Did anyone catch the NBC Studio 60 new show tonight? They busted

[I_Make_Mistakes]

the Christian psycho cults (I'm a Christian and was so happy), the 700 club and the FCC. It was a joy to watch, they are taking on the BIG guys and I hope this show continues. If this is a dupe post please remove as I tried to search (I really suck at searching here, for some reason).

1. Yes. And I want to thank all the East Coast DUers who recommended

the show. I wouldn't have watched it otherwise.

I hope they let the show stay on the air.

2. I couldn't believe it. It was AWESOME!

I loved that Matt and Danny actually wrote that "meltdown" four years ago. Kudos to Mr. Schlamme.

3. What is it?

Sorry, first I've heard of this. What happened?

EDIT: Found the site:

5. It's a live show and the producer (who ever is in charge) played

by Judd Hirsch is told by the (oh, crap bombing here), media minder that they can't air a spot (about Crazy Christians) and Hirsch does a "I'm mad as Hell and not going to take it anymore" on air.

It basically, is challenging the Christian Right Wing Wacko's, check your NBC affiliate (at this time of the year, shows may be show more than once (still airing repeats) it was showing the networks being bullied by the FCC and RW. It was honest, fresh and exciting!

8. Thanks!

And after checking the other links here and to the site, this is a must see!

EDIT: And those who missed can evidently watch it from their site on Tuesday.

4. You guessed it, it's a dupe thread. Good show tonight, imho, as well.

Definitely has potential as a series to be another Aaron Sorkin hit :applause:

6. Just a question? I searched on "Studio 60" in GD and got nothing

on the threads. I did find one and kicked, but I don't get what I am doing wrong, any input?

7. I just clicked search and typed "studio 60" without the quotes.

It returned 19 results, three of which I copy pasted above. The others seemed less related or merely coincidental hits.

edit: Here's a nice review of the show that I just googled.

10. Sorry I missed it. Watched Shawshank Redemption, again

and marveled, again, on how good this movie it.

Is Monday evening, then, its regular slot?

18. Yes, just watched it online.

Love it! Played very well too. No problem with streaming at all.

This show is a hit already.

13. Great show! nt

15. I loved how they busted Dobson and his Focus on the Family

Where Dobson/Family have a coordinated letter writing campaign to the FCC which makes the FCC wet their pants.

Of course they didn't mention Dobson/Family by name, but it was so obvious to anyone paying attention.

But the show did mention Robertson by name and really blasted him.

Right now Dobson and his keyboard warriors are probably drowning the FCC in complaints about this show.
