And Yet Another Entry for "No, really. We talk like this."

[gnomi]

Background: gnomi and mabfan are watching the pilot of "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."



mabfan: I've never liked Peripheral Vision Man; it's never been funny.

gnomi: Y'know, I used to love this show.

mabfan: Mm?

gnomi: Yeah -- I'd stay up late after "Wormhole X-Treme!" to watch "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."

STUDIO 60!!!!!

I watched the pilot twice. TWICE.

Heh. We've seen it twice, too -- once on Netflix and then again on our TiVo last night.

Already I'm in love with this show.

The thing that never fails to amaze me about Sorkin is his ability to write such different shows with such similar style and wit and intelligence. I seriously forgot that I was watching Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford. I was just watching these two guys try to cope with all the changes. It rocked my world.

Also, the use of guest stars from the great comedies of back in the day just thrilled me to no end.

Yeah, "Wormhole X-Treme" was okay, but I much preferred styaing up to watch the revival of "Galaxy Quest." Who would ever have thought that a show from the 70s could be updated so well, and with the same cast?

I miss that show.

I don't know. I think the show lost something by having Tommy Webber play a grown-up Laredo still at his same station. I think they should have moved Laredo into another position (security, maybe?) and gotten another kid for the helmsman role.

And that new woman they brought in, to be Kwan's love interest? She was really weird.
