Last fall, NBC launched two "Saturday Night Live"-inspired series. One went on to draw more viewers than "The Office" and "Family Guy." One went on to draw more crickets than "Celebrity Duets." Guess which one's not looking long for this world? "Studio 60," once considered the struggling network's great new "ER" hope, has been sentenced to a working summer, rolling out new episodes on Thursdays starting May 24, the network noted, not announced, on its Website. The timing couldn't appear to be worse for the long-benched Aaron Sorkin series. May 24 is one day after the conclusion of May sweeps, and 10 days after NBC unveils its fall schedule. In other words, "Studio 60" isn't auditioning for a second season; it's burning off its first season. The show was pulled from the air in February. Through its first 16 telecasts, it averaged 8.5 million viewers, , more than some series that have already had their tickets punched for the 2007-08 season, including "The Office."
