Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

Aaron Sorkin has an uncanny ability to mesh comedy with drama in a manner that I have never seen on air before. Below is the pilot episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, a show lasting only 1 season, but offering quality matching and surpassing The West Wing and SportsNight. I’m still sitting here attempting to grasp why I love his work so much. It’s partly due to the idealistic characters Aaron creates; characters that perform their jobs for the sake of bettering mankind. While rare in the real world, Studio 60 fills you with the sense that there are still people left in showbiz that write comedy for the laugh and not the buck.

Watch the first episode and when you’re ready you can catch the rest of the series here on Hulu.

    I don’t understand why they pulled this show after one season. Is the American audience that basic? I’m really disillusioned after this one. The show is smart, funny, moving, fast-paced, interesting, cute, well-acted, well-executed, solid, good. And they canceled it. ::head hung in sorrow and embarrassment::
