Talk:List of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip episodes

message: I've written episode summaries for two episodes (4AM Miracle and Friday Night Slaughter). Please check and please help in writing episode summaries for the rest. As a current show, it needs to be given coverage as people are likely to come here to seek for information. Please help! I can only write for the latest episodes as I've got them recorded at home but for the early episodes, someone has to kindly contribute and write about. Zuracech lordum 18:09, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Episode summaries

message: Once episodic information is known, it is best to create individual entries, and not include them all on the listing page in my opinion --Jon Cates 20:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A list of episodes is usually the first step taken before individual articles, and even then is kept for navigation and at-a-glance referencing. See Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Television episodes. -- Ned Scott 06:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Episode articles

message: Are the numbers on the right supposed to be production codes/numbers, or "[season number].[episode number]"? If it's the latter, then wouldn't the pilot be considered the first episode of the first season?
::Yes, you are correct. I don't know why it was changed. Sfufan2005 23:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Numbers on the right? 

message: The page showed the Monday airdates on CBS.  However as the show is broadcast 1 day earlier in Canada on CTV, the original airdate should reflect that. Nfitz 06:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: First off this is an AMERICAN series. If you would like to add international airdates contribute to a article dedicated to giving dates for international broadcasts of the show. I'm thinking of creating one sometime in the future but for now I say keep the US airdates. Sfufan2005 20:10, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: UPDATE: I have created the article, sorry if I was a little hostile before. Sfufan2005 20:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Your response does seem off-putting.  The article clearly stated "Original Air Date".  Clearly the article was erroneous and flawed, and needed fixing one way or another.  The obvious solution was to correct the information that was in the article.  Surely the encylopeadic thing to do, is to list the correct information, rather than to bias it to a particular country.  You have since edited the article to show the title as original US airdate. Surely the first time the episode has been aired (rather than the first time it was aired in a particular locale) is more important. I'm not sure why you are saying you created this page, it was created by Hjkgk and edited by Fumo7887, The JumpStation, 69.180.128.169, 217.196.228.193, 70.37.92.6, Fred Bradstadt, and 68.5.180.224 before you ever came involved.  And besides, creation of the page, hardly has any bearing or control on it's contents. Nfitz 19:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

text: First off, you're completely out of line. I did NOT create this page, I created the Airdates page. Second, I think I'm being very fair, people are going to become confused if the airdate is different from the one which was originally intended from NBC. Only a handful of editors on this site know when the episode will be airing in Canada. Third, NBC is the network producing the show, not CTV it should reflect the airdates that they (meaning NBC) releases. Sfufan2005 20:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh hang on ... you said you created the article.  However, I didn't realise there was a URL behind the word article ... I'd recommend writing comments that don't rely on being aware there is a URL ... a short dark blue URL compared to Black on a light-blue background (here at least, doesn't jump out at one).  Hmm, that's a scary page - it will likely air in dozens, if not scores of markets!  Is a database of airdates encyclopedic (I don't know the answer to that). Anyway, all that aside, I think the original air date (whether it be in the U.S., Botswana, or Dili) is encycopedic, and if consistently is broadcast previously outside of it's home market, it should also be listed.  The edit I have made to the article, makes it quite clear, so there should be no confusion. Nfitz 20:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original Airdates 

message: I think "Original Airdate” is very confusing, and should be changed to "Canadian Air Date" since there is a listing for "American Air Date"
:There's actually an entire page/article on airdates. I think these should be more religiously updated there, and perhaps reduced in size on this page.
:Thoughts?

message: not all the pictures should have matt and danny. the one for episode 2 should be the cast singing that one song at the end.
::I agree, but please sign your comments so we know who it's coming from. Sfufan2005 16:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Pictures

message: Hey, who's the new writer who (was an old writer) who sort of coached Darius and Lucy through B12? What was his character name? Really, he should be mentioned in the synopsis (even if not by name, but by presence).

thread_title: New Character from B-12

message: I reverted the singer for the latest episode as that was the stated name of the character in the episode.  Obviously we haven't had to deal with this in the past as the hosts and singers have all been real people.  This then begs the question is this part of the list necessary?  I don't think so as it is about the fictional show rather than the real show.  If others say we should keep it, how should we continue in situations like this.  Keep it with the character, or do character (played by actor), or the actor playing the part?   I would go for either the first or the second one as I doubt that Gina La Piana in real life would be giving drugs to an executive producer of a TV show, and I doubt she would want to be mistaken as such.  EnsRedShirt 12:05, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would prefer to keep that part of the list, I find it interesting and relevant, and I could see a use for that information (plus, episodes are sometimes built around that).  As for what to keep, I vote for the second one, as I was genuinely curious who the actress playing the host was. WLGades 12:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I find the column interesting, but it's place should be on the article for the fictional show, not the real show. Both Diana Valdes and Gina La Piana should be mentioned, in my opinion. Atchius 01:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Diana Valdes or Gina La Piana

message: Shouldn't the writer field be filled in with TBA as well?  We don't *know* that he's writing every episode, do we?  Or have I missed something? WLGades 12:55, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorkin usually writes every episode but I don't really mind if it stays. The only thing that has seemed to need to be updated weekly is which writers provided the idea or story. Sfufan2005 19:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Aaron Sorkin as Writer

message: Does anyone have a source for the information about the last two episodes of the season?  Aside from being poorly written, it doesn't seem like it could be accurate, especially given the fact that details for episodes before it aren't yet available.  I left a message for the user who added the info, and haven't heard back yet... if nobody can come up with a source, i'm gonna get rid of it in a little bit. - seinman 22:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Does anyone have a source for the airdate of the last episode (22)?, why is it down as airing two weeks after episode 21? --Hardy24 17:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Details for last two episodes

message: So NBC is saying on the S60 site that the May 24 episode, which, logically, is episode 17, is The Disaster Show with Allison Janney as guest host. Here it says The Disaster Show is not until episode 21 - any reason for the switch? Are NBC airing out of order, or is the info here mistaken? I've moved The Disaster Show up to 17 and everything else down - if anyone know any better, feel free to revert! Dafyd 22:39, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm adding spoiler tags to this page--the teaser plot for "We're pullin' outta here to win" kind of answers a question raised during this week's episode, Breaking news, re: Tom Jeter's brother. Man, that was a bad decision to read this page on my part. Itsthomson 09:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spoiler tags 

message: This is currently listed as the White Stripes, with a footnote advising that he pulled out and they used the Los Angeles Philharmonic. 1. I would suggest that the actual guest should be in then table and those who pulled out in the footnote. 2. The actual musical guest were the fictional "West Coast Philharmonic" and "Los Angeles Light Opera Chorus". Thoughts on making this change?
