NBC is replacing the waaaay overated and underperforming drama/comedy this Monday night with another struggling hour, "Friday Night Lights." Is it the beginning of the end? Not at all, an unidentified source told the NY Post. The network's pipe is that while audiences for "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" keep falling each week, the remaining viewers are upscale types who attract advertisers. This one will be interesting to see play out because you have two conflicting forces at play. On one side is the show's enormous production cost (reported at $3 million an episode) that can't be going down well at cost-conscious NBC. But on the other side, you have their golden boy, Aaron Sorkin, who NBC was so hot to sign that it guaranteed 13 episodes no matter what.

Updated: An alert reader notes that the NY Post story had the wrong date. It's Oct. 30, a week from Monday.
