Turns out that the gods have arranged it so that I'm going to be home tonight to watch the final episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and, although the redoubtable Ken Houghton has offered to take on the live-blogging chores for a third time, I'm going to take the controls myself tonight. I started this party and I think I should be the one to finish it.
And party's the right word. The show itself has never been the point of the live-blogging for me. What I've enjoyed is the virtual parties that get thrown in the comment section. It's been lots of fun and I want to thank all of you who've contributed or just stopped by to lurk. What I'd like then is for tonight to be our farewell party.
Everyone's invited. Even if you've never watched the show, even if you've given up and wild horses couldn't drag you back, even if you have no plans to watch tonight, and even if you've steered clear of these live-blogs before, please stop by here after 9:45 PM EST and comment away. Comment on whatever. Feel free to ignore those of us watching the show and start a coversation on some other topic, leave a link to a song, boost your own blog, boost a pal's, or just keep us updated on the ball scores. Just, please, stop in and at least say hi.
See you tonight.
I felt a sense of futility with a sudden urge to bang my head against the wall, which made me think, Oh! Studio 60 must be on. I should comment. And then I realized it was just a regular sense of futility. Live blogging has not yet begun.
Any hints as to whom the opening act will be?? If it's yet undecided... I vote for Tom Jones!

It's Not Unusual.
If we assume that the precis offered three weeks ago is correct, then the opening act is BROOOOCE.
I'm still hoping for Joshua Molina. There are some traditions that should not die, even if this would be a mercy killing.

Word has it that the DVD set will be STANDING in the middle of BEST BUY in September.
To be retitled Jack Rudolph, Action Executive... and Pals I hope.

"Jack Rudolph, Action Executive... and Pals"

Bossy only likes to watch shows three years after they've gone off the air, like Six Feet Under. That's because she likes to spend big money to rent DVDs of the very shows she could have watched for free.

They're still not free, Bossy. You still have to pay for cable. And in the case of some shows... you pay in so many other ways even if they are free.

Hey, guys. Sorry I missed you last week, but I wouldn't miss being here at the bitter end.
