Ever just love a show, and then start to love another show and some of the same people are on it? That’s cool isn’t it? Well I was noticing that some of my favorite shows seem to have the same casts or writers or something. It all started with SportsNight – which I absolutely loved.
Now this is not an ESPN type show, but a behind the scenes comedy about an ESPN type show. In fact, you needed to know nothing about sports to really love this show. Well it was taken off the air because I was apparently the only one who loved it.
Shortly after that was The West Wing, which was written by the same guy, starred some of the same characters and as time went on, more of them even guest appeared on the show.
Then that went off the air and I started with Studio 60 which was again brilliant. That was the Saturday Night Live type drama that starred Matthew Perry from Friends (another of my favorites). Well that was written by Aaron Sorkin, too.
Then I wondered, was Aaron Sorkin the writer of Chicago Hope? Actually no he wasn’t but Jayne Brook from the West Wing was on it. Then what about A Few Good Men, one of my favorite movies – just so happens Aaron Sorkin wrote the story and the script. (and he wrote Shindler’s List)
I found absolutely no links from Avalon (1999 movie) or Tour of Duty (1987 TV show). Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
