One of the Best series ever.Without question Studio 60 is one of the smartest and most hilarious shows I have been fortunate enough to watch. I’m not as huge a fan of Sorkin’s work as some people are, but this is a show that hit the mark, and its sad it never received a 2nd season or more. I hope iTunes may ONE DAY give us an HD version to purchase. The show was broadcast in HD and for the life of me I can’t figure out why in 2014 we still have no HD version on here. Lets get on that, I would be forever grateful!.Score: 5/5

BEST SHOW EVERI can't BELIEVE they discontinued this show!!!! I've watched a lot of good tv, being sick for the last 5 years, and this is by far the best show ever made. I wish they'd either revive it or make something with a similar feel, similar cast, etc. It was the perfect balance between drama and comedy, and had exceptional acting, writing, pace, artistic direction, and everything else. I got so addicted and there was only 1 season to watch! I'm so bummed!!!!!.Score: 5/5

I love the way it sweeps you up and keeps you wanting to watch just one more episode!I cant beleive I just found out about this show!!!!! It is smart, witty, the right mix of drama and comedy. I love the long story arks. I love the way it sweeps you up and keeps you wanting to watch just one more episode! Of course I found it here, after it's death knell. SO not FAIR!!! Maybe the dvd sales & iTunes Downloads (of which I am one!) and reveiws on sites like this, along with the holes provided by the writers strike will make this show possible on another network, or make the original rethink the cancel... I mean we are less than a year from its last airing... is that really too late??? This time they need to advertise it right, and show people what it is really about, and FORGET ABOUT PUTTING ON REALITY SHOWS!!!!! this has more to do with reality than any show bearing that description!!! If the networks were more like NBS there would be ALOT better tv on the landscape..Score: 5/5

Cant wait any longer!!!Does anyone know if there will be a next season?!?!I look it up like evey day hoping itunes will have the second season and so far nothing.....Anyways, if anyone knows anything pls let me know!!!Thanks!!!.Score: 5/5

Great show, poor compression. HD please….Great show, poor compression. HD please…..Score: 1/5

How Sad This Show Was Not Renewed!After downloading and viewing the entire 1st season and watching it a second time, I am once again amazed that this wonderfully written show was not renewed for a second season. The characters were fully developed and felt like personal friends. The writing was witty, funny and so darn tight! What a shame viewers are missing a Sorkin Masterpiece..Score: 5/5

You HAVE to watch this show!!!I know it has been gone for over a year now but this is by far the BEST show on TV. All of the lines are pristine and hilarious. I have a great deal of respect for Aaron Sorkin because he writes such intelligent, funny, and thought provoking scripts. Studio 60 confronted a lot of political, religious, and social dichotomies without being afraid of what the audience might think. Damn you NBC for canceling this show and replacing it with unintelligent, outlandish, and tasteless shows!! If you don't buy the whole season, which you should, at least buy the Pilot, Nevada Day part 1 and 2, The Christmas Show, The Disaster Show, and K & R parts 1, 2, and 3, and What Kind of Day Has It Been..Score: 5/5

This is one of those gems...That really should have been given a green light for a 2nd season right after Episode 2. Each episode is a brilliant combination of words coupled with actors and how they are a beautiful melody when the chemistry is so right. If you want to really see the 'hook'? Download Episode 2 - The Cold Open. This was the one that won me. I was hooked, but with this one? It sold me and I was not disappointed. I watch this more often than I care to admit to. And I never tire..Score: 5/5

THE VERY BEST THING (no longer) ON TELEVISIONI only had limited expectations for this show. I saw actors who had been important parts of previous casts. I didn't think it would be possible for all of them to get beyond their past roles. The writing was crisp, interesting, natural and explosive. I found myself cheering for every character. No one dimensional characters in the entire cast. I could understand them as individuals. It seemed that all points of view were given respect. The plots, while based in Hollywood culture, reflected the topics that most shows don't dare discuss. The story line was filled with war, racism, religious debate, drug addiction, sexism and plenty else. Bravo to the men and women responsible for this show. Shame to those who cancelled it..Score: 5/5

Another Great TV Show Gone....When I first saw the show I instantly fell in love with it. It was witty, had good writing, and an all-star cast. I was deeply upset when I knew that they were going to be cancelled. After episode 16 I was constantly checking to see if they were going to air the rest of the episodes or not. I know that NBC is removing all the downloads from iTunes in November. The DVD set for Season One comes out on October 16th. NOTE: (NBC pays attention to TV DVD sales. So if you really want to show them they made a mistake then buy the DVD set and get your friends hooked.).Score: 5/5

Brilliant!Studio 60 is probably one of the best television series I have watched. Sorkin manages to seamlessly combine witty reparte and sparkling humour with moments that - for want of a better phrase - really make you think. Fans of Aaron Sorkin's work will know to expect the best from him, and Studio 60 certainly does not disappoint. Overall a brilliant series and highly recommended..Score: 5/5

Best showSeriously one of the funniest, smartest, coolest programs I have ever seen. It's a crying shame that it was cancelled, losing against... something... I cant remember what it was called. and even if I could I wouldnt advertise it. So, yeah seriously its incredible, intelligent and it's hysterical. watch it..Score: 5/5

Brilliant!Excellent show, shame there will be no second series! A travesty similar to firefly in the way that such a great show surely deserves a second series! Oh well.... maybe one day?? Please??.Score: 5/5

An amazing show , the total packageWhy have they not made a season 2 its one of the best thing iv ever watched an iv watched it twice through now!!!!! buy it.Score: 5/5

Fab show!!!Following the lives of the cast and crew of a US Friday night comedy show, Studio 60 is one of the best things Aaron Sorkin has ever written!!!!!!! Funny, smart, fast-paced and with totally lovable characters, this is a brilliant show that I'd recommend to anyone. Such a shame that it was cancelled after season 1 :(.Score: 5/5

Stonkin' show!!Why did they not continue with this show!! It's brilliant, Matt Perry and Bradley Whitford in one show by the west wing team!! Fantastic!! Witty, smart, endearing and original - the powers that be allow so much crap into TV circulation and then let a great show get dropped!! Criminal!!.Score: 5/5

Best programme since friendsI love Itunes just for making this amazing programme available for my Ipod..Score: 5/5

Such a ShameHate to sound like an echo but i have to agree what a great show having never watched the West Wing, i was curious to see what Chandler aka Matthew Perry had to offer, and wow how he delivered retaining the wit from friends but including a great elemant of seriousness made for a fantastic watchable performance. Throughly enjoyable and credit too the writers for not being scared to write how they felt about the state of affairs in the world. If the BIG boring BODS at WB are reading how about investing in the show again and proving too us that you do see quality when you see it. Real shame on 1 season but you never know, I highly recommend that everyone should giev this show a chance and trust me you will enjoy..Score: 5/5

FantasticThe best show ever to be cancelled! Also if you are a west wing fan then you will love this series!.Score: 5/5

Well done i tunes!!!I was so suprised to see this on the UK itunes!!! I have all the eps on DVD but I am a fan of the show so I'll probably buy an episode to go on my new i pod classic!!!.Score: 5/5
