Lights Out @ "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip"
The most anticipated new show of the 2006-2007 season, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" from the brilliant mind of Aaron Sorkin, that quickly turned into the biggest flop of the season (at least from a Nielsen perspective) quietly ended its run on NBC last night with a happy-ending.
The drama gave pleasant conclusions to its open plotlines with Danny celebrating his fatherhood as Jordan came up with adoption papers for him to sign. Matt and Harriet also got a schmaltzy resolution - she decided to spend the rest of her life with him, they confessed their undying love to each other and made out like crazy.
As for the ratings, although the 4,25 million people who tuned in was a far cry from the 13+ million who sampled the pilot back in September 2006 when the behind-the-scenes drama debuted with promise, the series finale did ironically manage to win the timeslot in the 18-49 category.
I bet Steven Weber's hilarious character would be happy to hear that.

perhaps it did not have the highest ratings, but it was definitely one of the best written shows in years.
After watching each of the episodes, I always found myself asking why such an incredibly written show was canceled.
Shame on NBC for not giving this show a real chance to grow its audience. They demand instant success or nothing. It is this approach that will keep them at the bottom of the network list.
Good show but low ratings !
I agree with Mark Studio 60 was one of the best new shows this year,but just like The Black Donnely's was different from other shows.Anyway I liked the finale and I thought it was one of the best episodes of this season.
Justin I have a off-topic question for you: news about Friday Night Lights????? Nothing ??? When season 2 will begin ?
