Attention West Wing fans. Studio 60 is the new show created by Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme. It airs September 18th in the States and we’ll no doubt get to see it a few week or months after. It’s an inside view of how the TV industry works from the viewpoint of a show like Saturday night live. The West Wing but in Hollywood. It stars Bradley Whitford, Matthew and a very hot Amanda Peet. The pilot has been leaked online and I watched it there. DAMN. It’s like watching a Sorkin episode of West Wing. I’m hooked and sold on this. The leaked pilot is also on YouTube, the first part is below. Bound to get removed unless it was a cool marketing ploy. Watch as a guy loses it live on air. This is going to be great. Matthew Perry is already going to win an Emmy. And Sorkin.
Video no longer available. Dammit! Too slow!
NBC must have been trawling the youtube site.
What was up there was a pre-production edit (a lot of the music and credits are marked with “to be done later”.
The show airs on September 1.
Having said that, it’s bloody brilliant, but I can’t help wondering if backstage at “Saturday Night Live” (on which the show’s show is based) is really like that.
