Interestingly, both Sorkin's show, and Tina Fey's show got picked up.

By the same network, no less!

You know, I just have to take a moment to bitch about I'm annoyed with TV producers First, they do this extra minute bullshit, which only annoys TiVo users, but we compensated. And now, they are moving season finales to new days/times? the fuck? If I didn't have TiVo, I'd be living in fear that I'd miss a finale or something. As is it now, they are competing against things that they shouldn't compete against. ARGH.

umm. sorry that was kind of nonsensical.

GA is moving to Thursdays at 9, which is when Aaron Sorkin's new show, Studio 60 is airing. Fire up those DVR's.

Oy vey. At least I won't have to worry about the OC.

Hey, I'm in your field. I think.

Would a capital campaign name generator make you laugh?

NBC has resorted to burning Lorne Michaels for fuel.

Cheaper than gas.

Yay, Kathy!

they are moving season finales to new days/times?

In Israel, whenever people complain about shows starting too early or ending too late, or moved to a different timeslot altogether, especially without any notice, a common answer is "it's better in the USA, it doesn't happen there". Oh, well.

blah blah blah raising the next generation of right-wing Christian warriors blah...

The people behind BattleCry, veteran Christian youth organizer Ron Luce and his backers (who include Charles Colson, Ted Haggard, and Pat Robertson) don't like the America where I grew up. And it's more than just the separation of church and state.

...

But BattleCry Philadelphia was more than just a vulgar carnival designed to suck donations into the coffers of Ron Luce's corporation "Teen Mania". Indeed, it had a point, to recruit the future elite "warriors" in the coming battle against the separation of church and state. It turned dark and frightening on Saturday afternoon. After Franklin "Islam is a Wicked Religion" Graham came out to thunder against the evils of homosexuality and the Iraqi people (whom he considers to be exactly the same people as the ancient Babylonians who enslaved the tribes of Israel and deserving, one would assume, the exact same fate) we heard an explosion. Flames shot out on stage and a team of Navy Seals was shown on the big TV monitors in full camouflage creeping forward down the hallway from the locker room with their M16s. They were hunting us, the future Christian leaders of America. Two teenage girls next to me burst into tears and even I, a jaded middle-aged male, almost jumped out of my skin. I imagined for that moment what it must have felt like to have been a teacher at Columbine high school. 10 seconds later they rushed out onstage and pointed their guns in our direction firing blanks spitting flames. About 1000 shots and bang, we were all dead.

um.... that's kinda'... wrong.

Re 24, all I can say is Aaron'N'FLOTUS4EVAH!!11!1111!!! I actually applauded when she shot the guy who was going to tire iron Aaron.

Question, where the FRELL is Wayne Palmer? I know Martha's assistant & her daughter have got to be dead, despite not having seen it, but when did Wayne vanish?

ITA, Frank -- Aaron + FLOTUS = OTP.

And I was wondering the same thing about Wayne. He just kind of...vanished. I'm assuming he's not dead, because that would have been a pretty big deal. But I can't for the life of me remember where he went after the bank robbery.

Damn, I forgot all about Wayne Palmer -- perhaps he'll make an amazing comeback next week? Because I cannot believe that Bierko is back.
