The weather will continue...

...with variable changes.

That's pretty much the full extent of noteworthy news of late,here in the thriving necropolis of O-Town.

BUT!,..I do have a new favorite TV show.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
Brought to us by Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme, those brilliant dudes that created 'West Wing',which as we all know,is probably the best television show to come along since Leonardo DaVinci invented the cathode ray tube back in 1804.(Oh,..put your hands down,..I'm workin' here!)..

It's a seriocomic ,behind the scenes peek into the corporate machinations and personal lives of the people involved in bringing their 'Saturday Night Live" clone to the small screen each week.The dialogue is crisp and witty,filled with Hollywood insider references,and the actors already seem comfortable in their new personas.As well they should be,since they are basically playing characters we are familiar with,albeit,in a different setting.They are,(in numerical order);

1)Bradley Whitford (Josh Lyman on cocaine).
2)Matthew Perry.
3)Timothy Busfield(equally credible as a vengeful nerd,or a Pulitzer prize winning reporter)
4)Steven Weber,..and..
5)Amanda Peet (appearing regularly in my most prurient and demented dreams).

I hope this post has found you and yours in the best of health and spirits,..as for me,I'm going to stalk a few friends,and then catch the new episode of 'House',..probably the best television show to come along since,..well,..you get the point.

TV?? That's the devil's machine! It will never catch on. Acually Sling, if the show is that good, it wont last long--like that fox show about the insane family and their business ... what was the name of that???

"Arrested Development", City Mouse. Only one of the best shows ever...wait...anyway, Sling, I too am very much enjoying "Studio 60". I think I should make Aaron Sorkin a Koihead. TV without him is like, well, crappy TV.
