I think, after that 400th episode, they can safely put The Simpsons to bed now.

It was, in a word, underwhelming.

I missed most of the episode but that's what my husband said too. He was really disappointed in it, called it "not funny".

So (according to EW), "Studio 60" averaged 8.5 million viewers, whilst "Friday Night Lights" averaged 6.1 million viewers.

Consequently, NBC (No Bastard Clue) renew......... the show with fewer viewers.

That makes perfect sense and if was an advertiser at NBC I would doubtless see the decision as a good one.

Friday Night Lights is a good show...but then again, so was Studio 60.

I was actually glad to not have their respective, goofy, uninteresting, love lives crammed in my face.  I personally would much prefer the show to be about the show within the show, they just didn't do it well this time.

I am glad How I Met Your Mother is coming back on. I don't know how I feel about the BIG BANG THEORY. too much of a really bad clique to me.

Now just because JERICHO is not on the line up doesn't mean it is over. They could bring it back Mid-season. They do that sometimes but don't tell you just to mess with you. They have a few shows that are listed as "coming back mid-season" but really I think they have more stored up for when one of their new shows, i.e. BIG BANG THEORY, bombs.

So maybe all you JERICHO fans won't have to be too disappointed.

Usually they're pretty up front about what is coming back as a mid-season replacement. They don't really purposely hold back information just to "mess with" viewers. Because that also messes with advertisers, and that's just bad business.

Maybe the mid-season replacements have not been chosen. I can't see only three shows coming back mid-season. But then again what do I know.
And how does it work with new shows that start in the "mid season"? That they have the pilots all ready but are not sure if they want to try them out just yet?

Some pilots get picked up but are told they will be mid-season replacements because there's no room for them on the schedule at this time. Other MSRs come from shows that haven't been pitched yet, but will be in the fall.

One of the dangers of announcing that a show has been cancelled is that the actors will then go an attach themselves to other projects (because they like to work - funny, that). So you basically make everyone on a show a "free agent" and it's damn near impossible to get them back together.

Yeah geesh. Picky actors. What do they need money for? To eat! HA! I have always said that actors are servers because they get at least one free meal a day!
Which I also know is not true but still. Being a server does give you a more flexible schedule to audition.
