Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006-7 Aaron Sorkin)

This is what he did straight after The West Wing, and brought with him Bradley Whitford and Matthew Perry and Timothy Busfeld, not to mention photographer Thomas del Ruth, producer Eli Attie and director Thomas Schlamme. And the bald guy from Californication. Then added an Amanda Peet for good measure.

Others are: Sarah Paulson, Steven Weber as the (initially) unpleasant head of network, D.L. Hughley (can't think who his voice reminds me of), Nate Corddry, Lucy Davis, Merritt Wever, Ayda Field.

Loved moment where Perry says 'I have to make things happen!' and accidentally smashes the window behind him with his baseball bat.

'Dangling modifier' crops up again... (A grammatically badly worded phrase that leaves it open to misinterpretation.)

Guest stars: Judd Hirsch, Eli Wallach, Rob Reiner, Sting, John Goodman (in great 'Nevada' two-parter), Allison Janney.

Was it a real old studio? I don't think so but it's hard to be sure.

We loved it.
