TV: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
After watching the Series Premiere of this show, I had no problem adding it to my coveted Season Pass list. Jill and I watched The West Wing for a while until we got tired of it – but always liked the fast paced dialogue. Aaron Sorkin has done the same with this show. What makes the concept and quick dialogue even better is the chemistry between the actors. Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford are good together. I understand that some Christians feel like the show is Christian-bashing. I am guessing that this initially comes from a slam that Matthew Perry delivers about Pat Robertson. I can see where they are coming from, but it doesn’t bother me. I would rather the writers be honest about how they feel – and there is a main Christian character who at least presents the other side. Jill tells me that this little sub-plot actually parallels the past relationship between Sorkin and Kristen Chinoweth. She knows everything about TV and movies. I guess those Entertainment Weeklys are good for something after all.
RATING: 3 Gullys
