Rumor has it that Studio 60 is about to be canceled. And from a strictly business standpoint, it probably makes sense. It went from ranking #22 the first week in the ratings to #50-something recently. Not good for a show that costs $2-3MM per episode to produce.
Unfortunately, this is one of the few shows that have come out this season that I really look forward to. Some of my previous mainstays-- Alias and The West Wing are finished. Others, like Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis are on hiatus, as is 24. This season? I've got Battlestar: Galactica, Heroes, and Studio 60.
I really hope Studio 60 doesn't get canceled. It's one of the smarter shows on right now, but it seems smart can't compete with the likes of America's Next Top Model and Beauty & The Geek (the latter I actually find entertaining). That's what led to the cancellation of great shows like The Critic and Invader Zim.
So everyone, let's keep watching Studio 60. It's worth it.

agreed... but it feels a little too much like gilmore girls, which i hate.
btw, how are you watching your shows? iTunes?
i agree with andy -- studio 60 does have a very gilmore girls feel to it, except i think they mumble more on studio 60. plus studio 60 doesn't have lauren graham or alexis bledel, which automatically bumps them down a couple notches.
perhaps to a seal on their fate -- NBC showed friday night lights in place of studio 60 last night. i suspect the end is near.
