日落大道60号

这部电视剧充满了Aaron Sorkin式的诙谐、智慧，演员阵容也没得挑。

这次的背景是好莱坞传播巨头，一个讥讽时政、在艺术和商业之间挣扎的节目，每期都会有妙语连珠的“金句”和争议性的话题。每集的音乐嘉宾也很值得期待。

另外感情戏也很有趣：

Matt是信奉自由主义、无神论的东北犹太佬，他刚分手的女朋友Harriet是南方保守的浸礼会教徒，她相信Matt会下地狱烈火焚身。

Matt不愿意回到Studio 60，Harriet是那个节目的主角，如果去了他会忍不住当众……杀了她。

他说自己已经不爱她了：她相信世界是6天中造出来的，不过这不是我们分手的首要原因。两个人不合适还需要多少证据呢？但我看到她在台上……我仰慕她的才华，这女人有成千上万的粉丝，但只有我知道她到底有多棒，就这么回事，我仰慕她，我仰慕她的才华。她能逗我笑，我也喜欢逗她笑，虽然让她笑不容易，但很值得。她很性感，我喜欢她冲我笑还有她的小动作，但仅此而已。
Danny：老天，我们完蛋了。
Matt：我知道。

Harriet给他的见面礼是个大耳光，幸好Matt先服了止痛药。为了赔礼道歉，她送了根明星签名的棒球棍。
Matt火大了：他在上面签了自己的电话号码？你没看见吗？
Harriet：这是他的电话号码？
Matt：那你以为是什么？
Harriet：我以为是他的球衣号，嗯，他们签名的时候都写的。
Matt：对，你认为他的球衣号是十位数的，是三十一亿六百七十八万六千五百……他在钓你！
Harriet：如果我想让你吃醋的话，也用不着这招。
Matt：我是吃醋了！

这时Tom建议他去找一个脱衣舞娘，问她要只靴子并在上面写上她的三围。
Tom：你拿到靴子了吗？
Matt：我把靴子还回去了，连我的自尊一起。
Tom: (很不屑地) 我和女朋友分手的时候就已经放弃自尊了。
Matt：你出主意的时候怎么不提这一点？

……

这只是前几集，已经很值得期待。

因为老友记里的钱德看了这部剧，开始的第一集挺精彩，后来的剧情拖沓，让人昏昏欲睡，感觉从第二集到第九集剧中人一直在吵架。几乎都要放弃了，强迫自己看到第十集，却发现越发精彩起来，让人欲罢不能。看完了第一季，因为这最后几集，开始期待后面的剧情了。Jordan这个女人太强势了，那个新的女副手也不是善类，估计第二季会有出彩的情节。越来越喜欢danny,觉得这个男人有种独特魅力，他喜欢jordan后表现出的孩子气，浪漫而纯真。

In 2006, after 3 years of absence, Aaron Sorkin came back to NBC with his new show, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, a show about behind-secene stories of a fictional late-night sketch comedy show that airs on a fictional televion network, NBS(National Broadcasting System). Simply put, basically it is a duplicate of the SNL in another parallel universe. Designed to be "cutting-edge", the show rests itself upon long and quick conversations on ideological conflicts, religious beliefs, gay rights, and other big issues alike. Clearly enough, Aaron Sorkin was hoping to make a Hollywood version of The West Wing.

In one of the early episode, a journalist of Vanity Fair gets a full access to the show so as to write a special column about it. When Matt Albie, the head writer and executive producer, played by Matthew Perry, asks her during one of the many conversations why a journalist as prominent and political as she is, who had covered presidential campaigns, would want to write stories of a televison show, she responds, "I'm writing about it because what's happening here is important. I'm writing about it because I think popular culture in general and this show in particular are important." To be sure, this is not her talking. This is Aaron Sokin himself talking.

One season later, in sharp contrast with the huge anticipation before and the intense bid between networks for the pilot, the show was cut because of poor performance in ratings. The viewer numbers dropped their way down until the end, and the critics, largely comdians, were nothing but disdainful, accusing it of being unrealisitic and exaggerating television shows and its people's intellegence and infuence on American viewers.

Meanwhile, another show, also based on stories behind a fictional sketch comedy show, won more than one man can hold with both arms at the Emmy, except it is a comedy instead of drama. It is, of course, 30 Rock. It is not smug, nor condescending, nor trying to convey big, remote, complicated ideas to ordinary American people who sit in their couch after a long day merely looking for something funny to watch. It is simply made to be funny. It is the opposite of Studio 60. And It worked.

It must have been a big slap for Aaron Sorkin.

Then, two years later, came the 2008 presidential campaign. We all know the result as we can draw thousands of conclusions. But, notably, one of the most significant one of which is inarguably the former Alaska's governor, Sarah Palin. To be fair, however, the female role model governor's debut did not appear as devastating for Mccain's presidency as it later turned out to be, if anything, it surely has much to do with Tina Fey's merciless impersonation of her on the SNL, a late-night sketch comedy show that is real.

- Could somebody add some extra drama and irony, please?
- Tina Fey being the creator and leading actress of 30 Rock.

Yeah, that'll do it.

   其实没有看全《The West Wings》而来对Studio 60说三道四实在是有点妄断的成分，何况11集的情节发展并不见得就能完全定论故事的好坏和人物的个性。
    高速运转,人脑被机器和利益包围的电视界，Studio 60的团队有点近乎于古老传统似的优雅了。大段大段快速而幽默的台词，ep01开始的理想主义情结，ep06里讲述演播室历史营造出的传统，不管有心或者无意，Sorkin在这个投资巨大包装华丽的故事中塞进了一些人文的内核。问题就像WSJ说的那样，阳春白雪并不能拯救NBC。更何况60还是围着电视业这个题目就事论事地捣鼓个不停，也难怪收视率不高，除了同样的媒体从业者和那些“受过至少四年大学教育的高知识层人口”，谁吃饱了撑的休闲时光还给自己找难题？
    不过这似乎不符合Sorkin本人对收视群体的预期，他否认了外界对60思想性的揣测，说它并非来源于真实的故事，不过只是一个有着浪漫喜剧元素的办公室剧集。很明显NBC和观众并不是这样想的。所以这又是一个天才所犯的不自知的错误，简而言之叫做人在江湖身不由己。他可是Aaron Sorkin啊。当前任执行制片对着镜头骂出“你们手里的遥控器就是万恶之源”的时候，当Matt和Danny围在老编剧面前听他讲述Studio针砭时弊的过往的时候，谁会认为自己是在看一出“有着浪漫喜剧元素的办公室剧集”。
    Anyway,我受够了Harriet这个傻妞的偏执，也不喜欢Jordan被塑造成一个被保护者。既然错了何不将错就错。Forget about romance，just try to change the world.

Studio 60是我新剧中最喜欢的

华丽丽的片头 看着就让人热血沸腾
电视界啊！讲的可是我最向往的电视界啊！而且还是美国的电视界啊！
虽然Studio 60的收视率总是那么危险(Aaron Sorkin+Matthew Perry+Bradley Whitford的组合实在不该只有这么点收视率 胸闷死)
但是好歹也安全拿到了full season order了
我便也安心的跟了

我发现Danny实在太charming了 那是一种不同于Matt的魅力
他总是那么忠实地在Matt的身边 给他灵感 帮他解决麻烦 这种关心深藏不露
Danny竟然给了我如同父亲般的温暖感觉

至于Matt 我还是那句话 抛开Chandler的光环 他还是魅力十足 crazy about him always!

还有Studio 60中的其他人 都有着自己的电视梦
就如同ep02中他们唱的
We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show

最后 瓦卡卡 Shipper的本性
Matt和Harriet 分手后依然暧昧 2次几乎都要kiss了 可惜...不过这样感觉反而更好
想象还没出名的时候Matt会是怎样努力写sketch来吸引Harriet的注意啊
以至于Matt听到如下这句话的时候会感慨万千:
You know, sometimes I think the only reason I got a sketch on the air was 'cause I was trying to write well enough so that she would notice me.
至于Danny 我真的好想知道他的感情经历= =这个可怜的男人 可以yy他和Jordan
