Quick, get Joshua Malina a cameo, while it's still on

NBC is about to cancel Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, one of the most hyped shows of the fall season, FoxNews.com columnist Roger Friedman reported Sunday, citing unnamed insiders. Although the network announced last week that it had ordered three additional scripts, and top executives continued to praise the quality of the show, cast members have reportedly told friends that cancellation is imminent, the cable news network said. Ratings for the show, from producer-writer Aaron Sorkin, continue to slide, with last week's audience tallied at 7.7 million versus 17.5 million for CBS's CSI: Miami in the same time period. Fox said that the show will likely be replaced with a reality series or game show.

Ah, reality series/game show, read: "we're bleeding money." Fantastic.

Damnit! The one new show I like this season, and it gets struck by the Curse of Me. Seriously, don't they see the irony in cancelling a show about...oh, nevermind. I quit. I'll just start watching Wifeswap or something.

The irony of replacing it with a reality show truly is overwhelming. Maybe it'll be about mutual masturbation.
