(From MSNBC.com -- By Linda Holmes)
One of the popular pastimes of the fall season has been discussing the high-profile foundering of STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP.
[NBC, Mondays, 10 pm]
Headed by AARON SORKIN and THOMAS SCHLAMME, who had critical success with SPORTS NIGHT and both critical and popular success with THE WEST WING, and starring MATTHEW PERRY, BRADLEY WHITFORD, and AMANDA PEET, STUDIO 60 began with good reviews and a large pilot audience.
Since then, however, the audience has dropped weekly, cancellation rumors swirled for a while, and critical response has become substantially more mixed.
Talk of cancellation was squelched last week when NBC confimed it was picking the show up for the full season.
But this is a project in trouble, despite a quality pedigree and an aggressive marketing campaign on multiple fronts.
Studio 60 Flailing By Not Taking Comedy Seriously
