him in to pinch hit and help supervise Darius and Lucy. zizzer, you're the one not paying attention, not Sorkin and his writing staff..

Yep, a good chunk of the show dedicated to this new guy and how he fits in...not a major plot line.

Perfect.

Oh yeah, now I remember why I stopped frequenting this site... you guys are all ASSHOLES.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

And your definition of an asshole is apparently anyone who calls you on something when you are flat out wrong.

you'll need more of that vicodin if it does! thanks for stopping by, though.

All the pissiness aside, I just searched for Trombone Shorty on iTunes and came across his album "Orleans and Claiborne." Been listening to the samples. Pretty hot stuff.

He does a cover of "Frontin'" that is the hotness.

The Times-Picayune did a story on Shorty's experience at S60. It's reprinted on his Web site...

I loved every part about this past episode. I wavered w/ the whole Nevada storyline, but this brought me back.

And does Sorkin spend the whole year writing the Christmas episode? All the West Wings were great, even the SportsNight christmas episode. My fave West Wing one was the first. The 21-gun salute to the dead homeless vet while the children's choir is singing - it was so dusty in here, I would have of thought I didn't dust for two years.

non-cable television can't do better than that.

My wife sent an email to the Tipitina Foundation this morning, asking if she could purchase a copy of the version from "O Holy Night" from last night's show, and they sent her one back saying it will be available free on iTunes tomorrow. Think we may snag that, and give $20 to the foundation as a thank you.

The Tipitina Foundation is tremendous. A lot of people who lost their homes were also some of the better musicians in the city. In addition to their homes, they lost their instruments. New Orleans is, among other things, about the music. I hope lots of people continue to give to the foundation. I know I'll continue to.

Yeah, that one is good. The crazy thing about his band, it's all a bunch of youngsters. I don't recall any of them being older than like 24. And all are at the top of their game on their respective instruments.

Just got through watching the DVR version with the wife. I held my arm up in front of her after about six notes, and I said, "look at that" -- literal goosebumps. Shorty's just that good.

A little much sap to wade through, but you had to expect some of that. They appear to be fighting the perception of "too smart for the room" by injecting love stories that appeal to most anyone.

There's no way Harriet says "I'm Matt" and no one notices it or needles her.

Song isn't up on iTunes yet.

The best of the Sorkin Christmas episodes was his first on the WW. In Excelseis Deo (sp.) in which a veteran dies wearing Toby's coat and we get to hear the story of Mrs. Landingham's twin sons.

Sorkin can always get a good tear-jerker going for the holidays.

Yeah, I broke down and just bought the ep. At least now I can listen to it.
