More Studio 60 episodes ordered

Since television has become mind numbing eye candy with pretty flashes of colors and beautiful people scrolling across the screen in completely unrealistic situations, maybe we (general public) can no longer appreciate a new Show with complex characters dealing with everyday issues.

Because of the dry wit and sub text, this is one of the few shows that I make an effort to watch.

As for the Blonde, she is right on the money. She is not suppose to be an over the top loud mouth. She is supposed to be an intelligent thought provoking instrument for the writers and in my opinion, she has done just that. Articulate when called for and vulnerable when needed.

I hope the show make it.

I agree with Jen 100% - I'm more than sick of watching network shows that only serve to shut your mind down and provide dumb laughs (and reality TV is beyond done in my opinion). I want series that make me think and when I find myself thinking about the show again the next day, I know it's a good one. I switched almost entirely to HBO for smart series television when they cancelled Arrested Development, but I may come back to the cable networks once in a while for shows like Studio 60.

Regardless of your personal perceptions, beliefs and stereotypes, the show is well-cast and well-written. It's smart, timely and deals with the issues that need to be dealt with within the show's context. It's entertaining and is obviously pushing people's buttons, which means it's doing it's job. If it wasn't, we wouldn't be talking about it. Harriet is a great portrait of a woman who is struggling to keep her values and beliefs intact in a business where those things are ever-shifting. Sarah Paulson is doing a great job portraying that struggle. Seems like a few poeple may have an issue with a woman being the obvious lead comedic actor on this fictional show. Regardless of anything else, it makes me happy to see Matthew Perry in a show that may hvae a chance and in a role that gives him an opportunity to show us that he doesn't have to be funny all the time to be good. And bringing Mark McKinney on to write was an excellent move.

I have to admit that, so far, I don't necessarily care whether Matt and Harriet have a relationship or not. The dynamic between Matt and Danny is very entertaining and sharp - I can imagine that it's possible for conversations to be this fast and witty behind the scenes of a network comedy sketch show.

As for the obsession with Christianity - I think it works on two levels. Matt has a problem with Harriets religious views which causes him personal stress. But more importantly, in the macrocosm, Christianity and censorship are being forced down our throats daily in the context of "protecting the public airwaves" and both the show and the show-within-the-show are rebelling against it as much as possible without crossing that terrible line that might get them cancelled.

As far as the cast goes, I love it. Amanda Peet is smart and sexy with a great sense of dry humor. Matthew Perry does a great job of playing a prominent character without stealing the spotlight. Bradley Whitford is great as Danny and totally convincing as a leader for all the craziness that happens. And what about Timothy Busfield as Cal - the guy is very funny and has a great sense of delivery. I won't bother going on about the rest of the cast but I think they all add a tremendous amount to the show. The guest stars so far are truly brilliant and I hope to see a lot more of my favorites in the years to come.

I guess my main question is, what is with the Jesus obsession? Christianity, the most boring topic in the history of Earth, is the cornerstone of every episode. I am so sick of it. A real sketch comedy cast would be *so* much more edgy and interesting than this.

I am very happy to hear that Studio 60 will have the opportunity to build a fan base. It is well written, quick witted and so far, the acting couldn't get much better. The main character in every good show has a love interest but the one with Matt & Harriet doesn't work. I'm not sure what they should do about that. The rest has captured my interest. I'm anxious to see where they take the show.

It's been several episodes and he has proven he can't do it. The adience is gone and it's very hard to get them back. Impossible to get them back when the show is "bad"!

I disagree with most everything above. I love Studio 60. I find the writing incredible, and the acting/directing fantastic. Its not like West Wing, nor should it be.

If I had one complaint, its that the show is about a comedy show. They're not saving the world. Nate Corrdry, Sarah Paulson, D.L. Hughley, these guys are supposed to be comedy actors, and they seem so dour when they're on set.

But like I said, I love the show, so I'm excited about this. I want to see more and I hope more people see more. Its a great show.

Again, the Studio 60 haters emerge. The show will grow and learn and find its stride evntually. By the end of the season it will be conisitently good. So stop complaining.

I thought the first few episodes were great, interesting characters and smart dialogue. I really disliked the episodes where they dummied down Jordan, who would believe a smart, attractive, witty powerful woman doesn't have friends? Give me a break. The problem is as the episodes go on,you don't see why Matt likes Harriet--she is lame. I loved the last episode with the wacky character of John Goodman and the chinese viola player who has a crush on Tom Jetter.
Give us more like that! Also the storylines rely a lot on information that you only know if you live in New York (Page Six) and is lost on most of the country.
I do love the fact you can watch the episodes online right after the viewing. And this is also without buying it on Itunes. I think it is a great show with great potential--maybe it will get picked up by HBO if NBC drops it.
