Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip on DVD (2006)

A customer from ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE , 17/02/2008

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.

This awesome, but unfortunately now, canceled TV show has been hyped up to such a degree (thanks to Sorkins' impeccable reputation for lightning fast dialog and some of the best script writing ever -West Wing) that when everyone tuned in and realized it wasn't going to be exactly like the West Wing they switched off. Not sure whether or not it was because American's did'nt 'get' it, after all they were smart enough to see the West Wing all the way through to it's seventh series, but of course they did elect an idiot to the presidency 2 times, so it's anyone guess.

The show centers round Mathew Perry and Bradley Whitford, a writer and producer respectively, who are drafted in to save American TV from it's thoughtless torrid of reality shows and recycled television skits, by a network who had previously fired them for being politically outspoken.

So at it's heart there's the conflicts with the Chairman who cannot stand either of them, a newly appointed executive who wants to give them a chance, the rift between matt's character and his ex-girlfriend who stand on opposite sides of the religious fence. Not to mention the rest of the cast and crew.

It's a complex show, and it's a shame it was never really given enough time to break into full stride. Perry and Whitford are as usual excellent beyond comparison. Definitely give it a go.

Devised by Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing (the best programme ever made), Studio 60 lives up to its pedigree. Fast moving, fast talking, witty and moving at the same time, it does for TV Light Entertainment, what The West Wing did for Politics.

Matthew Perry (Chandler from Friends and former West Wing cameo) and Bradley Whitford (Josh from The West Wing) are a great double act - bouncing off each other incredibly naturally and always with the sort of wit that makes you feel slightly inadequate, it's so sharp.

It's too clever for the Americans - apparently they cancelled it after the first season. A travesty. If you missed it on More4, now's your chance to catch up - you won't regret it.

Brilliantly written, directed and acted. Shame it was cancelled after one season (too clever for US audiences?). If you enjoyed The West Wing and/or love comedy - this is for you.

I was told this was going to be a really great comedy and it wasn't - a comedy that is. Dont get me wrong, it's got some very funny moments in it, but it's not a comedy.

What it is, is a great story about a TV show and the people in it. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I wish there had been a second series.
