Reader Feedback on "Who Can Turn the World On With Her Bile?"
I liked it better than Studio 60 by miles. Also, the product placement on Heroes is even more pervasive if you can believe it.

I caught parts of the show last night (I was interrupted by a phone call). Anyway, you neglect to mention that the show is a shameless promotion of a new actual GE trifecta…or whatever, oven. Not that all TV shows are not shameless promotion, but this weaving of the oven into the background of a main character was a real turn off. So, that’s what I did after the first oven commercial… I turned it off and answered the phone. I also disagree with the idea that Liz and Jack spar as equals. He is the male boss-power suit-corner office guy. When she is told to go to lunch, she goes to lunch, and not before getting ripped to shreds because what she is wearing belongs in the sub-par world of Burger King and K-Mart. She had no rejoinder for those comments, they are too cutting.

What the fuck is post-feminism? Was what I just wrote a post-rhetorical question? Or was this? Or this? Or this . . . Also, why is most of this review a second swipe at the quite good Studio 60? Wasn't one Ada's beefs with that show that its sketches weren't funny? It's ok for Tina Fey but not for Arron Sorkin? Studio 60 may be a drama, but I'd hardly call it dour, and while Sorkin is self-important I'd hardly call him humourless. Obviously NBC feels there is room for two approaches to late night comedy satire, I find it odd Mrs. Slimm Cutta Calhoun cannot find it in her heart to feel the same. There is no room for a shrewd dissection of the world of writing for a living itself in her world? Seems awfully defensive.
