Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

Hey now, you're a veteran of starting these threads! No date in the title??

I loved this episode
We just need more of "Jeanie with the light brown hair" to appear more often along with the Asian cutie, instead of Sarah Paulson and this show will be perfect.

So how long before NBC drops "from the sunset strip" from the title? It's too long and cumbersome and everyone already calls it Studio 60. I just have a feeling they will.

I want them to call it "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, California"

Are they going to show the formerly-removed Christian opening in this episode (since Peet's character told them to open with it)? I actually want to see it.

I'm not sure anything they could show would live up to the internal "hype".

Crazy Christians is mentioned but never shown...because they couldn't live up to the 'hype' for sure. A great episode and actually builds on the promise of the pilot. What we do see of the 'show' is very good and I really like Amanda Peet on this show. Her character is funny, charming and ballsy.



Great ep.

As soon as 30Rock gets canned......?

That would be my guess as well. There is no way they could have 30 Rock and Studio 60 on the schedule at the same time. The longer Studio 60 title distinguishes them at least a little better.

Wow. New spoiler tags. Sweet.

The brunette chick (who supposedly was banging the Matthew Perry character) is hot.

The musical number was great.

As for the show, I'm feeling it a little more than the pilot.

this show just reaffirms that i will watch anything with aaron sorkin's name on it. that and i guess we have the new casey/dana.

Ayda Field.

Hard to believe she was introducing "Redneck Backyards" on Blue Collar TV just a couple of years ago.

I was sitting at work today, and I realized that I was anxiously anticipating tonight's episode. It's been a while, and it feels good.

They'd have to change it from "on the Sunset Strip" first.


Decided to give this show a try tonight. Its was pretty good.

Great episode.

While they didn't show the Crazy Christians like I had hoped, the intro was just as good.

About next week:

I think "on the Sunset Strip" is already being faded out. The 'on now' thing NBC does just said Studio 60

good 2nd show though. Was a bit dissapointed they skipped from just figuring out the opening to having the complete show written. But i'm sure that kind of stuff will be covered more in later episodes.

Some of part of me thinks this show would work better as a half hour show.

The opening act (at the end of the episode) was good, but I'm not sure if it was worth sitting for 55 minutes for it.

The character moments are okay, but nothing is quite growing on me yet.

There is no way they could fit everything in to a 30 minute show. This is a drama/comedy with a ton of characters, any shorter than it is right now and they would not be able to develop a single storyline.

Ever heard of Sports Night?

Damn you, Sorkin! I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all night

"I'm on hold with Clay Aiken's people"

I liked it.

The press conference, Jordan's rant about the affliates, and the p[eming musical were all great.
