I’m not sure I answered any of your questions or made any sense at all, but I hope this helps somehow.  You know I always love talking TV with you.  :)

Thanks. It did help.And I went through the same thing with Studio 60 too so I do logically understand. I mean, I totally get why it was cancelled and why mainstream audiences never got on board. There just seemed to be a lot of people who do usually approach television in a similar way as us, even hardcore Joss Whedon fans, not really liking the show. So that confused me. But everything you said does make sense. I’m sure if I was more in tune with people’s acting abilities and actually recognized weak acting I probably would’ve been far less into it.

But it’s okay. I’ll add it to my dvd collection of misfit shows and wait for this whole frustrating cycle to start all over again with some new show next season.

Now I really want to watch Studio 60. If I ever finish my essay I’ll pull out the dvds.

Also, I have no idea how to carry on a conversation on Tumblr. (This is one of those things I miss about livejournal.) So sorry if it was weird that I just reblogged part of your post. I felt like reblogging the whole thing would be really long and cumbersome.

Acting isn’t always the deciding factor for me, but it greatly influences my decision of whether to stick with a show or not.  Don’t get me wrong, there have been plenty of shows and movies where the acting has been less than stellar and I’ve stuck around and added them to my list of favorites, but with this show in particular,  there were too many negative contributing factors to be able to overlook the performances.

A Studio 60 re-watch is definitely in order when you get the chance.  It’s still brilliant and makes me fangirl like crazy.  Sorkin has a was of doing that to me.  :)

Hope to see you around LJ more.  I’m on there religiously, so if you ever feel the need to vent, you know where to find me.
