Opening. This is a show about a comedy show, right? I counted 16 lines that were meant to sound like jokes. I counted one joke.
Does this mean that this is a drama about writing a comedy show?
Seconds after first commercial break bloggers get dissed.
"Bernadette is writing in her pajamas surrounded by cats."
We get dissed with a five year old joke.
Steven Weber's afraid for his job? Who's his boss?
Aaron Sorkin remembers when Steve Martin returned to Saturday Night Live and promised to restore the show to former glory in a big song and dance number. Inspiring rock music rising on the soundtrack as Chandler sits down at his laptop and starts to create tells us that he will write something as funny and brilliant as Steve Martin did. Fade to commericial.
Ok. Hard to go wrong with a Gilbert and Sullivan parody.
Steve Martin's song and dance number was funnier and they moved through the studio.
Wrap-up: I'm sticking with Studio 60 for Steven Weber and Matt Perry, who so far, seems to be the only character on the show who understands that comedy is harder than dying.
