How clever…
In watching Monday’s show - I was getting a little irritated by Matt’s continuing joke about Danny being pregnant and not having the B12 shot. It wasn’t funny when he began and it got less and less funny the more he continued. However - it all became clear, when Jordan was lying on the floor of her office and tells Danny to make sure she doesn’t get the shot. The dramatic beat as Danny leaves the office, and then we see him put his head back around the door - the metaphorical light bulb very bright above his head - and we know that Matt’s words are ringing in his ears - You are pregnant - Lights out, End of show. Brilliant.
It is this writing that makes Studio 60 so entertaining. I was reading a web site hosted by the Chicago Tribune and the posts were going back and forth about how bad - No how good etc etc etc this show is - but the best comment was - If you dont like it, Dont Watch it, but let those of us who do, watch it and enjoy it. It’s entertainment - it doesn’t have to be true to life, it just has to entertain. And it does - In spades.

I was wondering how they were going to hide her pregnancy. I wasn’t expecting them to write it into the script, although it certainly does complicate her storyline, doesn’t it?
