Notes From Monday Night...

Here are some comments on Monday night’s viewing…

You know that I’m a fan of “The Class,” but it ticked me off pretty good Monday night. I understand that the show wants to inject new blood by bringing in Sara Gilbert (though I don’t think it’s necessary), but making her Richie’s girlfriend? He tried to kill himself twice, went out with Lina twice, and we never knew he had a girlfriend? Sorry, I don’t call that a twist. I call that a dirty trick…

I liked the plagiarism story on “Studio 60,” but I found the latest twists in the Matt-Harriet story to be a little melodramatic/ Plus, Aaron Sorkin already did this story on “Sports Night”—only Felicity Huffman was the producer and Peter Krause was the talent. And they never got together—which I’m still mad about—because of Sorkin’s increasingly inane ways of keeping them apart. I certainly hope he’s not planning the same tactics here, because that will get old…

How about that “Heroes” ending? HOLY COW!!! That show seriously rocks! I’m more confused than ever about Niki, but it looks like we’ll get answers (and some interesting connections) very soon. By the way, Monday night’s episode was written by Jeph Loeb, who is one of the most talented writers in comics today. You can see the episode again at www.nbc.com. Trust me. It’s worth it—if only for those last five minutes…
