It COULD be moved to "fill-in" status, used as a temporary replacement for a lower-rated clinker that got the green weenie. Or, NBC may be pulling off another Joey-esque caper, trying to convince themselves that "This show's gotta succeed...we've got too much hype invested in it! Keep running it, and the viewers will come!"
Sometimes, I think the net execs should try more to see what a majority of the viewing public really wants, and quit trying to impose THEIR personal tastes on US.
One of these days, I'll quit believing the critics and the hype. I had high hopes for Studio, but more often than not, it came off to me as being funny as a flat tire during a storm. I don't watch it any more. (Hooray ESPN!)
Regarding your comments to Lynn Elber, about Studio 60, I could not agree more. This show is done. If it does come back, I expect it will be in the summer and only then so that it can burn off the remaining episodes.
It's sad really. This show had alot of potential but I did find that they used alot of slang that is unique to Show Business/Television insiders. Classic example is the episode that featured a *Pitch* meeting of the exec's. When one of the characters said, roughly, "The O & O's love it..." I had to explain what an "O & O" is, to my wife. That's just one example.
When I read in your newsletter that NBC was putting the show on Hiatus early, making way for "The Black Donnelys" I told my wife, that's it, I am done. I did not watch the last first run episode since I did not want to invest anymore time in a show that was on life support and dying.
Let's face it. The only folks enthralled with the inner workings of television are those of us with huge egos and a certain amount of smugness.

Ironically, I am enthralled with the inner workings of television... and still despise this sad excuse for a show. You don't need a huge ego and a certain amount of smugness to watch it -- only to write it.
Kristen on E! has confirmed that if Black Donnellys does better in that time slot, Studio 60 will be cancelled (because production costs for Donnellys is a lot lower). According to Kristen, the only reason Studio 60 was kept this long was because Sorkin had a contract that would have made it MORE expensive to cancel than to produce more episodes.
