Oct. 4th, 2006 09:22 amIt's time for Sam's Three Things about Studio 60! I was so tempted to make it Sam's Six Things, since there will be no House this week and thus no Three Things About House, but I decided to keep it simple. :D
1. Wow, could this show be just a little slashier?
2. The answer is no, by the way, not without actual gay sex. Though I am tempted to suggest that they may be taking Danny (that's uh, Josh from West Wing) down a plot arc about being in love with Matt -- we haven't heard anything about Danny's love life or what kind of person he finds attractive, which in a character-driven drama is a little odd. I'd also like to point out that actually 2 was supposed to be about Matthew Perry's continuing hair issues. Jesus, somebody wrest the styling gel from his hairdresser's grasp?
3. I'm kind of hoping that the actual sketches will be kept to a minimum in the series, because frankly, I find 99% of sketch comedy utterly uninteresting. Pick a joke, beat it to death, and make sure it's dead by giving it one last kick next week. I'm sure Matt and Danny are brilliant at what they do and try to beat the jokes as little as possible, but I'm glad all we had was a montage.
3a. Having said 3, I must point out that last week I saw "Commedia Dell'Arte" on the plannerboard and was intrigued, so I'm glad it got some air time this week.
3b. ( Cut for length when reposting. Jesus, I was longwinded in 2006. )
