Art imitating life?
Though Sorkin has gone to the same well multiple times over the years (West Wing had an episode ending in same HMS Pinafore song…with original lyrics), Studio 60 isn’t all bad. Seems to me the relationship between Matt and Harriet is parallel to Sorkin’s relationship with Kristin Chenoweth. She too is Christian, has released an album of spiritual songs, and is an actress (she was on West Wing, Broadway’s Wicked, etc) and oh yeah, they dated. He obviously has no problem writing about Danny having a cocaine problem, or Matt being a writer…or even having to acquiesce to a writing staff or network executive. Seems to have a problem making his (ex)girlfriend seem funny, which may have been the case on West Wing as well.

Aw, Heather....
I owe you a "thank you" for pointing me to Project Runway but I cannot let your harsh words about Boston Legal pass without a protest.
Boston Legal is the high point of my TV week, the one time I know that I will laugh. I suspect, too, that you haven't been watching very much this season, because you seem to be a bit behind the times on the details (I've only heard the "Denny Crane" line once this season, for instance.)
I love the way Kelly shatters the fourth wall, the madcap quality of the comedy, the camp, and the send-up of oiliness and masculine folly. I like it so much I hadn't bothered to check out "Shark."
Again, thanks for the good watching tips -- as for your opinion of my favorite show, de gustibus non disputandum est. (Ain't no accounting for tastes.)
