I didn't think of that. Don't say it. Don't even think it. Please. The show is that good - and so revealing - that cutting it off would be a distinct possibility.

Loved the debate. If only...

That's been in the background from the beginning, so I wouldn't take it as a sign of the show ending.

Then again, they did cancel 'Sports Night' on us so Sorkin could do 'The West Wing'...

This time, though, I don't think Sorkin has another show up his sleeve this soon. So relax, take some deep breaths, and find something to do during the looooooong wait for the next season.

Thanks for looking that up and putting our minds at rest. Apparently some of us were too impaired by the idea of a cancellation to even remember we could check it out for ourselves. Not that any of us (I) might be easily discouraged. I mean, Snookie educates as much as she entertains. Right?

didn't you? Breaking my heart a little more. Lol.

So does a Stewart and a Colbert = one Bill Maher? Not really, but what's a girl to do?
