Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - Matthew Perry

Coming into the Fall season, NBC was confident in its new Monday night schedule, which boasted their two most heralded new shows. NBC was extremely confident in Heroes and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Both shows had received critical acclaim, and NBC decided to promote them accordingly. With Heroes at 9PM and Studio 60 at 10PM, NBC was looking to make some long-overdue waves on Monday night.

Now, over a month into the new season, the results have been lukewarm. Heroes has become one of the breakout hits of the new season, and was the first new show to get a full season guaranteed. If anything, Heroes has exceeded the already high expectations placed upon them by NBC. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is a whole other story.

Watch tonight's show, that unplugged Sting's song at the end is worth it.

I'm so jealous of all you Canadians getting to see the show a day early. It's so unfair!

Studio 60 is the most overrated show on TV, without a doubt. You want to watch a good show, check out The Nine.

Overrated or not, I like it. That's the most important thing to ME.

Oscar,

You poor thing. You keep grasping for why Studio 60 is doing so poorly.

It's Monday Night Football, silly.

NBC's and Sorkin's decision to put Studio 60 against that-- when NBC is back in the business of promoting the NFL itself-- is perplexing to say the least.

One only need glance at MNF's ratings-- which are beating the broadcast networks-- to see the problem here.
