Scott_EVill: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip--Pilot: Newly minted Network President Jordan McDeere (who is based on Jamie Tarses, the youngest woman ever to run a network) decides the real problem is that Mendel is right. ..
Amanda Peet does not seem at all comfortable here. ..
Put it this way: when Jordan says she's pleasantly surprised to learn that the news networks have even heard of Paddy Chayefsky, I'm not convinced that she knows who he is, either.
good way to put it - I felt sth like that when she said that, sth not credible.

warrenelliscom: Amanda Peet, as new network head Jordan McDeere, is just from fucking Mars. All of her acting choices are just downright weird; she seems like she’s coming in from a completely different angle than anyone else, stiff and mannered and wide-eyed and strangely slowed-down and nowhere near the actress she actually is. I have no idea what’s going on there, and the writers, producers and directors I know who’ve seen STUDIO 60 all agree she’s a really jarring, odd presence in the show.
