I HATE network TV, especially Dramas like ER, Law & Order, CSI, they're retarded. But I liked the first 3 episodes of S60. The last episode (West Coast) was a bit lame and took a bit to get going...If it starts drifting into relationship-land like every Doctor, Lawyer, Cop show does then I'll quit watching I think....

I really like it. Of course, I think Matthew Perry could make reading the phone book sound funny, so I could be biased.

I really like the show; I think it was smart for NBC to think of a way to continue the West Wing style of deadpan humor and realistic drama. I never could get into West Wing, but since this show revolves around sketch comedy TV, I find it more interesting.
Matthew Perry is great when playing to other talented actors; the combination of he and Bradley Whitford is great. I also really like Sarah Paulsen on it--who knew she was so funny? I think Amanda Peet's character could use a little more depth, unless they are trying to show her as a rather boring person to contrast with the dramatic personalities.
All in all, I give it 2 thumbs up! Only I don't understand why there are two shows spoofing sketch comedy on NBC! Are they just trying to boost SNL ratings? :)

I am so so so thrilled this show is on! I was heart-broken when West Wing ended. I see lots of little West Wing-like touches in this show, but the environments for the shows are so different.
So far, I've really enjoyed this series, and I hope they keep up the good work. If it stays on its current track, I'll remain a loyal watcher.

This is the first Aaron Sorkin show I've watched, and I like it so far (haven't watched 3rd one yet... thank the Lord for DVR). Heroes is great, too. I'm giving Jericho a try (missed the second, but the pre-credits sequence caught me up) and now that Battlestar Galactica is back on, I'm in heaven.

It is ok, but it is too much like West Wing...right down to the black screens w/white print "narrating" scenes, the walking thru the hallways talking, etc.
I get annoyed at how much it really is like West Wing but I love Matthew Perry & Bradley Whitford so I keep watching!

Aaron Sorkin is a genius! This show, like his West Wing (when he was writing), is incredible. While, i'm sure there will be some standard plot points in the show, Sorkin will continue to compliment those parts with his quirky humor.

Don't really care for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, but we are really into Jericho on CBS. It comes on Wednesdays, That and Smallville on Thursdays are the only shows our family watches.

Great question. I like the tone... the drama surrounding comedy. The actors are great, too.

I feel asleep during it so I would give it a thumbs down
