If anyone's interested, the pilot is online...

The first three minutes are on You Tube with Judd Hirsch going all "Network" on us. So far the reviews have all been great, except for Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly, who would only like it if it was full of...uh...um...homos.

I'm looking forward to it. Especially with ESPN killing Monday Night Football with assclowns like Berman, Irvin, Theismann and Kolber.
I watched the pilot yesterday, then set up the Season Pass on my TiVo. Looks like another solid Sorkin effort.
I watched it last week. Sorkin is a genius.
My girlfriend and I also just finished watching Sports Night, which was also absurdly good. The most astonishing thing about Sports Night - Sorkin wrote or co-wrote 16 episodes of Season Two while writing or co-writing 21 freakin' episodes of the West Wing at the same time!
We actually thought that the first episode was a great set-up, but you don't really see the kind of dialog or story that Sorkin is known for. Which makes it similar to Sports Night, which took a few episodes to really get rolling. That isn't to say it wasn't good, because it was, and we will definitely be watching the next episode.
Anyway, to sum it up: Sorkin = crack-fueled genius.

Sports Night is one of my all time favorite shows.
Sports Night debuted when I was a senior in High School, and it was a tremendous influence on me picking my major the next year.
Sports Night taught me how to banter. I never knew that I was supposed to repeat 3/4 of the other person's sentence in question form only to have them repeat their original sentence BACK to me. Then, I would follow that up with a who, what, where, why, or how followed by 3/4 of their sentence again. I've had banter sessions go on for hours. And now no one will talk, errr, I mean, banter with me anymore. That said. I like Sports Night, too. I never did see how it ended, though.

I don't have any comments on SN, but Studio 60 ... was very good last night. Ditto the comments above about Sorkin.
Money-earnin' Mount Vernon!
I watched it, thought it was pretty good. I'll be watching it more.
Anyone think they pumped enough money into this thing? I mean imagine how much! No, no wait. Don't do that. Just trust me, it's a lot.
I was psyched because I always enjoy a good look at Amanda Peet, and I'm a big fan of Sarah Paulson. Then I found out that Paulson's a dyke.
So that was distressing.
But her girlfriend is hot.
So I just rallied! Whoo hoo!
I thought the first one was solid. I like how Matthew Perry is playing a guy addicted to pain killers. How many eps before we get the obligatory Josh Malina sighting? I was honestly shocked that he didn't appear in the pilot.
Malina should play the exact character he played on 'sports night' except however many years down the road it's been. Matthew Perry could interview him for the job by asking him for the 5 things he'd do to make "the simpsons" relevant again.
And bring back Sabrina Lloyd, too.
So this Pat Paulsen feller was a dyke? I ain't exactly sure what a dyke is, because I ain't familiar with the spelling, but I think it is a naughtycal term having to do with the Levy's, a nice Jewish family that lived in New Orleans, until they went broke and had to move Houston which is a neighborhood in the south part of New York City. What was the question?
Excellent work on 60. I really enjoyed the friendship between Perry and Whitford. Seemed genuine without being gay. It's now on my schedule. I missed getting in on West Wing when it first came out and never bothered to drop in on it in the middle. I'm not making that mistake again.

The look is really, really good.
Then she starts to talk and move (I hear she calls it "acting") and the illusion is destroyed.
If I only had a Mr. Skin membership, I could download The Whole 30 Seconds of her career worth watching.
Seeing her in Igby Goes Down completely ruined her for me. She is frighteningly hideous in that movie.
This show is just great. The last five minutes of tonight's show were awesome, although it had the unfortunately-usual quiet moment at the end of the show that Sorkin seems to have fallen in love with. The press conference at the start was also pretty good.
I'm no expert on Sorkin's writing having not watched his other shows, but is it just me or there a lot of "tough guy" lines in this show?
Oh did I set the bar too high? Clear it
Get me a damn audience.
Etc.
Besides that very overlookable offense, I really like this show.
LOOK man...these people ARE tough. They're working in TEEEEEEE---frickin'---VEEEEEEEE. And if you can't HANDLE that, if that's too SEVERE for you, then maybe you need to take your little delicate sensiblities to the CW cuz NBC's gunnin right for your DICK. and stuff.
And, Aaron Sorkin? Aaron SORKIN? Aaron FUCKING Sorkin? Yeah, you heard me. I said it not once, not twice, but THREE times. It's that damn nice. And that's twice more than you can ever HOPE to say it after tonight. Check THIS---don't ever mention his name again. You've LOST that priviledge, Slaky. Now why don't you go jerk off to some "sex in the city" skank with old lady hands and face lift scars cuz that's ALL your about right now at this very moment.
Anybody watch "heroes," by the way?
That seems to be in a lot of Sorkins stuff. Bravado and false bravado. He plays it well.
I have Heroes on the DVR to watch tonight. I've been waiting for this since they announced it.
Friend of mine made a good point. That blonde lady (that the lesbo?) who is a star of the show within the show, it supposed to be talented and hilarious yet she is neither. Good times right there.

Did you decline by EMail?
Watched the show tonight... I have no complaints. My girlfriend is getting hooked. The moment at the end where the clock rolled over was both funny and distressing for Perry's character. I look forward to the next episode.
Sarah Paulson's lisp is getting on my nerves.

Ted McGinley, the original showkiller.

C'mon- Jefferson was only in selected episodes of the first season- and it got renewed for a second. He didn't appear in anything in the second/final season- they didn't even mention Deputy Gordon's name once.

I was too engrossed in Sophia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" on PBS to watch "Studio 60" this week. But I am a Gilbert and Sullivan fan and my wife, who was watching "Studio 60" in another room alerted me in time to watch that scene. That scene was well done and probably very expensive to produce. I recommend catching a rerun of Marie Antoinette if you can. It gets very scurillous and shows edited versions of the "Tijuana Bibles" that French citizens nearing revolution published about their queen.

The best "Pirates" bit I ever saw was Paual Reiser's dad on "Mad About You" as the Major General...
"He really was a good son, we had nothing to complain about.
Except we came home early once and caught him with his schmecky out"
Yes, I watched "Mad About You".
Does anyone else find it strange that Studio 60 is on the same network as SNL, when it has thus far consistently slammed SNL pretty hard?
It's not even the only SNL-ripoff on the network.
The other one, 30 Rock, premieres next Tuesday and could be funny, but it's got Tracey Morgan involved and the overrated Tina Fey is writing it. Though it does have Alec Baldwin. One of my three favorite SNL hosts of all time. Not that it has anything to do with how good a sitcom will be.
Alec Baldwin is my twin brother. So they tell me.

Back to the show...am I the only one who thinks casting Sarah Paulson, a lesbian who is out and in a fairly high-profile (At least in the Broadway world) relationship, as the blonde Christian is a conscious dig by Aaron Sorkin at his ex, Kristin Chenoweth?

Ya think? From IMDb's biography of Cheno:
I'm a very controversial figure in the Christian world. I don't believe if you're gay or you have a drink or you dance you're going to hell. I don't think that's the kind of God we have. The Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of the world are scary. I want to be a Christian like Christ - loving and accepting of other people.
Seems the back story was written long before the show.
I don't know, the last two episodes have been pretty disappointing. The reporter-on-the-set isn't doing anything for me either.

Yeah, I am not that interested in the "behind the scene" revelations of putting on a live tv show. At least a courtroom drama has the underlying crime story going along with the soap opera story about the lives of the lawyers. Similarly, the hospital drama has the plot line of the illness or epidemic confronting the patients in addition to the sordid love stories involving the hospital staff. I just don't think there is that much about producing a televison show that is going to keep this thing going.
About hospital love stories. Am I the only one who finds horny doctors (whether male or female) creepy? When I get my prostate checked I don't want to think that the person who is doing it is getting off as a result.

As long as you don't feel a hand on each shoulder, don't sweat it.
I think Studio 60 has real potential but, for some reason, it's not working. The behind the scenes stuff could be good but, you're right, it isn't that compelling. It almost takes too much precedence over the very real human conflict on and off stage. The idea of a pressure-packed week compressed into a little less than an hour (and I love the clock on Perry's wall) is a great (and classic) device.
Part of it is the show within the show though doesn't seem that funny. The supposedly stolen lines, for example, weren't that funny. Why steal bad lines? And how can you not fire the two writers who protect the plagarist? You want them gone and they've offered to go. And the Gilbert and Sullivan opera earlier in the season? Awful.
The whole lead writer/lead actress romance-on-the-rocks should be great but they lack a little chemistry. Whitford, who is great, can't carry the show on his own as written. DL Hughley hasn't hit any stride and seems mis-cast. The bad network guy has stepped too far into the background too. He's a great character as one of those people you love to hate.
And, as someone who's married to a doctor, I'm all for horny doctors. At least one.
I actually said to my girlfriend, "that sounds like an old riff from a horrible standup comic" when the "what's the deal with ADD?" bit was presented, and sho'nuff, it was. Not good. Someone needs to get to Sorkin and tell him to kill off any scenes from sketches or news satires, because all the "jokes" have sucked horribly.
Still, I'm liking the show. It's worth it just to not be talked down to for an hour via my telly. Pretty soon I'll be watching it just for one good line (like the one about the mind that practices a Juliette Lewis impression vs. the mind that puts that impersonation in Tim Russert's chair), and I'm OK with that.

That's my issue. That blonde who is supposed to be hilarious in the context of the show's world, is dreadfully unfunny and almost a chore to listen to. Does she have a speech impediment, or am I the only one seeing that? All her jokes are brutal. And that opera HST, wow, I mean...that sucked a huge, hairy paratestes. And you know that unfunny scene probably cost a shitload of money to get on the air even though it was a fake sketch on a fake show on a real show. Whew...

I thought that was her hilarious Holly Hunter imitation.
Unfunny? "The bear said, ROOOOOOOAAAAAR!"? Gold, Jerry!
When I was a young law clerk for the California Supreme Court I read a transcript in a rape case against a doctor where the young, and apparently naive, female victim testified that the doctor told her to get undressed, and to turn around, lean over and place her hands on the examination table. "Then he stood behind me and put one hand on my right breast, one hand on my left breast, and the other hand in my private parts."

That is the EXACT one I think of when I think of not funny. And then they said, "Go with it". No wonder why this fictional show has fictionally shitty ratings.
Contrarian view: I thought the Cold Open singing and dancing scene at the end of the second episode was very good. The next couple of episodes have been a bit less stellar to the first two, but the show is still very good. Hope that it gets good enough ratings to stay around for a while.

I told Mrs. Forkserker that sounded like some shit Tina Fey would use.
I've tried to get into Studio 60, but it just strikes me as a bastardized Sportsnight. I'm sure it's easier to write up a sports highlight montage than a comedy show, but the show within a show is just killing it for me. On another note, I watched the pilot for 30 Rock (linked below) and found it to be pretty funny. Alec Baldwin is the balls/steak sauce. His character is absolutely perfect for him. Tracy Morgan was surprisingly very good. The show within a show was minimized, and I hope that continues. The skits on both shows are both subpar, but on Studio 60 they seem to be trying to be funny and failing like Kenny Bania, while on 30 Rock the skits are more of a parody of how horribly SNL has become. http://www.nbc.com/Video/rewind/full_episodes/?show=30rock

I have to agree, the first episode was pretty damn funny. And that Alec, what a good lookin' fella.
Never watched Sports Night, so it is all new to me.
See the attached link regarding the un-originality of the Cold Open final scene that I mentioned above. http://www.defamer.com/hollywood/studio-60/deep-inside-studio-60-aaron-sorkins-musical-comedy-influences-revealed-207136.php
Well, I don't have the exact info but I have read a couple stories on the Internet that have said Studio 60's ratings are starting to fade badly from what the ratings were in the opener. Disappointing for me, anyway, because I like the show's premise and I actually like to be challenged by my TV shows... Give me Studio 60 over Survivor and Deal or No Deal and the SI Swimsuit Show (OK, well, not that last one)...
This all being said, I don't think NBC pulls the plug this year. Sorkin and the show are well-liked by most of the critics, NBC outpaid everyone else for the rights to broadcast the show, and Whitford and Perry are two guys that helped carry two past NBC ratings winners (TWW and Friends) for years...
Speculation in the newspapers today that this show is on the endangered species list, its ratings having plummeted since week one. I would not be sorry to see it go. In fact I think that I will finish reading that Daniel Silva thriller that I started. So far terrorists have blown up St Peter's Dome in the Vatican.
I think, if nothing else, you'll start seeing more cameos on "Studio 60". Musical guests, things like that. But, yeah, NBC will hang in there with it, only because they're so heavily invested.
I think "30 Rock" will also run out of steam quickly.
Nuh-uh. Superman does good. You're doing well.
Still found 30 Rock funny.
I did, too.

If you say so, Slak. I only saw the first episode, and while Baldwin was good, I think the major stumbling point is Tina Fey as the main character, because she can't act at all.

Baldwin is great. Some of the flashbacks remind me a little of Arrested Development. At least their writers are influenced by great shows. I'll be interested to see the ratings on this one. Studio 60 is getting beat up by What About Brian...
I didn't like 30 Rock other than the Alec Baldwin lines. Tina Fey sucks and Tracy Morgan is just plain annoying.
I have to defend one skit from the "show within the show" from Studio 60. "The Nicolas Cage Show" cracks me up every time they show it. It's such a stupid concept, but I think the guy who spoofs Cage does it pretty well, and I can't help but laugh. Every other skit has sucked.
I agree that 30 Rock was funny last night. Tina Fey is awful, but I kind of like what they are doing with her. She's in every scene, but is rarely the focus. This could be because she has no presence, but she also plays the straight man to keep the show somewhat grounded.
That said, Tracy Morgan has been the funniest non-Schrute character I've seen this season. The line that got me yesterday was, "I'm Bill Cosby, jello sweaters." And a close second was "We're a team now, like Batman and Robin, like chicken and a chicken container."

I'm with you, Morgan is cracking my shit up. I never liked him much, but playing the mentally ill movie star is working well for him. When he was cutting that promo and kept emphasizing Cock and called the girl Baloney I was having definitely a few laughs.
I also like that Sanjay from Weeds plays Alec Baldwin's assistant that only speaks in Post-it notes.
Baldwin is very funny in 30 Rock. Morgan's less annoying than I thought, but I don't like Tina Fey. She's just not funny. She was the head writer on the worst SNL seasons of all time, she didn't realize that Mean Girls only found an audience because Lindsey Lohan hadn't lost her boobs yet and Rachel McAdams had just found hers and on top of that, Fey can't act.
As for Studio 60, they need to lose the scenes where they show the skits from the show. They are terrible, and they don't do much to help the notion that Matt is some brilliantly funny writer, when the skits he's writing are pure horseshit.
30 Rock will hang around for a while, but Studio 60 costs a fortune to make and it's dying.
Of course 60 is dying....I like it.
Count me in with The Slak. My girlfriend and I have Tivo'ed Studio 60 and have tried to watch it a couple of times. I can barely make it half way through. I should have known it would suck. It has the skinny drug addict from friends. Not that it would be any better with either of the other annoying clowns from Friends. I've only seen 30 Rock once. I thought it was pretty good. Alec Baldwin is a pretty good comic actor.
Tracy Morgan has been at his best (other than Spoony Luv) in 30 Rock, and Baldwin has been good too. The chicks, not so much.
Sorkin needs to get a real-life comedy writer to write the comedy bits. They suck. Maybe Nate Corddry can get his bro in there to help out?

He's got Mark McKinney from Kids in the Hall and SNL on staff already, although how much input he actually has is another matter. It's not just the comedy that's the problem though, the whole thing just strikes me as too dramatic. I mean, Sorkin seems to be unable to draw the line between The West Wing and Studio 60. A head writer with a cocaine problem? A network exec with an old DUI? These are things that might be problematic for a politician, but in the entertainment industry? I doubt it.
I gave Studio 60 a shot last night. It didn't take.
I'm liking Studio 60 so far, but the fast-talking, if it's one of Sorkin's trademarks, is silly and unbelievable. No one has conversations at that rate. Suspension of disbelief my ass.
Also, I wish a sketch comedy show would have hired me after one of the many times I bombed at stand-up. Assholes.
I suspended disbelief for a while, but it was too hard last night during the bit about the Corddry's character's parents. These guys are in their mid-50s, tops, and they still have a turntable that goes to 78? They stopped making 78s in the early 50's, righto? And I don't care how removed they are from Hollywood, everyone and their great-grandfather has heard of "Who's On First?" I mean, half of the dialogue from "Rain Man" is cribbed from that bit. Needless to say, Sorkin's a bit removed ... from a lot of things. Besides that and the sketches, I still like the show.
(btw, one of the funniest sketches in TV history has to be the Kids in the Hall take on "Who's On First."
Dave Foley: "no, I'm a vaudevillian.")
EDIT: here it is:

KD, I think I completely annoyed Mrs. Kerm because I kept complaining that his parents had never heard of "Who's on First?"
You guys missed the point. His parents were from OHIO! And they work for a living. Therefore, they don't have TV and the radio shows just ain't as good as they used to be. Sometimes they like to sit outside and watch the bug zapper, but it's gettin' colder and momma's hip can't take the chill like the old days.
Fuck Sorkin.
The shows has so many problems I don't even know where to start, but I think CPT makes a good point of Sorkin not being able to draw a line between the West Wing and Studio 60. Â The rubes from the blue state who don't know the "Who's On First Sketch", the old writer who was blacklisted (and a war hero to boot), the religious right going after the show, dirty politics, trying to get an audience to watch a show about the U.N.; these are storylines that could have easily been worked into the West Wing.
With that said, I still watch it. Â It's not well-written but it is nice looking.

I think they made the 78 turntable later than that KD. Â My cousin's 35 years old, and I inherited one from him as a kid. Â Of course, I had no idea what that 78 speed was for. Â I mainly used it as the "kill" setting on Darth Vader's centrifuge of death.

If they made 78s after about 1953 they forgot to put them on the market. From that point on, singles were on 45 rpm and albums were on 33 rpm. Although they continued to manufacture turntables that had all three speeds on them, you couldn't play a 78 because the stylus (needle) was generally too fine for the groove in a 78 rpm record.
I had a friend who, I am not joking, lived in Dan Patrick's childhood home down in Mason, Ohio. Patrick was known as Danny Pugh back then, if memory serves. Anyway, we spent one afternoon rummaging through the attic above the garage -- and not only found some childhood crayon drawings from little Danny Pugh, but a Dinah Washington 78. I really should have brought one of those home.
EDIT: I just wikipedia'd Patrick to confirm the "Pugh" part of things, and it turns out Danny Pugh and I share a birthday.

I'm just reporting the facts mang. Studio is in deep caca as my old neighbor used to say.
I would have to go back to my West Wing DVDs to check, but there was an episode of TWW where Donna (Played by the underrated Janel Moloney) had relatives come visit her in the White House, and they also were essentially written and executed as know-nothings. I even think the same woman from Monday's show might have played the female relative of Donna's on that particular West Wing episode.

I don't think any acting was needed for that scene. That was probably just the outtakes and the director said, "Gold, Jerry. GOLD!"

I thought last Monday's Studio 60 was the first truly good one they've made. Then again, Sorkin always nailed the Christmas ones on the West Wing, too. Probably the most encouraging thing about the ep was that showed one of the "show's" skits and it was actually funny.
They had the fat guy (Moose from the rental car commercials) dressed up as Santa. He falls down the chimney and into a living room and you hear this ominous "news" music and a guy playing Dateline's Chris Hanson comes into the room. Asking Santa what a grown man is doing sneaking into a house to give a "present" to a 10 year old girl after midnight. Santa says the girl "sent me a letter" and then they go back to the real show. Pretty good.
But the whole show was pretty good. I could do without the whole Matthew Perry-Sarah Paulson thing because I don't care, but Amanda Peet is hot, preggers or no, and I don't blame Josh Lyman for trying to nail her.
What the hell are you talking about? I think you took a wrong turn somewhere.

Anybody see Knights of Prosperity? I watched in online today. I'll give it another chance. Sofia Vergara is unbelievably hot, so it's got that going for it.
You look upset. Did the Liberty lose again?
30 Rock has it's moments...all of them involving Alec Baldwin. I watch both shows every week. Studio 60 seems to have turned a corner and is less preachy and more entertaining than it was. 30 Rock dies every time Tina Fey has to carry a scene. I'm going to miss Tommy Gavin's brother, too.

The thing I like about 30 Rock, after having watched Fey's up/down years at SNL, is that you can pretty much pick a joke 15 minutes before it happens. Once you found out that Reubens was a prince, after having seen his state in the previews, you knew an incest joke was on its way. After the page and Tracy had their first showdown in the office ("lick her face!," classic) you knew they were going to take that to it's logical extension: the devil/angel back and forth.

Studio 60 is far more predictable. You knew a) the door to the roof would be locked, b) The chinese chick would be all over Nate Corddry, and c) The English chick would show up and catch him lying, and holy shit, I feel like I'm talking about "All My Children", so I'll stop now.

So, who's the first to take his or her own death? I think it's going to be Tom Jeter, just to get out of the whole love triangle situation.
But screw it. Even if it was predictable, I enjoyed the crap out of it. The problem my girlfriend has with it - and to me, this isn't a big deal - is that Sorkin "rips himself off." A lot of the themes and sometimes some direct quotes in Studio 60 first occurred in West Wing and/or Sports Night. But big deal, it's still fun to watch.

Yeah, and you have to suspend disbelief, and that sucks sometimes. Why would Matthew Perry's character tell the Corddry kid to lie? Oh, yeah, so something that happens an episode and a half later makes sense. I didn't think the door would lock, I just thought the snake would bite that smug guy and Amanda Peet would go into Florence Nightengale mode on him.

Was this the first 30 Rock without a Rachel Dratch cameo? Even though she's not pretty, she would have made that blonde character SO much funnier. The redneck girl from Vacation is playing that character like a watered-down version of Lindsey Funke.

The writing has gotten stronger, and Tina Fey has (wisely) let Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin bring the funny, and she's taken a step back with her character. This show has improved a lot since the first 2 or 3 episodes.

I think the less screen time for Tina Fey is a side effect from figuring out which cast members work well with each other.

The Cleveland bit was well done. Started out like a typical NY rip job, but then actually highlighted some cool things hat had us positiving Cleveland earlier in the week here. The whole bit was really funny. The whole episode was quite.
Also the new "British" that Jack's with girl was in "Match Point" and some Irish film that the missus and I watched that was quite good.

I think it's funny because he's talking to the little girl likes she's an adult. Plus, he can't remember how old she is. He really needs to come up with a nickname for himself so he can rant in the third person.

The scene with him saying it as he's falling off the bed was excellent.
Tell him his mother loves him...
but not in a queer way.
"Vertigo."
I saw that one coming and I still laughed.
A late bump because I'm two weeks behind on knowing what's going on in the world of celebrity gossip. Just wanted to say that I love the statement issued by Baldwin's people:
Quote"In the best interest of the child, Alec will do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing ... keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order. The mother and her lawyer leaked this sealed material in violation of a court order. Although Alec acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child, everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years."
Glad to see that he's sticking around on 30 Rock.

Apparently she'll be back next week (Jane Krakowski that is, not Dratch) for the return of the Beeper King.
Never thought much of Jane (though I like her on the show), and have adored Dratch's work for years ... but Dratch wasn't working on this show. It was a shoe-horn.
It was also a good idea. The, "cool, look what she's playing now"-bit could have worked, but not in a 22-minute format. And with so much formidable talent (this might be the best show on TV, and yet, how many amazing episodes have ended with us thinking, "I could have used more Baldwin/Morgan"?), it's hard to shove another one in there.
That's what she said. Twice.
"Boy, that is one mouthy sandwich girl."
Tim Conway was funny and Dennis Duffy always makes me laugh.
Dummies.
JD, they came perilously close to stealing your Boz-Bo Mount Rushmore warm manly embrace line, when Conway said there's nothing ghey about two men privately celebrating each other's strength.

It is the subtle things in this show that appeal to me. When a dubious Kenneth is put in charge of "Green Week" he equates it to Global Warming, which he surrounds with air quotes made by three fingers on each hand.

QuoteAt the height of that show's success, Thomas took to wearing a gold medallion emblazoned with the letters "EGOT," which stood for "Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony." As Thomas told an interviewer in 1984, "Hopefully in the next five years I will win all of those awards."
As of February 2008, Thomas has won none of those awards. He's never even been nominated for any of them.
