The more "Studio 60" mentions the sketch "Crazy Christians," the more credibility it loses with me. That sketch sounds absolutely like the kind of bad TV they're supposedly avoiding. It's also very odd that it exists in a parallel universe where a show exactly like "Saturday Night Live" in every way exists alongside SNL, and is every bit as revered and long-running but no one seems to notice that they're exactly the same.As Michael Grady pointed out to me today, the main problem with this show is that the comedy bits they show have to be funny - to make Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford taking over (the whole premise of the show, mind you) worthwhile. And Aaron Sorkin, for all of his talents, just isn't that funny - as seen in the Gilbert and Sullivan bit.
The rest was pretty good, although Steven Weber has to feel bad that he looks so much worse than Tim Daly at this point (even though Daly is five years his "senior," as we say. And Daly is undeniably a hunk, right?).
On the side-by-side comparison, you gotta just feel bad for the guy:
