IMDb user comments for "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" (2006) 9 comments as of today, will this number go way up?
-I actually found the acting and the actors using the material far better than what I have seen over the years in 'Sports Night' and 'West Wing'. This certainly is no knock against the great actors in the other two mentioned shows, just that running banter seems a little more believable in this environment rather than a Sports News studio or the White House.
-Studio 60 is the coming out back? party for Aaron Sorkin since he left NBC (during; The West Wing). He's brilliant again. This series is going to be as big if not bigger than Sports Night and The West Wing. OK, maybe not as big as TWW because you can't be better than 96 Emmy nods. But no joke S60 will blow people away and remind them why they loved and still love AS since he walked into the lives of millions back in the late 90s. I had the fortune to see a sneak peak (hey all you can if you are a netflixian) so netflix has the pilot available to rent ~ on dvd? of S60 and I have already seen it three times. I love the chemistry between Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford, it's like they have worked together for years. yes it is. Being a regular Sorkinite, I have followed all his hits. Many of the greats (staff and cast) are back from either TWW, American President or SN. It's good to have you home, Aaron!
-The show is pure Aaron Sorkin: it's witty, intelligent, and heart-felt about issues. But one thing Studio 60 isn't is a retread of either Sports Night or The West Wing. It's a completely different monster. This time, Sorkin's looking to dive deep into the worlds of Hollywood, Mass Media, and Big Business.
-Creator Aaron Sorkin treats the world of entertainment just as seriously as he did the world of politics in "The West Wing." He's brought in the same level of acting, the same level of writing, the same level of direction and cinematography and the same level of – for lack of a better word – gravitas… and brought it all to bear in a younger, grittier, hipper setting. ah - gravitas - for lack of better word - that's maybe what no other show I can think of has. Boston Legal has moments of sth like it in Alan Shore - James Spader is so good and his spoken words so intelligent - but definitely not over all.

questns as recap:
-What will Matt and Danny, built up as such incredible talents in the pilot, do to energize the lagging show? How will Matt get along with his ex-girlfriend when they have to work together practically 24/7? Will Danny relapse to cocaine under the pressures of directing a live broadcast every week? How will the network react when Matt and Danny, with Jordan's permission, air the controversial sketch that got Judd Hirsch fired? On the very first spot of their very first show? Plus, why did Matt and Danny get fired in the first place? And who really fired them – the network president Steven Weber - but wait, I tht Amanda Peet as Jordan is the new network president, in wh case what is Weber's role? who's the boss to the network president? (must be her boss since he says, you saw how fast I fired Wes? screw this up and I'll fire you faster) or their hero Wes the Judd Hirsch producer? Matt (Perry) says "you... pointed us twd the door" to wh Jack (Weber) says, but your hero held it open. ---what, maybe bcs that left him to take over?

NBC.com: Steven Weber stars as the intense Jack Rudolph, chairman of the fictitious National Broadcasting System, the network that airs the controversial “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” late-night sketch comedy series. and yes Jordan (Peet) is President of the network, newly hired.
I think said on show that she came from "NBC" -? I like how this is NBS.
