Rest of the show? Loved it.
Also not sure about the ending - a little too vague for tv. Is it trying to be philosophical? Matt all alone amidst the revelry and fun? Matt the insider's outsider? But even that couldn't ruin the show for me. Love it. Hope it lasts and lasts.

She looked familiar.

Having said this, I LOVE this show. I'm tired of obvious jokes, i enjoy this show because you have to use your mind and a reference of everything they poke fun at to understand. Intelligent humor, i call it. Perry is nothing like Chandler in this. While the situation comedy and his knack for comeback jokes is still there, the whole persona of Matt Albie is totally different and i think Matt was a perfect cast for this part. Bradley Whitford was an a**hole in the movie i referenced, which says he's a good actor if you hate him in that role. I don't know what he was like on West Wing but i do know that, to me, he is the perfect fit for Matt. They pull off each other in ways that only true friends of that nature could. Cal? Don't know much about the actor, but he fits the temperment of what i would see in his part. Harry, Simon and Tom, there could have been a few different people in those roles. I could have seen Matthew Lillard as Tom for example. But good interaction. Amanda Peet is HOT!!!! and she's a good actress. I thought her delivery of her lines and the personality that she brings out in this role was absolutely great. Makes me want to act that way. Jack, i don't know anything about the actor, but he must be good because Jack is a jerk.

Don't let this one die. I've seen a lot of the new drama's coming out and i'm tired of all the medical, criminal, lawyer shows out there. THIS ONE'S GOING TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless Jordan is a Rupert Murdoch-type, I can't imagine that anyone outside LA and the biz would care about a DUI in the past. If she was a 'star', yes; a 'suit', not really. And rising on the 'suit' scale to network President? Uh, surely the brass hiring her would have known about it before she was hired. That's the nature of the business she's in, and it's a given that any skeletons you have dangling would have been silenced by a very good team of lawyers and publicists. Seems to be a contrived way to bring up the ex-husband and problems he'll create during the season.

I also don't quite understand her interest in the show and having such an active role in the show. That's only one fire amongst many that she's battling. Can't imagine that most network Presidents hang around the studios.

The two hack writers? Contracts have been easily broken.

A little uncomfortable with Sorkin's heavy-handedness. More telling than showing. Yes, we get the reference to doing the show all by yourself. And the Sondheim reference.

xed

And then the next day Liz Smith or one of those has a story about how he's dad of the year....and then People and Star have pictures of him with his kids and the pet monkey.

By the way - I did miss that Sondheim remark - could you please repeat it?

Does anyone know who sang the song on last night's show- Will you still love me tomorrow?
Thanks

I believe the Jordan character is based on Jane Tarses.

This is quintessential Sorkin and thanks to that, allows Webber to start sinking his teeth into a role against his normal type. After only - what - three episodes? This is getting better, and I hope doesn't fizzle out.
