http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/29/Studio-60-on-the-Sunset-Strip---A-Satisfying.aspx Tonight on a very special STUDIO 60 &hellip; Jordan survives. Tom&rsquo;s brother survives. Harriet and Matt get back together. It&rsquo;s the series finale, folks! Even though Aaron Sorkin likes to hit us where it hurts with the serious stuff, the man likes a happy, satisfying ending. Tonight&rsquo;s episode definitely hit a couple of melodramatic (as in music swelling, people cheering) bumps, but overall, I&rsquo;ll stand by my claim that this show is damn good television. Why? Mostly because of two amazingly well-written, well-acted scenes. The first is between Jordan (Amanda Peet) and Danny (Bradley Whitford). For the past three weeks, we&rsquo;ve been waiting to find out if Jordan would live or die; if Danny would lose his new daughter or not. On tonight&rsquo;s episode, Danny has finally given in and decided to get Jordan to sign guardianship papers. While having an awkwardly funny argument (awkward in the good, too-nervous-to-stay-serious way) with the nurse, the doctor comes out to give him some news. The camera pulls back to the waiting room where Harriet (Sarah Paulson) says a quick prayer. I&rsquo;m just waiting for the overdone moment when a person crumbles to the floor after hearing bad news, but no. Of course, now is a perfect time for a commercial. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/29/Studio-60-on-the-Sunset-Strip---A-Satisfying.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/29/Studio-60-on-the-Sunset-Strip---A-Satisfying.aspx#842 BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!!!!!<br /><br />Maybe I wasn't clear before, so let me try again:<br />- Studio 60 = GOOD TV. Well written. Good cast. Touches political, religious, social and all sorts of important crap.<br /><br />- Deal or no deal = fun once in a while, but I could live without it.<br />- You think you can dance = WTF?

I really loved Studio 60. I felt like I was watching from behind the scenes doc, rather than a TV show. I is a well oiled machine. I will miss it.
