Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip covers the goings on of the writing and management for an imaginary legendary satirical sketch show that resembles SNL. The pilot episode introduces us to Studio 60 right as it's head writer decides he has had enough. He stops the live show to deliver a scathing monologue against the lack of tenacity of the show's network, the fictional National Broadcasting System (NBS), after they cancel a highly sophisticated sketch which might offend a significant bunch of people. The show presents an exceeding intelligent and insightful statement about being politically correct and the television business in general. The once powerful blade of satire becomes dulled when the walls of complacency and the motive to stay within the lines begin to overpower it.The show's pilot is uniquely edgy, ferociously intelligent, and the A class acting shines. If you enjoy 30 Rock's unique satirical look into the television industry but are looking for more intellectual substance over it's excellent sense of humor, you'll surely enjoy this show. Though at some points during it's pilot it seems as if the direction it moves might be out of the scope of interest, by the end the purpose and direction is clear, and the plot compels you to watch more. I for one will be enjoying catching up with this excellent television satire.

lol. Lots of great moments in this series, and particularly the pilot. Bada** when Three Six Mafia kick in too.

This was a fantastic show..I'm tired of the idiots making the decisions..

This show was amazing and intelligent and apparently too smart for the morons. It was so amazingly funny that I couldn't stop laughing every episode and it was so very very smart like everything Aaron Sorkin does. Sports Night anyone? Why does no one appreciate him.
