Are you watching the show that's supposed to put the 'must see' back into NBC? I have been. It's not bad. It might even be okay.

The hype machines were working overtime before the premiere; you would have been hardpressed to find a bad review of the show (by my accounts, at least). New York didn't gush like everyone else. That's about the only criticism I found out there. And that article hit it dead on. It's a show about how awesome Aaron Sorkin is and how unawesome networks can be. Oh, and how important TV shows are. The only thing New York failed to mention was the unbelievabilty of a few of the characters.

The absolutely gorgeous Amanda Peet is absolutely gorgeous, but her role shouldn't have been her role. She's too young and hot to be the head of NBC (NBS). And if she is the head, isn't she spending too much time on one show? A show that airs on Friday nights, at that?

Then there's the Christian Comic. Not buying that caricature for a second. And the celebrity status of the writers? I thought SNL writers only became celebrities after they were no longer SNL writers. Whatever. Just give me your autograph.

But I still DVR the show. It might get better. However, the scenes for tonight aren't that promising. Out of nowhere, there's some crazy love drama that I should really care about - that I've been wondering about all my life. And the moment we've all been waiting for . . . will Chandler Bing get back together with the Christian Comic? Make yourself some hot cocoa, grab a pillow and tune in tonight for the answer to a question that can't be more than 3 episodes old. Unless you're Aaron Sorkin. And for a much better review of the show, check this out.

Off the subject completely, but never start Jake Plummer. Especially if Jake Delhomme is on your bench. And you know what? The Ravens might secretly suck. So might the Falcons. So might I.
