I wanted to post about this here...it's silly, I know. But I'm really excited about this new show called Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Wanna know why??
- Brad Whitford is in it. I've been hot for him since I first watched the West Wing all those years ago.
- Matthew Perry is in it. I've never been hot for him, but I love him as an actor and am really looking forward to watch him be someone other than Chandler Bing.
- Tommy Schlamme and Aaron Sorkin direct and write the show, respectively. I can't think of a better team. Other than maybe JJ Abrams and the guy who wrote Alias. Or did he do both?
- It makes fun of TV, and calls out all the asshole-ishness of the industry. I like that. A lot.
- I've seen one episode, but I already know something about all the main characters. There's nothing I hate more than having to WAIT for character development (a la LOST). I even like Amanda Peet. Although she needs to eat a few steaks or something.
If you like TV, are a little liberal maybe, and like fast dialog (West Wing or Sports Night), give this show a try. I haven't been this excited about TV in a long long while. :D
