"Studio 60" Stunning

I reached climax watching STUDIO 60 last night. Aaron Sorkin's new show was a perfect pilot, a wonderful ride with great pacing, fabulous tone transitions, inspired writing, character-driven plot, a boob tube pinacle of beauty. If you're a TV nerd, STUDIO 60 is PORN. Seriously, my heart was aflutter. I jumped up and down overwhelmed by joy during every commercial break. I haven't celebrated like that since SPORTS NIGHT premiered in the Fall of '98. At the very end of the show "UNDER PRESSURE" (my all time favorite song) started in the background and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven, like it was just for me.

Rant Section:
I have a new show in my life. AWESOME. I love AMANDA PEET and BRAD WHITFORD. I love that Sorkin always puts a character in recovery IN EVERY ONE OF HIS SHOWS. I loved how Whitford described falling off the wagon, like it 'just happened' after 11 years' sobriety. That shit happens ALL THE TIME. I adore Peet's female, savvy, newbie network president character. I also LOVE the Christian cast member chyck. What potential for amazing television! More, more, gimme some more!

Aaron Sorkin is GOD.

WITH YOUR LOVELY HOST...

Miss Shannon.

I'm hosting tomorrow night @ The Improv - 7pm. I'm also doing a little 'nooner' there at 4pm upstairs in the Improv Cafe. In the morning I'll be sampling NY Improv Cereal at Nick's C-Town in Park Slope and tonight you can find me grooving out to DJ Improv at Cielo. Improv spins at 12:30, so it's not for the faint of heart with the early bedtime.

See you there.

I'll be wearing these boots.
