    I agree that Studio 60 is head and shoulders above 30 Rock. Although the “let’s walk very quickly down a hallway while discussing something reasonably important and making some tongue-in-cheek comments” can get a little tiring at times, the dialogue — in general — is absolutely amazing in this show. By comparison, 30 Rock isn’t all that funny, even though it is a distinct comedy, whereas Studio 60 is more of a drama with some subtle humor thrown in. Fans of Studio 60 should also check out Sports Night, also by Aaron Sorkin. It was a short lived show depicting a behind the scenes look at a nightly sportscast a la ESPN Sportscenter. Available on DVD.
