Demise of demises

As I have written about it before, Studio 60 on the Sunset strip started of as a promising show which was highly antcipated but soon became derided for being too intellectual for middle America. I have never seen a single episode of "West Wing" so I did not know Aaron Sorkin's work before this show. The only good reviews that came out from this show is that Matthew Perry is "a wonderful surprise" and "has moved on from being just Chandler Bing". The impending demise of the show ( which is usually not a big deal because a lot of shows are cancelled left and right) is a big deal just because it's Sorkin's. The downward spiral of not being funny and the slant towards romantic tanglings between the characters just did not help the show. Well, NBC hopes "The Black Donnelly's" brings home the ratings bacon or else, suffer the same fate. At least Matt P and Matt L have more time to hang out now and reminisce the happier ratings they enjoyed as Chandler and Joey.
