The American Falstaff Society

by Cheryl

So, as promised I tried to research but was unable to find any information about The American Falstaff Society. I did find a Falstaff Society assoicated with Bristol University English Department, and another that was based in New Orleans, but nothing that looked like it could be what Harriet was referring to.
So - I came to the conclusion it was invented and being used as a comedic vehicle for the character. And of course it worked.
If anybody knows anything about this society please be sure to let me know

    This is funny. I am catching up on my episodes and just came across this line. Immediately I jumped on the internet to find out about this Flastaff society and yours was the first entry!

    Thanks for doing the legwork!

About Watching Studio60

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was a show about making a show -- a Friday night sketch comedy living and dying by the ratings and the buzz and the bottom line. It also turned out to be about the ways that overinflated expectations and caustic criticism can doom a TV drama. Still, if you're a fan of great acting and Aaron Sorkin's way with dialog, there's a lot to love in Studio 60's sole season. Read here to look back at the show, and look forward at what the cast and creative powers are doing now.
