Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip

Synopsis

Emmy(R) Award-winning writer/producer Aaron Sorkin ("The West Wing," "A Few Good Men") tackles the contentious, rarely seen world of network television, along with acclaimed director/producer Thomas Schlamme ("The West Wing," "Invasion") and a phenomenal ensemble cast. When the beleaguered executive producer of a long-running late-night sketch-comedy series interrupts the live broadcast and has a "Network" moment on the air, the industry, the media and the viewers are galvanized. Into this melee steps shrewd and self-confident network entertainment chief Jordan McDeere, who squares off against the chairman and rehires a brilliant but unpredictable writer/producer team--which had left the show years ago under a cloud of controversy--to bring it back from the brink. This provocative, highly anticipated comedic drama literally goes behind the scenes to expose the politics, personalities and pandemonium of producing a flagship series on a major television network.
