live, from the sunset strip, its studio 60...

nothing makes me want to blog more than Aaron Sorkin news.

so "Studio 60 from the Sunset Strip" isn't really news...or, rather i'm a very untimely reporter...but suddenly i'm all hot and bothered about it.

it all starts with the West Wing; the show that nobody wants to watch until they get irrevocably hooked. its one of those things that happens gradually, but feels like it happens overnight; just ask my ex-girlfriends, my various roommates, or me. the Bravo reruns caught me around the throat, a couple years ago. its important that i specify the Bravo-run of the West Wing and not its network run at the time; after season 4, Sorkin left the show. i never gave it a chance after that. it might not have been all that bad, but how could it ever be as good again? the point is, i've never watched a whole episode that Sorkin didn't write, with the exception of Sunday's series finale. cute episode, by the way. worth the fuss? no, not really. the show was long overdue for cancelling, without Sorkin's pen. but i couldn't resist watching the very last episode of my very favourite, if devolved, television show. good thing i did. the bright spots? the commercials of course, specifically this one -- a thirty second teaser for Sorkin's shiny new Studio 60. the cast looks phenomenal.

can't wait. :)

That commercial was the best part of this final season of West Wing. Man, it was a painful season!

i'd hardly call it a harem....but most of them i'm on good terms with, more or less.


except for the fact that i broke their hearts.
