Another Take on Studio 60: Forced and Phony

studio 60 on the sunset strip cast

One of KCRW's newer contributors, Associated Press TV writer Frazier Moore, is one of our favorites. Like many podcasts, we subscribe to his and it's always a delight to hear a fresh perspective on all things TV. Here is Moore on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip:

I have to marvel how this pales beside the real-life jam ABC put itself in last week with its factually disputed miniseries The Path to 9/11. Witlessly waving a red flag in front of every hopped-up liberal and conservative in the land, ABC was truly faced with a monumental public relations mess.

By contrast, some unhinged producer mouthing off on late-night TV -- most viewers would dismiss that as refreshing diversion.

Which means from its first scene, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip exposes itself as being forced and phony.

Most viewers would be cool with the diatribe, but the guy from standards wouldn't. Which is, if I remember correctly, exactly how it went down on the show.

Sounds like a reach in an effort to be a contrarian voice.
