"How can Studio 60 be so self-aware and still manage to be unfunny?"

the characters talk back and forth with such authority about what is and isn't funny and neither they nor their show are funny. that's fucking remarkable.

did dude just repeat cruise's today show rant over a year after it happened?

Funny, it's billed as a "Drama." Hmm, fancy that.
Oct 03rd 2006

but the unfunny sketch material is kind of jarring, no?
Oct 03rd 2006

Think about this. What's the point of the show?
Oct 03rd 2006

      they spend entire scenes on it though
Oct 03rd 2006

           But again, we've only mostly seen REHEARSALS.

           it doesn't matter

                     yes they do have to convince me they are funny.
Oct 03rd 2006
14
                          Then you're watching the wrong show
Oct 03rd 2006
15
                               It's good to know characters in a drama
Oct 03rd 2006
18
                                    That's funny, because I'm willing to wager I know more actors and
Oct 03rd 2006
21
                                         I didn't say they should be funny all the time
Oct 03rd 2006

                                              A few points
Oct 03rd 2006
32
                                                   jesus enuff with the Mad TV bashing.
Oct 03rd 2006
33
                                                   It's not bashing - it's called THE TRUTH
Oct 03rd 2006
34
                                                        no its called YOUR OPINION
Oct 04th 2006

                                                   I can be funny once in an 8 hour period

           Okay, now I just saw more evidence.
Oct 03rd 2006
10
                but all the characters talk about is how funny they are
Oct 03rd 2006
11
                and ratings are better than ever!!!!
Oct 03rd 2006
12
                Because, one more time, the show is not about whether or not
Oct 03rd 2006
13
                     so.....if omar couldn't convince you he'd kill people
Oct 03rd 2006
16
                          That's called a crime drama. Big difference.
