There's an old saying in Hollywood: The best way to start a TV show is with a pilot. This week, Tim, Dan, and special guest Abbey Kindler watch as Aaron Sorkin tries his best to prove that saying wrong. This episode has everything from Paddy Chayefsky references to Network references and nothing in between. Welcome to Studio 60, the least funny place on the planet.

At last, the end is upon us. Recently promoted co-host Kevin Flynn (Whale Whale Whale) joins Tim and Dan for one final excursion into the depths of Aaron Sorkin's psyche. What they find is a bunch of dangling plot threads that somehow manage to resolve themselves without any of the characters having to do anything. It's what a finale that a more generous reviewer would call "frustratingly optimistic." But wait until you hear our ideas for season two!

In a perfect world, the third episode of a three-part story arc would at least attempt to resolve some of its myriad storylines. But that's not how Sorkin does it, baby! Comedy writer (and official Crazy Christians Two-Timers Club member) Kevin Flynn joins us to ponder this anti-climactic penultimate episode of Studio 60. Simon should for sure be fired! Matt has a bone to pick with George Bush's "megaphone moment!" And over half the cast fails to appear in the episode!

In a cynical attempt to boost their own ratings, Tim and Dan kidnap Tim's younger brother Matt and force him against his will to watch a late-season episode of Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip. Luckily (or unluckily) he managed to get stuck with an episode where not much happens. Sorkin is really treading water on this one until NBC pulls the proverbial plug. Flashback Matt can't help himself with the political humor! Jordan's medical problems prevent her from appearing in this episode! And Simon finally reveals himself to be this show's true villain!

Last week, it seemed like things couldn't get any more heightened. But now Sorkin has added in some kidnapping, ransom, and some much needed flashbacks to the weeks following 9/11. It is truly a recipe for comedy. Joining Dan and Tim for the intro to the K&R trilogy is ClickHole contributor and all around good guy Gabriel Laks. Watch as Danny and Jordan get engaged! The sexual harassment lawyer reveals her black ops connections! And, finally, Luke Scott gets to pitch his 100% Islamophobia sketch show!
