The dog ate my recaps

by Terri

DogWondering what ever happened to that promised recap, memorable lines, and five questions for “K&R Part I” that were promised last week? Me, too — although really, what I’m wondering is what happened to the week? Let’s just say that the blog posts about “K&R” were kidnaped by a hectic schedule and competing obligations, and that I will be rescuing them this week, beginning with the recap tomorrow, really, I promise.

So we’re taking a little break tonight from our Monday marathon. What do you want to watch instead?

An episode of another Sorkin creation that’s been on my mind lately is “The Short List,” from the first season of The West Wing. I’ve been thinking about it since I heard the news that actor Ken Howard, who played ill-fated Supreme Court nominee Peyton Cabot Harrison III, is going to be guesting on ABC’s Brothers & Sisters, where he will be playing a presidential candidate who, according to spoilers, makes an offer to a senator and failed presidential candidate played by Rob Lowe (possibly a vice-presidential spot).

That made my mind flash back to “The Short List,” and the way Sam Seaborn derailed Harrison’s court bid, earning the judge’s disdain. I don’t know if there will be any sly references to that episode in the B&S scenes between Howard and Lowe, but I want to watch “The Short List” again so I’ll be able to make some up if need be.

Watch it with me again, won’t you?

About Watching Studio60

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was a show about making a show -- a Friday night sketch comedy living and dying by the ratings and the buzz and the bottom line. It also turned out to be about the ways that overinflated expectations and caustic criticism can doom a TV drama. Still, if you're a fan of great acting and Aaron Sorkin's way with dialog, there's a lot to love in Studio 60's sole season. Read here to look back at the show, and look forward at what the cast and creative powers are doing now.
