Boy, was I excited today when I saw that “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” was back on air ! This is a drama/comedy (termed as ‘Dramedy’) that airs on NBC. This show is excellent ! Everything has a cause and every dialogue said is needed and not just something thrown in. It has fun, comedy, drama, excitement (sometimes) and a nice cast and yet it doesn’t do well and the ratings fall and the show is nearly cancelled ! Hmm…why am I not surprised ! Why does America always want the slapstick comedy shows or the reality shows – which are barely “real”. Why does everything have to be “in your face”. For once can they appreciate something really good?

Anyways, this is just another one of my ramblings ! I can go on and on but lets focus on the show. The show features Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford as 2 directors re-hired in Studio 60 when the current director is fired. Everything revolves around the show and that is what makes this show so intricate. The entire cast have their own lives, which are intertwined every now and then, but the glue is always the “show” itself. I really like this show no matter what the general public thinks of it – I give credit to Aaron S0rkin for creating this show – It takes a lot to create something intelligent, funny and dramatic – not many people will appreciate that but when you see what I see then you too will appreciate it !

All in all – a series worth watching – I hope all of you’ll who read this will take some time to see this show and appreciate it. Give all of those reality series and other shows a break and watch this – It is worth it…

Oh did I mention all the “Stars” that have performed on this show? Take a look…

UPDATE: Watching the episode tonight, I realised why I love this show so much – every person in the show has a character. From Matthew Perry’s secretary to a doctor performing some routine tests on Amanda Peet. Each one of them have character and it takes only a single dialogue by the actor playing the role to give the exact description of that character and that in my mind is simply Brilliant ! You don’t need a full episode, not even a full scene – just a simple dialogue to make it clear to the viewer what kind of character the actor is playing – What a Beauty !
