Hmm it seems like it' going to be an interesting epsidoe. Matt got a lot of stuff to deal with a virus and only 2 writers

I think i know what Jordan is going to tell Danny

**tidbit2008** · 11-26-2006, 12:01 PM

It's bound to be a very crazy, interesting, but crazy episode

At this point, I think almost everyone knows what Jordan is gonna tell Danny.. I know and I don't read spoilers.. this one was hard to avoid, it's been all over the place.

Well... I didn't find the episode as incredible as usual BUT I'm slowly falling under Danny/Jordan's spell. Didn't think I would but I find Danny worrying about Jordan quite adorable.

Loved the Jack/Jordan scenes. Just a bit too short for my liking.

Harriet trying to tell a joke reminded me a lot of myself

Loved the little Harriet/Matt bit, as always.

I guess I just didn't find the sketches really funny...

I liked the ep, maybe not as much as last week but right up there.

Loved the ending with the baby, but that really a shock to anyone? and the mix of the "studio 60" stuff with in the show.

And Harriet can't tell a joke

iheartbsb · 11-27-2006, 09:17 PM

Ok, loved the episode, not as much as usual, but still it was good. It was a bit confusing going back and forth between the past and present, but it made for an interesting show.

Harriet can't tell a joke -- cracked me up! hehe.

The whole issue with the virus...it didn't seem like it was the big of an issue. It seemed like it was just a roundabout way to get them to say that Jordan was pregnant. I mean without the virus, they couldn't have done the B12 bit with Matt and Danny, then we wouldn't have had the extra suspense with the whole "I can't have B12" from Jordan to Danny realizing why she can't have it. I guess I just thought they played up the virus thing a bit too much.

I like Danny and Jordan together. They have this brother/sister relationship thing...I know you shippers probably won't like that, but it's true to a certain extent...although at the same time they would be cute together maybe. I can't decide.

Who played the guest writer? And why does he look so familiar?

I thought the monologue bit was great. hehe. The sketches are getting better. and I like that they are actually trying to incorporate the musical guest stars.

Okay, promo time...Umm...a Christmas episode now means hiatus time is not too far away. *sigh* Winter hiatus is no fun! Ok, and this time I really do think Matt was about to kiss Harriet.

Not a bad episode

Andy was cool. I hope we see more of him in future episodes. Anyone else wanna bet Danny was that message board poster from the get go? It was nice to see Martha back, but I thought she was funnier last time. She aslo had a larger role last time so there ya go. Harriet can't tell a joke, I just kept laughing at the poor thing

Not a bad save on Matt's part with the spit take.

Jordan really did just kick herself in the hindquarters. Surely things'll come out okay. And I thought she was funny, but I'm biased..

My Danny/Jordan at the end so overall I was happy. He is so cute.. I knew it'd come out that she was pregnant tonight. I'd hoped we'd find out who the dad is, but I'm not totally surprised at the cliffhanger ending.

Oh and good previews

Review - Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: B-12 - TV Squad

Yep over the next week or so a lot of shows go on a break, one the one hand it's great to gather your thoughts but sometimes Hiatus sucks when they have stupid cliffhangers to get us back come jan/feb.

I hope next week they go out on a high.

catkirk7 · 11-27-2006, 11:01 PM

I liked the ep a lot. I loved Andy. i thought he was hilarious in his "serious" way.

ONe thing I will say about Jordan's interview - she wasn't bunnyish. And I have to say I agree with her that an editor should put the kabosh on too many adjectives modified with an -ish.

Liked Harriet not being able to tell a joke.

At the end I wanted to kick myself for not realizing why Matt kept making all those 'Don't take the shot because you're pregnant' jokes. I'd even been discussing Amanda Peet's very obvious pregnancy. Stupid, stupid Christine.

Thanks for bringing over that review. I pretty much agree with it and I'm DEFINITELY wondering who the father is.

IndieBoy<3Curly · 11-27-2006, 11:21 PM

Good episode. I liked the quick pace it seemed to be moving in but the whole rewind/fastforward with the moving between days thing threw me off once or twice.

I loved how they randomly threw in Harriet's incapacity to tell a proper joke every once in a while. The whole episode was more fueled than usual what with the writing trouble, the effect of the Grosse Pointe murder/suicide and Jordan's big "shocker", Harriet's bits seemed to lighten the mood and I loved it.

The guest writer was great, I thought the the way he handled Lucy and Darius by making them watch themselves flop was very clever and I'm wondering where I've seen him before.

But yeah, I liked him.

And Jordan's pregnant? You dont say.

iheartbsb · 11-28-2006, 08:58 AM

Anyone think Jordan dressed a little out of character this week. All of a sudden she was going for this high-powered executive look with her hair pulled back. She even wore a more suitable outfit for the environment, even if I didn't really care for the choice in wardrobe.

jayta · 11-28-2006, 09:13 AM

The episode was good. Not the greatest. But I'm biased as there wasn't enough Harriet and Matt

Danny/Jordan: People are getting on the bandwagon? I'm with you SpySyd (

btw, long time no see

) as I think Jack/Jordan...OMGosh I love them more each time I see them. They just have that 'zing' factor.

And casn you imagine what's going to happen when he finds out?

I did like the Danny/Jordan moment. The news will definitely shut those media people up. I really hope it's not that ex-hubbie dude's baby. How crazy would it be if it was Jack's?

Wouldn't happen, but it would be hilarious!

They do feel more brother-sisterish....

I'm not feeling Martha. She just doesn't play well. I don't know what it is.

I am loving Darius/Lucy. Taking a liking to them.

mona: The guest writer/'friend' used to be part of the Canadian group 'Kids on the Block'.

catkirk7 · 11-28-2006, 10:16 AM

If the baby was Jack's it would open up a whole new can of worms since he's married.

Latecomer · 11-28-2006, 11:08 AM

as a Jewish woman I had a good laugh over the whole mitzvah thing and over the Jewish joke.

I think the title and description of this show was very misleading. It was hardly about b-12 an hardly about hostages. Jordan throws a bombshell at Danny? You dont see any reactions on any faces... i expected something totally different.

btw - since when cant you get a b-12 shot in pregnancy???

chaotic4life · 11-28-2006, 11:49 AM

Really liked the episode.

The back and forth was a little confusing at first, but really well done. It made it quite interesting.

The whole virus thing, as many of you have mentioned, appeared like an extreme filler. It somehow didn't seem to further the storyline in anyway, although the whole spiel of Danny and Matt and the pregnancy was hilarious.

Loved "the girl" being promoted ... that was some excellent timing and dialogue work there.

I love Jordan more and more each episode. The interview with the times was extremely funny and very true. I was kind of surprised she had a total meltdown afterwards, I guess the hormonal reactions were realistic.

What I can't really get a grasp on was the Studio being so old that it was raining through the roof everywhere, but nobody really mentioned that. With all the equipment in the building this would be an immediate danger for the whole production, wouldn't it?
