If you own a television you probably know the name Aaron Sorkin. In honor of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip being released this week on DVD we thought we’d take the opportunity to showcase one of the tube’s best writers. Over the week, while bringing you our weekly dose of media madness, we’ll examine all three of his shows (Studio 60, The West Wing, and Sports Night), share some clips and laughs, look at the man’s forray into film and much more. Enjoy!
Thanks for joining us for our crazy week! Check inside for all the links!
