I am coming to the conclusion that Studio 60 will only be fully appreciated by those familiar with the life and work of Aaron Sorkin and able to recognise exactly how meta it is.
It's not just less funny than TWW, it's less intense. TWW scripts may have been 40 pages longer than the average to accomodate all the extra dialogue, but I don't think that's the case here. It also feels less like a Sorkin fantasyland than either of his previous shows, despite the fact that, as truecatachresis pointed out last night, it's patently absurd for everyone to love their job.
I too am waiting for the characters to settle down, but I think that's as much down to the writing as acting -- "Holy hell" and similar seemed a bit out of place
