TV. studio 60 on the sunset strip

i finally caught up with the show. i watched the first two episodes when they were first on, and really loved them. but since then ive been saving them up for just the right time. it seems that this week was that time!
this show is written by aaron sorkin, who also wrote 'west wing', and 'sports night' (which if you know anything about me, you know that i am totally obsessed with that show!) and he writes in a very unique style. his characters are fast talking and the pacing on the conversations does not stop! the characters love to walk and talk, usually through the sets quickly. also, they always seem to wait until the most stressful moments of the day to talk about their personal stuff. the writing is very witty and always takes three to four seemingly unrelated subplots and ties them with a strong theme that he wraps together at the end of the episode is a way that you probably never saw coming. very unique, and completely amazing!
with this show he does it again. its no sports night, but the seeds of greatness are there. sometimes the stories dont come together quite as strongly as they did on previous shows, but the characters are interesting, and the relationships are growing more and more fun to see unfold. and really, who doesnt love matthew perry?
