New-dio 60

It's back! Now that there's been enough time to react to all of the bad reviews the show has gotten, I can't wait for the "TV critics don't have the right to criticize my show" episode. Nah, actually I started to honestly...enjoy? "Studio 60" the last couple of weeks before the hiatus, heavy-handedly co-opting the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina aside. However, it is really annoying to see the commercials that act like Danny/Jordan (or as I call them, "JorDan") are some sort of fated, star-crossed lovers when that's barely been played up at all on the show. Tonight, the gang takes on the FCC! Take that, conservative patriarchy! (actually, the FCC is a pretty great target, if not done to death, for Sorkin's distinctive, left-leaning preachyness). Here's an interesting article about us folks who actually like the show.

Also new tonight: "Heroes." Are YOU on the list? Probably not. You're not a fictional character.
