    As Xavier McDaniel flashed through my mind the whole time.

    Talk about a 24-second shot clock.

    Yes he does. Some fans even clap at the right moments.

    OK, this is mostly schlock, but it's worth sitting through just to see Courteney Cox on drums. ... You're hired!

    Hmmmm ... After volunteering to collect all the information and submitting it as one to the hotel folks, the guy also wrote ...

    "If [giving me your CC info] totally makes you uncomfortable, email or PM me and I will give you the contact at the DoubleTree's contact information so you can send it in directly and reference me so they know what "group" you're affiliated with."

    And based on your posts afterwards, neither you nor anyone else seemed troubled by what was suggested.
    Guy takes some risks with a work account, puts himself out to try to facilitate an event, and years later dipshits are taking cheap shots at him -- cheap shots that aren't even factually based! -- when they know he can't respond. How charming ... and utterly in character.

    With all due respect to Matthew Perry, the reason most men watched Friends was to see Monica and Rachel in braless skintight tops. Courtney Cox on that show was one of the most stunning women I’ve ever seen. Guys could get away with watching it because it had the simp side with Joey and Chandler, but in all honestly we were checking in to see the jiggle factor.

    They are. The order is Sports Night, The West Wing, Studio 60, and The Newsroom. I thought Sorkin was trying to hard to take the formula from The West Wing and inject it into Studio 60. The magic just wasn't there.

    Shortly after I met my wife, we rented Singles. I had never seen it and she liked it, but things were going very well between us by then. I've still never seen it. :D

    Don't get me wrong. They were attractive, but there are plenty of things we could watch then and now with beautiful women that didn't have nearly that sort of audience.

    I really hate to give him any bandwidth here, but do you have any idea how many times tagged me in posts in the year or two I was banned from the other place? I don't know why anybody would bother to bring him up here any longer, but he loved taking shots at me when he knew I couldn't respond.

    The name itself is absurd. There were 60 studios in that building?

    Pretentious, self-righteous dialogue might be allowable if your characters are in charge of the government of the most important government on earth...but not so much when you are in charge of a tv show.

    Sorkin's best movies (Few Good Men, Social Network, Molly's Game) always had more replay value for me than his shows.

    Studio 60 was The Newsroom, but without the news.
