Look what Tommy Schlamme wrote in the Studio 60 blog:
--------
Josh Malina...

Everytime Nate Corddry screws up a take, Perry puts him on Josh Malina Watch.

(Nate responds..."Nate Corddry here, I'm too big of a star for some skank stat-head from Sports Night to take my job! I could totally take that guy in a fight!")

Ha!

Easily the best pilot I've seen since Arrested Development. Wow.

When Judd Hirsch did his little homage to Network within the first five minutes, my jaw was literally hanging off. Amazing.

LOVED it. This show has so much potential.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


ALL:
We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show
Each time that we walk into this august and famous studio
We're starting out from scratch after a run of twenty years and so
We hope that you don't mind that our producer was caught doing blow

CHORUS:
They hope that you don't mind that their producer was caught doing blow
They hope that you don't mind that their producer was caught doing blow
They hope that you don't mind that their producer was caught doing lots of blow

MEN:
Yes it's hard to be a player when at heart you've always had a hunch
To bite the hand that feeds you is a scary way of doing lunch
But still when we walk into this august and famous studio
We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show

CHORUS:
But still when they walk into this august and famous studio
They'll be the very model of a modern network TV show

HARRIET:
I am a Christian tried and true, baptised at age eleven
So unlike the liberals, gays and Jews I'm going straight to heaven

JEANIE:
But if you feel you've been cheated and our sordid content lets you down

WOMEN:
We'll happily do the favour of an intellectual reach-around

CHORUS:
They'll happily do the favour of an intellectual reach-around
They'll happily do the favour of an intellectual reach-around
They'll happily do the favour of a hundred dollar hooker's reach-around

HARRIET: (spoken)
That wasn't the same thing we said!

CHORUS:
They'll happily do the favour of a frugal euphemistic reach-around

ALL:
We know the Evangelicals are lining up to tag our toe
And then the corporations will not hesitate to pull their dough
But still when we walk into this august and famous studio
We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show

But still when we walk into this august and famous studio
We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show

But still when we walk into this august and famous studio
We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show

"verbal euphemistic reach-around", not "frugal", but it did make me laugh trying to imagine what a frugal reach-around might be.....twenty bucks?

I was so glad to see the musical number that I really didn't mind that he lifted it from a Saturday Night Live ep, with David Hyde Pierce, about ten years ago. Sorkin is a brilliant thief.

Felicity Huff was also a one-off on The West Wing. Janel, I think, was always scheduled to be on the show, not a one-off, but her character certainly grew from that starting point.

What was the lift? Spoofing MMG? Because alot of people do that? Or was it a tad more specific?

For me, the problem is that the musical number stuff was NOT what would have happened if, say, Danny and John had come back to Saturday Night LIve. It had the smell of what a 50-year old guy thinks is clever and funny. That's no way to get your audience for a show like that. The average age of a Not Ready For Primetimer is 30, not 50. And I'm still waiting to see how they handle sketch humor.

The other parts of the show I love, however.

I thought the musical number worked very well within the context of the show and was quite entertaining.

I think the point was to do someting totally unexpected and off the wall for a show of that nature. John Maucieri and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra fit the bill.

Did anyone catch the Sondheim quote last night? Stephen Webber said:

"Alright, now you know -
Thieves get rich and saints get shot
And God don't answer prayers alot."

Don't really like this show, but Matt Perry is doing really well. I watched it to see Donna Murphy.

I'd like it better if Whitford wasn't doing Josh, Perry wasn't doing Chandler, and Peet wasn't doing....Peet.

Weber is the only one who is legitimately trying to develop a character and not build on previous creations.
