NBCb, Alternate Universe -- After seven seasons and precisely half as many Emmy awards, NBC's hit dramedy series about a sketch-comedy show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip will air its final episode next week, to the dismay of both critics and its large fanbase.
While the creators and the network knew Studio 60 would be a success, they couldn't predict how big a success it would turn out to be. Starting from the solid first season, it absolutely snowballed in viewership. As it stands now, many are naming this past year as one of the best final seasons for any show ever. The only reason NBC is cutting the series short is due to the fact that it's simply too damn good.
Popping a bottle of champagne, Aaron Sorkin commented on the success of his creation. "It's been a great ride. I would be humbled, but, what can I say? It's painfully evident that I cannot not make a hit."
Meanwhile, Matthew Perry, who played executive producer and head writer Matt Albie in the show-within-a-show, laughed at all the offers he's been getting now that his most famous not-Chandler role is finished. "My career could not be soaring higher right now. NBC certainly doesn't want me to go on. They offered me to do another dramedy about some sports talk radio host in a therapy group, but I turned it down. Sounded a bit cheesy to me."
"I'm both laughing and crying," said loyal fan Tina Fey, whose own similar series 30 Rock was cancelled after one season due to piss-poor ratings. "I mean, isn't that what a 'dramedy' is supposed to do?"
The two hour series finale of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip will air Sunday night on NBC opposite of the Super Bowl, as it is by far the only show good enough to compete.
In other news, critics and ex-fans of the long-running series Arrested Development wish Fox would just put it out of its misery.
