It should be noted that this DVD won't play on PS2s. Other than that, it's great -- a fast, fun, bouncy, not-too-deep steadycam chase through the TV industry. A sketch comedy show, formerly of a high caliber but lately given to pandering, makes the news when the director flips out and tells the audience and his bosses that they suck. It's up the the sexy young lady executive to rebuild the reputation of the show, the clout of the network, and the quality of TV; and she just might do it, thanks to her own pluck, some precarious alliances with fragile geniouses, and extremely rapid banter. Contrived and silly, it left me breathless.
I you liked The West Wing even a little, you should like this new Aaron Sorkin show. Amazing cast and this Pilot makes me want to see more. I fear it may be too good to last on Network TV.
Very very good writing, with the rhythm reminding me of the first episode of West Wing. Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford are very likable as the leads. This show will hopefully do well.
