At NBC, “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” recently shifted from social issues and corporate clashes to romance, stepping up Matt and Harriet’s (Matthew Perry, Sarah Paulson) breakup angst and Danny’s (Bradley Whitford) passionate pursuit of Jordan (Amanda Peet).
With this in mind, the plight of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is one to watch. At this moment, it's young life may be hanging in the balance. Unfair, to be sure; Studio 60 is easily the best new show on television and has the potential to become the best overall drama on the air. NBC, however, isn't...

The ratings for the premiere of ‘Studio 60’ weren’t great and the numbers only seemed to drop after that. The drama was a behind the scenes view of the production of a ‘Saturday Night Live’-ish sketch comedy show. With ‘The West Wing’ creator Aaron Sorkin behind it, not to mention big names li...

Can Danny and Matt ditch their demons and save this sinking ship? Will they have the support of network slime-ball Jack Rudolph (Steven Weber)? Not to mention “Studio 60” sweetheart Harriet Hayes (Sarah Paulson), the devout Christian who happens to be Matt's ex-girlfriend?
I also think Studio's reached it's peak. I wrote an article on my own blog about how my main fault with the show is that they've let us know so little about the characters, instead focusing more on the actual show. I don't watch a Sorkin show to be told how an episode of Studio 60 goes down, I watch i...

We're finally getting to see what Aaron Sorkin did next - his West Wing follow-up Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is coming to More4 next Thursday. When it was first announced, it seemed like a great proposition: West Wing alumni Bradley Whitford, Timothy Busfield and Matthew Perry teaming u...

Based on a once-challenging-now-lame sketch show that markedly resembles NBC's own once-challenging-now-lame Saturday Night Live, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is a bold(ish) move for NBC. The fourth-place network seems to be issuing its own creative mea culpa by airing two series th...
Video: "30 Rock" Video: "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" When NBC's fall schedule was announced last month, two of its half-dozen new series stood out: the Tina Fey-starring comedy, "30 Rock," and the Aaron Sorkin drama, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."

Still, given that Sorkin’s White House seemed so authentic in its details, you’d expect him to nail every nuance of the late-night comedy world, from the egos to the slang. Instead, in its first hour, Studio 60 is surprisingly, even alarmingly tin-eared. After Mendell’s meltdown, the neo...

I’d like to think that a television show that starts with such an impassioned call-to-arms, in this case by a TV writer/producer named Wes Mendell (Judd Hirsch), would deliver exactly that. Instead, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip plays a lot like a lip-glossed The West Wing. Not a bad thing ne...

Il y a un an, nous parlions sur pErDUSA avec ferveur et optimisme du nouveau projet d’Aaron Sorkin, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Malheureusement, bien que non dépourvue d’intérêt, la série était bien loin de la qualité des précédentes productions de l’auteur. Sorkin et Jéjé Sorkin et Ju
Unlike their last drama, The West Wing, I didn't fall in love immediately, but I was left with a pleasant enough aftertaste to give it time. It was nice to see Matthew Perry eschew his Chandlerisms and to see some of the Sorkin regulars like Timothy Busfield, Bradley Whitford and Felicity Hu...

One of the knocks against Studio 60 has been that it's harder to care about the drama here than on The West Wing because the stakes seem so low. Ha, says Aaron Sorkin, who's created a cliff-hanger in which the freedom from incarceration of a couple of cast members is at stake, as well as the Frid...
The premise was solid. Matt Albie and Danny Tripp (Mathew Perry and Bradley Whitford) are a writer and director of great merit who got their start on what amounts to SNL in disguise (but then the show later pretends it’s not SNL, sad), but played as Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. They left the sh...
After all, if someone came to you and said - here's a show, it's about the backstage happenings of a Saturday Night Live-esque sketch show, a topic that has been part of American popular culture for 25 years now, and it's written by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing), with a cast packed like a fanta...

When NBC finally gave up on “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” its most heavily promoted new show of last season, I heard from two groups of people. One group blamed the network for bailing on Aaron Sorkin's smart and witty behind-the-scenes drama. The other group blamed Sorkin for botching a p...
Sorkin is best known for his work on the TV shows "The West Wing" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," on the films "A Few Good Men," "The American President" and "Charlie Wilson's War" and on the plays "A Few Good Men" and "The Farnsworth Invention."
Meanwhile, NBC's other "behind the scenes at a sketch comedy show" series, 30 Rock, continues to flounder a bit. (It continues to teeter on the brink of cancellation until NBC makes up its mind.) This is a little disappointing because I have a huge entertainment-crush on Tina Fey, but at lea...
My case studies are the best show ever committed to television – The West Wing – and its poor imitation, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which is facing imminent cancellation in the United States. 31 Oct 2006 23:47 | Tags: Aaron Sorkin Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip Television The West Wi...
Noel: I'm worried about the show-within-a-show aspect of Studio 60 too, although I understand that Sorkin actually has SNL/Kids In The Hall refugee Mark McKinney helping with the sketches. Still, so far, Studio 60 has been at its best when it sticks with Sorkin's biggest strength: celeb...
Dear Aaron, I love watching good Sorkin shows and Studio 60 just didn't do it for me. What's this Studio 60 thing that you guys are talking about? Is it some sort of television show? Studio 60 has faltered lately, but the past couple episodes have been decent.

It is written by the same team who brought us "West Wing" and "Sports Night", but it's more like the latter in tone. "Sports Night" was another behind-the-scenes show about ESPN. The writing was uneven, but clearly the writers learned more about writing a TV show when they did "West Wing". ...
…] STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP (10PM, Debuts Sept. 25) He’s taken us behind the scenes of SportsCentre and the White House. Now with STUDIO 60, viewers will get a chance to see creator Aaron Sorkin’s much buzzed about take on the behind-the-scenes antics of a late-night TV show (not to be confused with Saturday Night Live). Says Sorkin [to EW], “It follows the SNL model, but SNL exists in the world of the show. The characters, like us, have a great deal of respect for SNL.” Not willing to risk failure, Sorkin has brought along an old ‘friend’ to star in the vehicle, hiring Matthew Perry (FRIENDS) as head writer of the fictional Studio 60. Joining Perry is an all-star ensemble including Bradley Whitford, Amanda Peet, D.L. Hughley, Steven Weber, Nate...
