I like everything Aaron Sorkin does. Starting with a little-known show called Sports Night to a big-time movie like A Few Good Men, this Sorkin dude can write.
Of course he's the creator of one my favorite TV shows, The West Wing.
Last night was the last episode of something called Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, a kind of backstage look at an SNL style show.
Great dialogue, lots' of sassy chit chat and sucky ratings.
Too bad cause it was some good TV and one of the few destination shows for me. ( I also like Entourage, 30 Rock, and Giada' Weekend Getaway-she's juicy-licious.)
I remember when I first saw Sports Night and was blown away by how many words he'd cram into a 30 minute episode. Maybe a little too smart for the fly-over states but I dug it.
It didn't last and neither did Studio 60.
If you'd like a little more perspective on the man and his shows check out this article from the TV Squad. I did.

I loved Studio 60 and am pissed that it was cancelled. I LOVED the West Wing and am still missing Josh terribly, which may be why I actually liked S60 so much! He is Josh-ilicious!
I am mad because it is 'smart tv' and there is very little 'smart tv' on. But we're not talking nuclear science here - how stupid do you have to be to have this show fly over your head? I used to always laugh that any of my american friends did not watch West Wing but I knew tonnes of Canadians that watched it religiously!
I could take these comments to the next level but should stop here.
