You are correct. Perhaps dpz301 is just pasting her head on every chick's body. There were really only two women in that episode, Jenny and Kim.

Decidedly they will be the central characters for a while. But what can you expect when one is incarcerated, one is fighting brain damage in the hospital and Kevin is simply itching to score some cash to lose at the track (that or throwing up behind a van in his boxers). Would anyone care about those storylines? The whole conceit of the show is that Tommy is going to be bailing the moron siblings out of trouble most of the time.

So I just watched the online only episode. No clue what makes it "too shocking for TV". It was a little better than the second episode. Does seem to be improving, but as stated in the thread before, If the show vanished, I wouldn't be upset. Honestly I'd prefer it did and have Studio 60 back.

This show does nothing for me.

I love that it's actually pulling lower ratings than Studio 60. I hope Sorkin is laughing his ass off at the NBC execs.

This show isn't going to make it. For some reason the very idea of this reminds me of the 1989 NBC show called Dream Street.

The online episode seems to contain some pretty important plot points to be not airing it?

As to the "too shocking for TV" thing, I'm guessing somebody decided:
