Programming Note: The Man Comes Around
by Ken Houghton
I volunteered to take one for the team, but Lance is stepping up to the plate himself—his only live appearance during the Burnoff Episodes of Studio 60.*
That in itself should make it worth being there at 10:00pm Eastern. The other questions:
These, and other questions, Tonight at Mannion's Place. Be there.
*My wife thinks she saw in EW that the show has been renewed. Fortunately, this rumour is unconfirmed.
**Robert Klein reference.
***"My pl*ms, y**r g*ms" doesn't seem likely to be Matt/Harriet dialog. Whether this means anything is left as an exercise.
****One of the best lines in the book, but curiously (yeah, right) left out of the adaptation so far, which has lasted several months and may have gotten to Page 60.
"Nothing is forgotten/Or Forgiven/When It's Your Last Time around."
I volunteered to take one for the team, but Lance is stepping up to the plate himself—his only live appearance during the Burnoff Episodes of Studio 60.*
That in itself should make it worth being there at 10:00pm Eastern. The other questions:
- Will Joshua Molina make an appearance, or will his Every-Sorkin-Show-Ever-Recorded** streak end with a whimper?
- Will The Boss really be the Special Musical Guest?
- Will Lance work in any references to Meadowlands*** (the series, not to be confused with the last place I saw The Boss)?
- Will Pen-Elayne hold true to her Nevermore vow?
- Will my DVR again refuse to record the episode?
- Now that Gigi has been "Cruised"**** herself, will Hour 932 of The Starter Wife beat S60 in the ratings?

PSA
by Ken Houghton
His lead-in piece is a must-read whether you watch the show or not.
I'm live-blogging S60 tonight at Mannion's Place, ca. 10:00pm.

Mannion To The Ready
by Ken Houghton
Starting Thursday, May 24th (mercifully, the first day after sweeps), head over to Mannion's Place for The Last Throes:
Can't wait for the inevitable reaction from Ken Levine as well.
Need to deal with the time between S3 and Shrek3 and the film of HP5 and HP7?
Starting Thursday, May 24th (mercifully, the first day after sweeps), head over to Mannion's Place for The Last Throes:
Highly touted but low rated drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which has been on hiatus since mid-February, will return on NBC Thursday in place of ER on May 24 at 10 p.m. ET....
It is not expected back next season when NBC makes its fall 2007 prime-time schedule announcement (at New York City’s famed Rockefeller Center) on May 14.
Can't wait for the inevitable reaction from Ken Levine as well.

Programming Note
by Ken Houghton
The comments are usually interesting, at least. (Occasionally moreso than the episodes.)
TiVo permitting, I'll be live at Mannion's place tonight, trying to explain why pc = wL + V s.t. T = L + l does not apply to Studio 60.
The comments are usually interesting, at least. (
