The scenes with Eli Wallach are what I think of when I think of this show.

Taylor

I can’t remember, have you guys watched The Holiday? It was pretty much the same time as this episode, and Eli Wallach is in that also. I know he’s more famous for his other roles, but I absolutely love his performances here and in The Holiday. His acting never suffered with age. He was always great.

Jonathan Eaton

I remember the night 30 Rock first aired. It was about a month after Studio 60 started. in the middle of the show I turned to my sons and said OH NO! Studio 60 is going to be cancelled. It's going to be just like the show keeps saying, that shows like Studio 60 can't compete with shows like 30 Rock.

Jonathan

I remember very little of the series after the pilot maybe only a couple plot lines but the Eli Wallach story always stuck with me. He got nominated for an Emmy for this.

Michael Bennett

I felt like the middle of the show was very heavy handed, but they stuck the landing nicely on all the storylines. It was nice to have an episode mostly not about Matt and Danny. I'm also very glad that the baseball player is history. I don't know what Cal's problem was, if you were Superman, wouldn't you have a Dome of Pleasure?

I've been waiting for you guys to get to this episode. It hits so differently from the rest of the show so far giving us major insights into both Simon and Tom and their back stories. I actually always found the tour that Tom takes his parents on, giving the Vaudeville/burlesque to radio to tv history of the theatre the studio is in really interesting and juxtaposed beautifully with the story of Eli Wallach's character and his time there. Not a lot of people watching this show may even have been aware of the blacklist and the witchhunts in Hollywood by J Edgar Hoover for supposed communists and how it ended so many careers at that time. So I always thought it was a really nice nod from Aaron Sorkin to those people and a really affecting storyline that has stuck with me within the whole series since originally watching it. Tom's story with his father breaks my heart and finding out where Simon came up and how he is trying to lift up and out others from that community really gave his character a depth we hadn't seen before.

Also a side note on Lauren Graham. She and Matthew Perry were very close friends and had been for several years before she appeared on Studio 60. And she joked in her book and interviews they had ‘almost but not quite dated’ so his character hitting on her was probably a nod to rumours that they dated irl. Always loved him calling Gilmore’s ‘Calico Girls’ 😉

I think Matt was trying to be funny when he said that about Alexis Bledel to Lauren Graham? Not super successfully. Alexis would have been about 26 at this point, so probably older than the girls Danny was trying to foist on him, but still icky and especially gross to ask Lauren. Again, I hope it was a joke that fell flat. (Also the bit with Danny calling Lauren a "hot buttered biscuit". What the hell?) The Eli Wallach stuff was good, but it was a long windup to get to something close to what I guessed the minute his character showed up. And the whole thing with the Black comics in the nightclub felt really schematic. The writing of the Black comic who declares he isn't like the rest, the guy that they hired, wasn't so great, was it? It was a bit like this week's version of the supposedly funny sketches. I hope Sorkin did at least consult with a Black writer on it, maybe Hughley himself - if not it's very badly ironic, given what Simon's point was supposed to be.

A little tidbit I remember about the episode when it aired: Those three girls that Matt has to show around were Deal or No Deal suitcase girls at the time. I guess it was a sort of cross-promotion.

Hooper

I'm enjoying this show a lot more in 2026 than I did in 2006. It's really interesting sometimes to watch something outside of the context in which it was originally released. The show had so much anticipation and expectation around it, and then critics turned on it, so there was just a general feeling at the time that it was a disappointment. So it was hard to watch it without having the mindset that it was disappointing. But watching it now, expecting it to be a disappointment, it's been a pleasant surprise. There's still a little of the Sorkin straw-man thing that doesn't really work, feels slightly condescending. A 50 or 60 year old guy in 2006 has heard of Who's On First, no matter if he lives in a huge city or a small town. But even that plotline was a lot better than I remembered it being.

Dunno why all the hate on the sketches. Still don't get the 30 Rock love either. Anyway, another great episode. Think my fave part was the old comic writer. The introduction to Darius.

I don't like the ego they're giving to Simon's character in this episode. When he was talking to the new guy they hired he says "don't even think about letting me down". What i heard in his tone was, i'm a big deal and you're not. I agree with the sentiment they were going for, but the language was harsher than it needed to be. There was a nicer way to say that and given the personal history they revealed for him, you'd think he'd recognize a softer tone is required. I think he still has some growing to do, maybe that's what Sorkin was trying to convey, because if not , given Sorkin's precision with his words, he kind of messed that one up

It’s funny, but I never paid a lot of attention the sketches on the show. It wasn’t until later that I realized this was an issue for a lot of viewers/critics, and maybe, the way they didn’t land took some people out of the moment. Studio 60, like Sorkin’s other shows, was always a process show to me. So with something like “Science, Schmience”, it didn’t matter if one of Jeannie’s lines didn’t hit. The scene was showing the rehearsal process, talking about graphics, making a note to use a college that had “Bible” in the title, talking through rewrites, etc. And, of course, giving a moment for Harriet to bewitch Matt as Holly Hunter and knock him off-balance with his process. As long as the sketches were a facsimile of comedy, that was all that mattered to me. Sorkin always saved the better humor for “off-camera” while sketches drove plots and character dynamics forward.

Gail Hislop

Yeh I remember seeing her talking about how close they were in an interview a few years ago before he passed and how special their friendship was . Also I meant to tell you guys that Amanda Peet and Sarah Paulson have been friends since 1999 when they started together in a tv drama called Jack and Jill that only ran 2 seasons. So I got a kick out of seeing Jordan trying to make friends with Harriet this episode knowing they are good mates.

Corthos Entertainment

I remember watching this when it aired. I had forgotten how impactful at that time the war in Afghanistan had been to all of us. A little bit of distance, and that moment when the dad yells "your little brother is standing in Afghanistan" hits far less today than it did back then. Emotions were heightened ... the whole world seemed to grow darker overnight. It's just interesting to me to see how a little bit of distance (for me) really lessons the impact of somethings, while other moments still hit hard (the whole blacklist thing being VERY relevant in today's world)

Hooper

I think the reason the sketches being bad bothers me is that one of the major ideas of the show is that Matt is a genius writer who will save the show (and possibly the nation) through the power of satire. But when we see that the sketches in the show are garbage, it kind of deflates the idea that he's as talented as the show wants you to believe, or that the stakes are as high as you've been told. And when everyone else compliments him on how funny the show is, it calls into question their credibility too. You can make a comparison to The West Wing. You've got characters there who are professional writers, and they talk a lot about the power of words, and the importance of what they do, but in that case when you see what it is they've been writing it turns out it was actually pretty great. Gives the characters and the world credibility. If Toby was writing speeches as badly as Matt writes sketches, it would be awfully hard to take him seriously.

Ashley Thomas

this is a good episode. i love the storyline of the older man who was a writer there. and jordan is sooo awkward. the stand up thing was interesting too. the thing with toms parents was hard to watch. he was being kinda condescending but i think it came from a lifetime of that dynamic of his dad disapproving and neither of his parents caring enough about what he does or what he cares about to learn anything about it. his dad clearly thinks what he does is worthless and that he should be at war instead. i hope they like the record he gave them. it really would be better as a visual though haha.

Ashley Thomas

thats how i always looked at them too.

The “hot women too stupid to live” are a not very funny.
