“A FOX NEWS REPORT THAT NBC’s heavily promoted “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” would be dropped from the schedule created a frisson Monday, but appears to be premature.

An NBC representative said in an email the show hasn’t been cancelled. The rep wrote: “It is profitable at this point.” In fact, the network has ordered three more episodes of the show.

“Studio 60″ is scheduled to air next Monday in its usual 10 p.m. slot, although a boffo performance by “Friday Night Lights” in the slot last night–where it was placed for a trial run–could potentially change things. But a more likely scenario would be a time-period change for “Studio 60″–not a retirement–a source said.”

Studio 60 will be cancelled and it is a TV tragedy. Unfortunately, NBC is looking at its cost, its lack of substaintal 18-49 demo points, and the lack of a lead-in audience from Heros. By those measures, the show is doomed. I just hope that Sorkin gets back into TV or movies asap. He's too damned good to be locked in a closet. Here's to getting Aaron Sorkin back in the saddle sooner rather than later! It’s true. Studio 60 will be cancelled and it is a TV tragedy.
