Ten Reasons to Watch Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip

built-in forum for guest stars. Each episode of the fictitious Studio 60, like SNL, has a host. This sets up myriad possibilities for celebrities to play themselves on the show, which allows for any number of interesting and fun story lines. In the pilot, Sorkin stalwart Felicity Huffman was the host; Lauren Graham (from Gilmore Girls) will be appearing in a couple of upcoming episodes. Sorkin is a master at seamlessly integrating familiar faces into his shows (a la “The West Wing”) and is just another unique quality that sets Studio 60 above the pack.

7.It’s Funny

Sorkin is known for his drama, but his dialogue is rife with smart, natural humor that is sparked, not by unbelievable situations, but by character and conflict. The difference between the humor on Studio 60 and that on sitcoms is that Studio 60 isn’t filled with “jokes”. It’s organic and moves the story along and never seems out of place. You will laugh while watching Studio 60. That’s a guarantee.

8.It’s Dramatic

A vast number of characters, even within the first two episodes, have already been pitted against each other in various, interesting ways. Sorkin, again, weaves the conflict through his huge cast with seemingly little effort and has set up a ridiculous amount of story options for the rest of the season. The key, of course, is the characters. Most writers are tentative to pile on conflict with there characters; they like them too much. Sorkin loves to torture his and the emotional product of this is exquisite. Tension and suspense comes out of nowhere to grab hold of the viewer, making Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip as riveting a show as you’ll find on TV.

9.It Will Make Fun of TV

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is the perfect forum to satirize any and all aspects of the television industry. And don’t think Sorkin will be afraid to capitalize on this. From the very first scene of the pilot, when then-show runner Wes Mendell interrupts a live broadcast to lambast his own network and TV as a whole, we know that Studio 60 will be pulling no punches. Stay tuned, controversy may be up ahead.

10.It’s (Maybe) the Best Show on Television

Perhaps this is a little bold, but I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so in love with a show immediately out of the gates. Typically, great television shows take some time to develop and hit their peak. If Studio 60 gets any better, we’re in for something special. Even if it doesn’t, it’s special enough as is.
