Save Studio 60 Petition?
The other day, I came across a petition to save Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Now I knew there would be some trouble as far as the show was concerned seeing as it didn’t fair too well off late, but I really wasn’t expecting a petition mid-season. Anyway, for those of you concerned as to why Studio 60 doesn’t air anymore, I’ll try and shed some light on the matter.
Apparently Studio 60 is to share the Monday 10PM slot with another show, The Black Donnelly’s. Now it’s supposed to be 7 weeks to Studio 60 and 7 to The Black Donnelly’s. But an article I read said, “NBC’s mob drama The Black Donnellys, which had a disappointing premiere a week ago, slumped even further at 10:00 p.m. this Monday night as it posted a 5.1 rating and an 8 share (versus last week’s 6.0/10). The results were worse than those for the previous occupant of the Monday-night time slot — Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. A rerun of CBS’s CSI: Miami won the hour with a 9.9/16″. This may just be good news for Aaron Sorkin’s show after all! In any case, please do sign the petition when you get a chance. We’re up to 13,000 signatures which is a really great number but the more the better!

I thought Studio 60 was a fantastic show. It was funny and interesting. I tried to get people to watch it because EVERY SHOW I LIKE GETS CANCELLED. I especially liked The West Wing and was devastated when it went off, but Studio 60 was just as good, and maybe better. Aaron Sorkin is fantastic and deserves to have a show. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!

Bring back the show for a second season. I don’t know what happened but it’s one of the best shows on tv right now.
PLease, we LOVE it!!!

I so hope it comes back, but unfortunately that seems highly unlikely right now

I am in England and have just watched the final episode of Studio 60. Does anybody else feel discriminated against because they are intelligent and, as such, overlooked in programming and ratings? In today’s culture I would have imagined that everyone’s tastes would be catered for and the show be moved to a less prominant time slot instead of cancelled. I’d give anything for a second series. Think I could sue?

I live in Ireland where the final episode of Studio 60 has just been aired. I was so disappointed to hear that the show had been cancelled and frankly very shocked. After Sorkin’s intelligent and gripping writing of the West Wing I was so excited to see that he was behind a new show with great actors. Studio 60 was building a devoted audience here, one that feels it is being deprived of a second season of great tv.
