    "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" lives up to the advance hype, easily qualifying as one of the best new broadcast series of the fall.

    Here's hoping that the strong whiff of sanctimony in the pilot of "Studio 60" is blown away by fresh air in future episodes.

    Really, I just wish it were funny. Not walking-banter funny, or look-what-I-know funny, but funny funny. Even a little bit.

    The first episode references the '76 film Network, clearly (to anyone who has seen the whole season) as both a renunciation and a warning. My recommendation - unless you can't be kept from anything with a whiff of westwing (allison janney fans - ep17, wherein every gag from the previous 16 episodes is recompiled into the 30 sec before the title), or you thought 30rock could have used an extra 20 minutes of long-winded 'i love you even though you believe in angels &/or are carrying some other guy's baby or whatever' speeches, give this one a miss. "sure beats digging a hole for a living"… Expand
