Behind TV

This makes me feel a lot differently about the show FRIENDS. I watched it coz it was timepass, passive, funny, relaxing... Read the excerpts from the woman's deposition on Pages 2 - 8. I agree some of them are repetitive and she is angling at making a lot of money off of the lawsuit and all that BUT: You gotta love that the court thinks all of this to be a necessary part of generating comedy. :)

This is the website for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and the show is the reason I found out about that Friends lawsuit. On that website, you can watch a run of the latest episode of Studio 60. If you don't watch the show, you still will like the episode, its from Aaron Sorkin, creator of that fantastic show: The West Wing. Studio 60 has a fantastic cast, the first couple of episodes were especially good. Overall the show still is among the best things I've seen on TV but I'm one of those Sorkin loyalists who has to overlook the faults in other episodes simply because he wants the show to succeed SO BAD. Anyway, the writing has caught up with the show and the last 4 episodes were all top notch so go ahead and watch this latest episode to see how Sorkin deals with that Friends subplot on his own show and remember: Matt Perry worked on Friends so...

Going to see M.A.S.H today, Altman remembered.
