日落大道60号

我也是应为JOSH才看的这部剧，一看就觉得熟悉，再一查编剧，果然是 the west wing的，这个风格真的喜欢，Bradley whitford依然很棒，并非轻视对美国GDP贡献超大的娱乐业，只是这样硬朗精品的台词放到一个娱乐节目的制作团队中远没有在白宫这样政治经济中心来的火花四溅。感情线也是，白宫中，繁忙的政治生活背景下，一帮智商超高精力充沛的工作狂们之间的温情脉脉让人感动，也是剧情发展的重要动力，而日落里太多的感情料显然是刻意为之，很是无聊，让人只想吼一句，you are in the studio, just do your fucking job ! 由此导致女演员分外的讨厌，Harriet简直就是神经，jordan也毫无光彩就是个花瓶。编剧怎么了？
　　写影评的好多事传媒业内人士，颇有惺惺相惜之感，我还是对这个背景不感兴趣，30ROCK也觉得没意思，还是好好琢磨west wing吧。

有Aaron Sorkin的编剧，就足以吊足胃口。再加上the west wing中的Josh和Friends里的Chandler那就更值得期待了。虽然只出了pilot，但是2个人的对手戏已经让我觉得这是一部今后Amy奖常客的剧集。特别赞一把Matthew，表演完全没有Chandler的影子，非常出色！！

当然，人物才刚刚出场，只有一个铺垫，以后会渐渐展开，期待~~

开始看这部片子是因为看了两集还是不知道它在讲什么。有中文字幕的，还是看不懂。不过节奏不错。大概是因为太好奇所以又下了一集。看过之后我开始怀疑它是在讲述某些好笑的事情。于是又下了一集，好像的确有点好笑。那就再下一集。所以它就变成我的晚饭档电视剧啦。现在看到第11集了，开始觉得的确很好看。是新颖的题材吧。

In 2006, after 3 years of absence, Aaron Sorkin came back to NBC with his new show, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, a show about behind-secene stories of a fictional late-night sketch comedy show that airs on a fictional televion network, NBS(National Broadcasting System). Simply put, basically it is a duplicate of the SNL in another parallel universe. Designed to be "cutting-edge", the show rests itself upon long and quick conversations on ideological conflicts, religious beliefs, gay rights, and other big issues alike. Clearly enough, Aaron Sorkin was hoping to make a Hollywood version of The West Wing.

In one of the early episode, a journalist of Vanity Fair gets a full access to the show so as to write a special column about it. When Matt Albie, the head writer and executive producer, played by Matthew Perry, asks her during one of the many conversations why a journalist as prominent and political as she is, who had covered presidential campaigns, would want to write stories of a televison show, she responds, "I'm writing about it because what's happening here is important. I'm writing about it because I think popular culture in general and this show in particular are important." To be sure, this is not her talking. This is Aaron Sokin himself talking.

One season later, in sharp contrast with the huge anticipation before and the intense bid between networks for the pilot, the show was cut because of poor performance in ratings. The viewer numbers dropped their way down until the end, and the critics, largely comdians, were nothing but disdainful, accusing it of being unrealisitic and exaggerating television shows and its people's intellegence and infuence on American viewers.

Meanwhile, another show, also based on stories behind a fictional sketch comedy show, won more than one man can hold with both arms at the Emmy, except it is a comedy instead of drama. It is, of course, 30 Rock. It is not smug, nor condescending, nor trying to convey big, remote, complicated ideas to ordinary American people who sit in their couch after a long day merely looking for something funny to watch. It is simply made to be funny. It is the opposite of Studio 60. And It worked.

It must have been a big slap for Aaron Sorkin.

Then, two years later, came the 2008 presidential campaign. We all know the result as we can draw thousands of conclusions. But, notably, one of the most significant one of which is inarguably the former Alaska's governor, Sarah Palin. To be fair, however, the female role model governor's debut did not appear as devastating for Mccain's presidency as it later turned out to be, if anything, it surely has much to do with Tina Fey's merciless impersonation of her on the SNL, a late-night sketch comedy show that is real.

- Could somebody add some extra drama and irony, please?
- Tina Fey being the creator and leading actress of 30 Rock.

Yeah, that'll do it.

这部show在最高潮的地方，嘎然而止，然后活人就被尿给憋疯了.

我想起了以前听的一则笑话：话说古代有一名太监...然后下面就没了.也许老美对这个倒没什么意见,但对于中国的电视剧观看者,似乎残忍了点,相对于一周看完一部长篇电视剧的我来说,一周一集的等待似乎已经很煎熬了,更何况还是没有结局的电视剧.如果说我对Studio 60的剧情演员有着充分地喜爱的话,那么这样结局就让我有点抓狂和歇斯底里了.(优酷需要付上大部分责任,全集22,但只有21以前的集数)

Matthew Perry和Bradley Whitford (目前还没看过白宫风云,但一直准备看来着， 只是懒得一集一季的等而已,现在则更有了些许期待)的搭档很精彩.同患难,共生死,是兄弟的真髓;性格上的互补,则更是精彩.Matthew Perry延续着<friends>以来幽默,对爱忠贞又带点懦弱的形象,剧集里关于棒球棍事件、竞拍事件还有一开始的分手事件，都让人印象深刻；Bradley Whitford，能让眼镜自动地滑落，的确有点不一样，耍计谋改正matt的恐惧、求爱介绍信、屋顶上的再次告白，都给人留下印象。

角色让这个戏生动，演员则让这些角色的形象更加丰满。

戏里两位女主角也不让须眉，Amanda Peet和Sarah Poulson，对事业的强硬、对爱情的婉约，2配2的效果远远超过了预期。

这是一部能看好几遍的电视，就如<friends>一样,虽然仅仅只有短短的22集...

这部电视剧充满了Aaron Sorkin式的诙谐、智慧，演员阵容也没得挑。

这次的背景是好莱坞传播巨头，一个讥讽时政、在艺术和商业之间挣扎的节目，每期都会有妙语连珠的“金句”和争议性的话题。每集的音乐嘉宾也很值得期待。

另外感情戏也很有趣：

Matt是信奉自由主义、无神论的东北犹太佬，他刚分手的女朋友Harriet是南方保守的浸礼会教徒，她相信Matt会下地狱烈火焚身。

Matt不愿意回到Studio 60，Harriet是那个节目的主角，如果去了他会忍不住当众……杀了她。

他说自己已经不爱她了：她相信世界是6天中造出来的，不过这不是我们分手的首要原因。两个人不合适还需要多少证据呢？但我看到她在台上……我仰慕她的才华，这女人有成千上万的粉丝，但只有我知道她到底有多棒，就这么回事，我仰慕她，我仰慕她的才华。她能逗我笑，我也喜欢逗她笑，虽然让她笑不容易，但很值得。她很性感，我喜欢她冲我笑还有她的小动作，但仅此而已。
Danny：老天，我们完蛋了。
Matt：我知道。

Harriet给他的见面礼是个大耳光，幸好Matt先服了止痛药。为了赔礼道歉，她送了根明星签名的棒球棍。
Matt火大了：他在上面签了自己的电话号码？你没看见吗？
Harriet：这是他的电话号码？
Matt：那你以为是什么？
Harriet：我以为是他的球衣号，嗯，他们签名的时候都写的。
Matt：对，你认为他的球衣号是十位数的，是三十一亿六百七十八万六千五百……他在钓你！
Harriet：如果我想让你吃醋的话，也用不着这招。
Matt：我是吃醋了！

这时Tom建议他去找一个脱衣舞娘，问她要只靴子并在上面写上她的三围。
Tom：你拿到靴子了吗？
Matt：我把靴子还回去了，连我的自尊一起。
Tom: (很不屑地) 我和女朋友分手的时候就已经放弃自尊了。
Matt：你出主意的时候怎么不提这一点？

……

这只是前几集，已经很值得期待。
