As many of you know, the closest thing I have to a hero is Aaron Sorkin, the creator and writer of The West Wing.  As some of you also know, the TV Show, The West Wing originally started as a Broadway play by Sorkin entitled "The American President", but after several trimming drafts down, the story about the people behind the scenes of a Presidency were on the cutting room floor and eventually the script was adapted into the film The American President and the trimmings from the script became the TV Show, The West Wing.  But the reason Aaron Sorkin is my hero has very little to do with WHAT he wrote, rather it has to do with HOW he wrote it.

You see, amongst the thousands of television writers currently writing for TV today, there are really only two, in my opinion, who are truly gifted writers.  The other is Alias/Lost creator/writer/producer J.J. Abrams.  But while J.J. Abrams is the ultimate TV Thriller/Suspense writer, Aaron Sorkin is the ultimate television comedy writer.  When I watch his writing, I laugh ... and I'm not an easy person to make laugh.  But while I love The West Wing and it makes me laugh, it's a political drama with some great comedic moments.  This show, is a drama following the lives of the people who write, produce, direct, act in, and work on a sketch comedy show.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip only ran for a single season on NBC, but honestly, if you download and watch this season, I think you'll find that all of humanity was robbed by the fact that this show didn't continue.  Starring Matthew Perry, Bradley Whitford, Amanda Peet, Sarah Paulson, D.L. Hughley, Nathan Corddry, Steven Weber, and Timothy Busfield as well as many others, the show is packed with great comedic and dramatic acting talent.

So the show is a character driven comedy-drama about the folks running a sketch comedy show which is filmed live on a famous stage on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood and is the biggest competitor for "Saturday Night Live".  In reality, the show is a parody of what it must be like to make a show like "SNL".  One of my favorite things about this show is how each episode starts with a few minutes lead-in (like a real sketch-comedy) that HYPES the viewer up to see the rest of the show.  As the show's theme and title comes up after a few minutes, you are pumped to see what happens next and more often than not, you're laughing.

Another thing I really like about this show is that the comedy is not written "for dumb people".  Not that there's anything wrong with "dumbed down" comedy.  We all need some good "dick and fart" jokes, but this show is "intellectual comedy".  Some of you may be thinking, I don't get "smart comedy", my response to that would be, GIVE IT A TRY!  YOU'RE NOT AS DUMB AS YOU LOOK!  :D  LOL

Basically, I'm uploading this because I can't imagine someone not liking it.  But obviously, there must have been people who didn't like the show since it was taken off the air, but I'd like to think that maybe it was circumstance that caused this show to end, rather than lack of interest.  The one last thing I'll say before showing you some screens is that Sorkin and other writers & producers prepared for the show to end after only a single season, and the last four episodes are Sorkin's way of giving the series an ending, and as it is a dramatic crisis involving the characters, there is some comedy, but in these episodes, the comedy is used much more like it was on The West Wing ... to cut the tension.
