Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

[day_for_night]

can't believe there are no threads about this one...

from what i've caught so far (i'm a little behind, been lazy with my bit torrenting), this is living up to the hype. I'm so happy to see aaron sorkin back writing a good series with a cast that has just bucketloads of potential.

I will say, its not as good as the west wing so far, but really i don't think anything is gonna top that show for me. Pretty hard to top Martin Sheen, Alisson Janey, Richard Schiff, etc...

Its also very very strange to see Brad Whitford doing a character other than Joshua Lyman. Especially one that has a coke problem! I just want him to yell "Donna!", just once on this show.

I am still waiting for a true "sorkin moment", and the cast doesnt seem like its jelling quite yet, but i expect great things from this one.

ohh, and go buy west wing on dvd. that is all.

Re: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

I like this show, a lot. Its one of the better of the new season imho.

The writting and direction are great. . . and fill the gap left by the wonderful West Wing.

The cast, headed by Whitford and Perry (a complete pleasent suprise), are great and draw you into the trials and tribulations of their daily inter-relationships.

Love it love it love it!!!!

Re: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

had been slacking on this one, didnt realize it was on until the first episode had already aired, so i downloaded it, but was out of cdrs (to burn a vcd because my girlfriend wont watch stuff on the 'puter)

finally watched the first ep yesterday, followed by episodes 2, 3, and 4, all on vhs. addicted to say the least.

going to watch ep 5 tonight, and then episode 6 when its on at 10. then ill be all caught up.

Re: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

Really? I thought this show was going to be lame so I haven't even checked it out. I guess I will have to find someone who has Tivo'd it so I can check it out... I still think it has weak sauce written all over it because of Matt Perry but I will def give it a shot.

Cheers

Re: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

actually matt perry is showing he was the only ''friend'' with real acting talent as opposed to sitcom zingers.... this show is really well done, with unbelievable character development.

Re: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

its basically the west wing but instead of the presidential theme, its an SNL type show. cant be bad.

Following this series after reading you guys talk about it. Good stuff. Can't quite put my finger on it, but very enjoyable.

Re: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

last nights was a two parter, and it was great! god sorkin has brought so many former west wing people on to the show...now even john goodman (who was in some episodes of season 4 & 5 on WW).

Re: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

damn good one tonight. wonder what show gonna get aired. highlights look like goodman is gonna screw it up.
