Trade Round-Up: Viewers Prefer Texas High School Football To Overly Serious Sketch Comedy

Caruso was scheduled to be a rerun from last season and he was to be preceded by reruns from CBS's comedy block. So, the Texas football show did better against something that has aired at least twice and had little lead-in, while Sorkin has only gone against new episodes, plus all the hype about the "Heroes" phenom really only reached saturation last week.

Of course, this all begs the question; How did "Brian" do?

I'm not surprised at all theat Friday Night Lights outperformed Studio 60. FNL is a very good show and it deserves an audience. I still think, howeve, that Studio 60 will at least make it through the new year.

THAT's where he's from! The magic newspaper show! Costarring--if I'm not mistaken--Fisher Stevens, who (watch me make this apply, now) used to be married to (or at least date) Michelle Pfeiffer, who's married to David E. Kelley, who used to be Aaron Sorkin.

Ta-da!

I don't watch either. All I know for sure is that I want to f*ck Coach (Kyle Chandler) ever since he was on that horrible show Early Edition.

"Friday Night Lights is like 90210, but with poor people, unlike Studio 60, which is like the Office, but with non-humorous rich people. Man, I hope that made sense. "

What really matters, BoHan, is that all four are shows I don't watch.

They played about 50 commercials for FNL (rough approximation) during Heroes with some sexy people sexin' it up. Has there been anything like that (sexy people or sex) on Studio 60? Sorry Sorkin. Sex and football and rednecks sell. Although I ended up turning off FNL within the first 15 minutes... it was kinda boring and people seemed less sexy in segments longer than 5 or 6 seconds.

Score one for the viewing public, since "Friday Night Lights" is actually a much better show. And yes, it makes a stronger case for a weekly high-school football game being hugely important to a small Texas town than "Studio 60" does for a weekly late-night comedy show having any importance to the nations's culture. Plus the young actors (and even the older married couple) are really hot and having sex all the time, and they make me feel all funny inside in a way that TV producers and Christian comediennes never do.

Oof. Was the episode really called "GIT'ER DONE"? For the first time since "Studio 60" aired, I feel sympathy for Sorkin.

...and, concurrently, disdain for middle America.

Hey. Maybe that was his problem.
