When I heard Aaron Sorkin was doing another series that featured a backstage look at something... a la "West Wing"... I was excited. I remembered the great dialog and dynamic characters from the early season of the "West Wing" and thought "Studio 60" could be another great hit. And for a while, I thought he had done it... even with S60's ratings declining week after week. I thought his "Christmas Show" episode was classic Sorkin... right down to "Oh Holy Night" featured prominently in the episode.
Then "Monday" came... and now I'm not so sure. I'm not sure whether it was the long holiday hiatus... or the fact that the dialog seemed forced last night, but "Monday" just didn't seem to me to a good direction for the show to go. Danny is getting dangerously close to a harrassment suit with Jordan, Jordan is apologizing to a blonde bitch that I think had it coming in the first place, and Jack is trying to break off the Macau deal so Wilson White can stay CEO of NBS?
Let's hope the next episode can get things a bit more back on track...
