With Aaron Sorkin.
Seriously.
I didn’t realize it until last night when I was watching Studio 60. I knew Sorkin created West Wing (which I loved) and which was why I had already decided to watch Studio 60. But, while we were watching I said to Fishdog…”Wow, this is some really smart dialogue. It reminds me of Sports Night. Wonder if Aaron Sorkin had anything to do with Sports Night, too?” (which I still contend is one of the smartest shows ever written…)
“Let’s IMDB it,” Fishdog says. (IMDB and Google are now our two favorite internet verbs)
I’ll be damned.
Of course he wrote Sports Night.
And guess what else? He wrote The American President…which is one of my all time favorite movies.
Oh yeah.
I’m in love with Aaron Sorkin.

I watched Studio 60 this morning when I got home from work. Great show! It definitely promises to be the new contender on the block!

I haven’t watched Studio 60 yet (we’ve got it taped) but Sports Night remains one of my favorite shows. The dialogue was smart, sassy and fast paced. Good to know someone else remembers and appreciates it!

I love all the shows (and American President) that you mentioned. Clever and wonderful. Studio 60 has a kick-butt cast too.
