Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip: Discussion Thread

[King]

ITA, CSW. The price is key here. Didn't Sorking get paid multi-million dollars JUST to write the pilot?

It's a great show. It's a quality drama. And I am pissed, but I am not sure it's going to last.

However, they did get second place for the timeslot, right? That's kind of good. NBC has gotten a lot worse especially LATELY.

Saw episode 2 tonight (we get the show on Sundays in Canada ).

After watching this episode, I have to say that I like everyone! LOL Every character is just top notch.

I didn't even recognize Ayda Fields who played Angela Moroni on DAYS. I guess she's changed a lot since I last saw her in 2001.

And the Cold Open at the end of the episode -

Won't go into details until it airs on NBC.

I love Ayda Fields, she was OUTSTANDING as Angela Maroni and especially in her emmy-worthy final scenes on DAYS.

Is she a regular on this show?

[Andre]

Ayda Fields was good if who I think she was she actually *was*. Toups, she was the female cast member who spent the night with Matt, right?

I thought the show was good but I wasn't blown away. The cast is great, but it is really missing something i can't put my finger on.

[King]

Emmy-worthy as ANGELA MORONI!?!?!?!?! MITCH!!!! She was HORRENDOUS! Haha. Her dying scenes were hilarious. IMO, of course.

Can't wait for this. This show gets me excited for primetime t.v. and NBC again. It's also inspired me to watch WEST WING, which I have never, ever watched an episode of before this past week. I got the DVD's.

I finally got to watch the season premiere last week and i loved the show..It was awesome seeing Felicity Hoffman playing herself..and i love all the main characters...This is such a great premise for a tv show..Can't wait for episode 2...

[Toups]

Yup, that's her. She looks different and she didn't have the italian accent so it took me a while to put 2 and 2 together. lol

Nice! The first 4 seasons (Sorkin's years) are awesome.

[Mitchapalooza]

I did, I honestly thought she was AWESOME in here final scenes, when she took that bullet for Brandon. I actually cried!

[KBT]

I loved her final scenes as well

[BadZoe]

Did anyone else get dead air from CTV for 15 minutes about half way through? I have to re-watch that part again tonight on NBC.

[Toups]

Yes, I'm watching it again. LOL

Matt: "Was she calling us Hollywood liberals, or was she calling us gay?"

Danny: "It’s a fine distinction."

------------------------------------------

Reporter: "Were you aware of Danny's drug problem?"

Jordan: "I can't recall, I was high when he told me."

And Amanda Peet looks really gorgeous in this episode.

[Toups]

"Then I'm just a guy in a wig?" - I love this guy. LOL

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I'm on the phone with Clay Aiken's manager."

"Then hang up the damn phone."

[King]

LMAO! I love this show. So witty. And smart. I can't multi-task and watch this show. LOL.

[Josh]

Okay tonight was freaking awesome!!! Aaron Sorkin I am in love. You have no idea.

Looking freaking good!!!!

[Toups]

I've never heard of Rapture magazine. It has 4 times the circulation of Vanity Fair?

Yup, you have to pay attention to catch the jokes and because the characters talk really really fast. LOL
