Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip
2006
WEST WING creator Aaron Sorkin presents a revealing and very funny look at the backstage workings of a late-night comedy sketch show in STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP. The show (which is named STUDIO 60) is plummeting in the ratings and it looks like the network, NBS, might be about to axe it. In a last ditch attempt to revive .. Read more

Very Bad
It's one of the worst TV shows ever made and it's not funny at all, I didn't laugh once. I can't believe how bad it is. I thought that it was going to be a comedy because it has Chandler in it. But it isn't a comedy, it isn't anything, and the pathetic story-lines made me cringe.

What went wrong?
Before I had even watched one episode of Studio 60, I had read so much about why it was cancelled (offended the religious right, too clever for US audiences, etc, etc.) My take on why it was cancelled? It's pretty poor!
I was a massive fan of The West Wing (also written by Aaron Sorkin); I still recommend it to people and I'd rate it in my top 5 of all time TV greats but this pales in comparison. Characters are poorly developed and interaction is predictable. The worst element is the number of 'in-jokes' that revolve around the television industry itself - where the West Wing succeeded was making the presidential story-line not about the President, but the real people backing him up - Studio 60 resorts to one-dimensional characters in an unfamiar and somewhat uninteresting scenario.
Should it have gone onto a further season I can't say I would have made any effort to watch it. Wouldn't recommend hiring this unless you are bored! -
