I'm sure this has been discussed, but gosh, what a cast!

Amanda Peet, Judd Hirsch, Steven Webber, Bradley Whitford, Sarah Paulson, Michael Stuhlbarg, Donna Murphy....and even a character "based" on Kristen Chenoweth!

How can you beat that? It's an excellent show...the pilot's up on AOL....legally.

Liking it a lot so far.

Didn't see Donna or the "Kristin" character yet.

I'm not sure if I would say brilliant, but it has potential.

The Kristen character is Harriet Hayes, played by the fantastic Sarah Paulson.

The show is a very well-written show, very interesting characters so far, and top of the line casting.
Donna Murphy's role seems quite minor but she's still great. The character based on Kristin Chenoweth is the Christian actress called Harriet played by Sarah Paulson (the resemblance is uncanny).

WOW. When the Kristin character came on for the first time is was speechless! If he denies that that's her...

Cheno'sBiggestfan - Sorkin has stated in many interviews that it's based on her. There's absolutely no "if" there.

I'm not hooked on the show (yet). It does have potential but tonight's episode wans't anything to rave about.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I caught most of it. I really liked what I saw. It's a good show.

I thought this episode was very well-written, and it cerainly has potential. I'll be tuning in next week for sure.

I hadn't read any of the press interviews about this show, so I had no idea Sorkin based a character on Chenoweth. I knew immediately it had to be her though...the whole singing on Pat Robertson's show story-line gave it away...

For those who don't know, Sorkin and Chenoweth went out for a year or so....I'm assuming based on Studio 60 alone that they broke up because of the Pat Robertson thing.

Guys, it will take a couple of episodes to completely warm up to it, but you can see the vintage Sorkin.

when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.

I interrupted listenening to the CDs of a superb revival of a 30's musical to watch the show and it was fantastic. Now back to 1930's London....

Judd Hirsch's monologue was brilliant and an accurate view of what is called "entertainment" today. Any show that begins with that kind of honesty, will have my viewership.

So, where can you watch the pilot online? I watched the show, but I was busy doing other things. I would like to watch it again.

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Plus getting that dirty a joke on national TV. The director cut Hersch off in mid word (the word being mother******). Then having Bradford Whitford saying to the director that if he'd left him on for one more second, he'd have given him a raise.

It's like the old movie production code. Nowadays the TV producers are finding clever ways to insert the dirty jokes and slip em by the FCC.

After watching the Class, I put this on.
It was hysterical. When the Kristin-character came on and mentioned 700 Club I almost died. I was like "Cheno?"

Matthew Perry was great. As was Amanda Peet.
