Since we're talking about new shows, I have to give props to NBC for this one. With Sorkin's writing and excellent behind-the-camera work, this has a real chance at being as long-running as The West Wing.
I love this show. I'm worried though because apparently ratings dropped off significantly mid way through the show. I hope NBC gives it a chance to gain an audience.
This is a quality show. It's well written, it's well paced, with good established actors and a good ensemble supporting cast. Shows like this find their audiences because people like us spread the word.
It's on again tonight at 10 p.m. People who enjoy quality TV should watch.
Not being a big fan of West Wing or Mathew Perry I did not paln on watching it but USA or Bravo or some other cabel network, aired the first episode late last night and Jud Hirsch caught my eye so I watced it... Great stuff! If the show contenues to cast a critical eye on networks and defacto censorship I wonder how long it will last (probably as long as the sponsors stck and the rateing are up) but I was impressed. My opinion of Mathew Perry went up as well. It must be refreshing for him be working with good material for a change.
I loved it. Of course, last night, I was watching the Saints, but I also watched it in parts. I REALLY liked the first week. I think that it will be around for a while.
This weeks show was so great. I can't get over the chemistry between Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford. They are such a great team. Funny funny show....love it!
I wasn't quite as impressed this time. I'd rather see them leave out the possible rekindling of Perry's relationship. The rest of the story lines were pretty good. I hope they don't start getting bogged down with soap opera type stuff this early.
