So obviously I’ve been missing from PTP for quite a few months. It basically boiled down to my getting really behind on my tv viewing. (How behind? Here’s a hint; I’ve still yet to watch the final hour of 24.)
But now that I’m pretty caught up I figured it’d be [...]
“What kind of day has it been†is the question that sums up the last month of Studio 60 Episodes. It’s hard to believe that a primetime drama, other than 24 will focus for five episodes on the events that take place in a period of 10 hours, but Studio 60 was not you average [...]
Last month another TV season ended. It was another interesting one. But who exactly came out on top? Which shows climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down at all of its fallen foes in “TV Rerun Hell� Which shows got cut too soon and which shows surprised us all? What [...]
The latest run of Studio 60 is perhaps the saddest thing on TV this year. You’re watching a dying show that knows it’s dying and has no hope to see another year, presents some of the best written and acted drama in the 2006-7 season, trying to prove that its cancellation was a mistake.
This week’s [...]
What would you do if you were a highly acclaimed TV writer, who’s writing a show that critics rave about yet is being canceled because the public just doesn’t watch it? For Aaron Sorkin the answer is simple – tell the viewers and the network to fo f*** themselves.
And that’s what going on at the [...]
This week’s episode is the first of a two-parter, picking up from last week’s cliffhanger and going back in time using flashbacks to show us some key moments in the lives and careers of Matt, Danny and Harriet.
Sorkin loves to write politics. If four years on The West Wing weren’t enough, He also uses it [...]
Studio 60 continues to shine as it’s showing the rest of the episodes that were produced before the cancellation was made official. If last week’s episode was heavier on the comic side with the various disasters that plagued the show, this week we got a drama heavy episode and there was nothing funny about any [...]
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is like a dead man walking. The show’s making its last steps towards the sunset, as it wasn’t renewed and NBC is just burning the rest of the episodes that were shot in order to fill holes in the schedule. With that in mind, it’s really sad that the [...]
When NBC announced that they’re putting two “SNL Backstage” shows on the air this season, I was excited. Both shows looked like they were made from the right stuff. An Aaron Sorkin Drama starring Bradley Whitford & Matthew Perry and a Tine Fey sitcom starring Alec Baldwin and Tracey Morgan (produced by the legendary Lorne [...]
That’s how you do it. This episode gave us Studio 60 as it should be, and we also, finally, moved on to a new week. While this episode was again very heavy on the romance front, it also dealt with the actual process of writing and producing a TV show, this time focusing on the [...]
