**jlrepka** is that the site that matches up similar things (lines, character names, even actors) between _The West Wing_ and \* Sports Night\*? ---

[QUOTE=Sean Factotum] **jlrepka** is that the site that matches up similar things (lines, character names, even actors) between _The West Wing_ and \* Sports Night\*? [/QUOTE] No that’s [here](http://westwing.bewarne.com/overlaps/default.html) I found something to be put in there once, but they never did it. I hope someone adds Studio60 to these lists. (Or maybe we should start a thread here.) ---

OK, finally got to see it. I know I’m a weak member of these threads both because I watch the shows over the weekend and well, I just don’t care as much as many of you do. I enjoyed it. Others expressed concern that Matthew Perry would not do well in his role, but I have been wondering if I would see Steven Weber in the role he is in, and I have to say that he is pulling it off. I don’t dislike Amanda Peet either. In fact, so far I pretty much just enjoy the show. ---

[QUOTE=Exapno Mapcase] No, she’s saying that she’s unhappy that Studio 60 in set in our real world rather than in the fictional world of “The West Wing,” and that it would have been fun to have crossovers from that program… [/QUOTE] That’s right. And BTW, I’m a dude. ---

[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] Personally, I think it would be amusing for sounds of protest to come from devout fans of the _Peripheral Vision Man_ sketches, showing that while Matt’n’Josh are allegedly hip and edgy and sharp, they don’t have perfect insight into what an audience will find funny. [/QUOTE] Sonofagun. Here’s the capsule review of tonight’s show from my local newspaper. _Matt and Danny’s first show was great, wasn’t it? Well, that’s not what a focus group says._ ---
