Running Studio 60 thread (spoilers)

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)

Very talky, just like West Wing. Not saying that's a bad thing, but, damn, I feel like I've run a mile after watching.

 

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)

I didn't like next week's trailer... but have loved the first two.

 

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)

I loved the song that opened their new show, especially the repeated line about doing too much blow. This show has major promise.

 

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)

Excellent, excellent stuff. D.L. Hughley is pretty funny, too.

 

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)

First off, I now officially have a crush on Sarah Paulson. I'm talking a "Fenian/IJAG-at-the-Gyllenhaal-family-reunion" crush.

It was a very good episode, but I wonder how hard it will be for Sorkin to not only think of good S60 plot lines, but also good comedy sketches. After the first ep, I kind of figured it would just be the behind the scenes stuff, leaving the actual show to our imagination.

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)

anyone catch the line in the press conference about people who write tv shows aren't smarter than people who watch them.... sports nite reference or is that just an SportsJournalists.com thing?

 

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)

Oh, I've had that crush for a while now. Even if she does play for the other team.

This is the first show I've watched in quite a while which I wished was two hours long. That's good and bad. I mean, there's little doubt it could keep my interest and keep moving for two hours. But the bad part is, as a one-hour show, it almost seems like Sorkin's trying to cram too much into it. There's almost TOO much going on, TOO many faces to sort out.

 

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)

he's doing the work of two shows and, if he pulls it off, will show up the rest of television... so far, so good in my book

 

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)



This is what I look like when Sarah Paulson shows up on screen. I don't care if she prefers cleaning carpets to polishing doorknobs. She is my new official celebrity crush.

 

Re: Studio 60 premiere (spoilers)

I forgot until I read this thread...didn't Matthew Perry date Jamie Tarses? Another fantastic inside joke embedded in the script.

I loved--LOVED!!!--the last scene tonight, where Perry is smiling at how well the opening skit went, turns around and sees the clock reset to remind him how much time he has until the next week. LOVED that scene.

Excellent show thus far.

Great second episode. Matt Perry can deliver a one-liner as well as anyone in the biz...
