i hope things turn out all right.
Jun. 28th, 2007 07:42 pmToday's Thursday. You know what that means:
Studio 60 ends tonight.
This is only the second series ending I've dealt with. The first one, you'll remember, was The West Wing last May. That kinda hit me hard; I had only got into it the previous summer and watched every episode (some more than once) in the span of 10 months or so. I watched S7 on NBC and felt that I had really made a connection with it. Then I found out they were canceling it. I was crushed. I thought it was some kind of joke; that the people who wanted the show to end after Aaron Sorkin left had gotten their way, but no, it had low ratings. And so it ended, much to my dismay.
With Studio 60, it's different. It lasted not even a complete season, and it's ending. I didn't get to know the characters they way I got to know them on The West Wing. I got to know little bits and pieces of the characters, but none of that was really developed, other than Matt&Harriet&Luke and Tom's brother, and it could've been developed over several seasons like The West Wing. And Studio 60 took a ridiculously long break that I totally forgot what went on before it went on hiatus.
So. Come 11 PM, I'll probably be bawling my eyes out (like I did last year with The West Wing), come to the realization that Aaron Sorkin probably won't make another TV comeback for another 4 years or so (see you in 2011, AARON), and praying profusely that it comes out on DVD ASAP, so that I can try to figure out the exact point where the show when to hell. (For the record, I think it's the episode "B-12". Agree/Disagree?)
As Maroon 5 said in their song "Goodnight Goodnight", "I hope things turn out all right." And for Studio 60, I'm sure they will. They have to.
