‘Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip’
“Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” was hit showrunner Aaron Sorkin’s followup to “The West Wing”. Between the show’s stellar cast and Sorkin’s famed wit, the show had a solid foundation. It followed the behind-the-scenes creation of a sketch-style show, similar to “Saturday Night Live”. Unfortunately, it premiered in the same season as Tina Fey’s “30 Rock”. Fey’s show had the same premise, and although hers was a comedy and Sorkin’s show a drama, comparisons abounded. Though “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” was a compelling watch, it couldn’t escape the shadow of the massive hit “30 Rock.”
