WE DO LIVE HERE NOW: I had a big long Studio 60 post queued up, but it got lost in tech shennanigans. Given that of 6 seasons of TV he's been responsible for (4 seasons of TWW and 2 of SportsNight), Sorkin's produced 5 great Christmas episodes ("In Excelsis Deo," "Noel," "Bartlet For America," "Holy Night," and "Six Southern Gentlemen of Tennessee Tech") and 1 pretty good one ("The Reunion" and the quest for the perfect cheese grater), we shouldn't have worried about one finally hitting on pretty much every note. Hell, the cold open sketch was funnier than anything on SNL last week in concept, even if the little bit of News 60 we saw could have been improved with a "bear said ROAR!" joke. Maybe NBC saw this before picking up the entire season--this one makes that decision make almost complete sense.
