NBC Pulls "Studio 60"

I don't know how I missed this...

NBC announced on Monday that it is putting the Aaron Sorkin drama "Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip" on indefinate hiatus following two consecutive weeks of pretty anemic ratings. Its final airing was this past Monday.

"Studio 60" wasn't Sorkin's best show by any stretch. But it was well written, and compared to the cheap, brainless shit that network executives keep on the air these days, it was a breath of fresh air.

Six episodes remain unaired. NBC hasn't announced when - or if - they'll air them in the future.

Note to Mr. Sorkin: Take your next show - or hell, even this one - to HBO. Well written shows like yours thrive there.
