Matthew’s keeping me up!

I’m hooked on Matthew Perry’s new series “Studio 60”. It’s by the same guys behind “West Wing”: Tommy Schlamme and Aaron Sorkin. Bradley Whitford co-stars with Matt as the comedy show Producer to his Head Writer. Now this, I can relate to. I loved Matthew’s stint on “West Wing”, and I think as a result of that, Aaron S. decided to put the two together. TV just wasn’t the same without them. Sarah Paulson and Amanda Peet are also on the show.
Aside from the lead actors, I love the premise. It’s set on a fictional Saturday Night Live-type show. The weekly grind and stress of a live show makes for very interesting TV. I can relate so much more to this than “West Wing”. Although you’ll recognize the title fonts and cinematography from “West Wing”. I love the deadpan humor of the script. The writing and direction are really good. I’m raving about this…it’s no wonder it’s keeping me up nights!
