Studio 60, previously known as Studio 7 on the Sunset Strip during its development stage (and likely renamed because of Studio 7, a game show which aired on The WB in 2004), was already the subject of much discussion before its first episode had aired. NBC and CBS had staged an intense bidding war for the rights to the show in October 2005, with NBC agreeing to a "near-record license fee" in order to obtain the rights.^[9] It was the show most anticipated by media buyers prior to the network upfront presentations, according to MediaLife.^[10] Among the online public the show was also highly anticipated, receiving the most online "mentions" and the most positive sentiment of any new 2006 show.^[11] The positive reception extended to television critics, who named it their "Best Overall New Program" in a poll conducted by Broadcasting and Cable,^[12] based on the pilot episode.

As is typical for Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme, the crew contains a number of people linked to their previous shows (Sports Night and The West Wing). Bradley Whitford, Timothy Busfield, Evan Handler and Matthew Perry all have a history with The West Wing. Busfield directed two episodes of Sports Night as well. The show's first guest host (appearing as herself) is Felicity Huffman, who starred in Sports Night and did a guest spot on The West Wing. This article is about the American television series. ...

Felicity Huffman (born December 9, 1962) is an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning American film and television actress. ...

Sorkin draws from his own experience as a writer in creating the characters. In "The Focus Group", Ron mentions, "Nobody can write 90 minutes of television every week by themselves. They'd be dead by the sixth show." Sorkin is known for having singlehandedly written a majority of the episodes during the first four seasons of The West Wing.

The show also uses the now familiar "Walk and Talks" (also called "pedeconferencing" in fan circles) used so frequently in both previous shows as well. This article or section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. ...

The Harriet/Matt relationship is based on Sorkin's relationship with Kristin Chenoweth, who played Annabeth Schott on The West Wing.^[25] In Studio 60's pilot, one of the reasons that Matt and Harriet broke up was Harriet's decision to appear on The 700 Club to support her Christian music album. In 2005, Chenoweth made a similar appearance on The 700 Club, sparking a negative reaction from some of her gay fans because of the views of 700 Club host Pat Robertson.^[26] Unlike Matt and Harriet, Sorkin and Chenoweth did not work together on The West Wing. Sorkin left after The West Wing's fourth season and Chenoweth joined the cast during season six. Aaron Benjamin Sorkin (born June 9, 1961) is an American screenwriter, producer and playwright. ...

The conflict between NBS and the Federal Communications Commission regarding uncensored language of American soldiers in the Middle East parallels the decision by a small number of PBS affiliates to air the documentary "Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience" in full, despite potentially hefty FCC fines for unedited obscenities used by American soldiers describing their experiences in Iraq.^[28]

References to other Sorkin works

A "Bartlet for America" poster covers the wall on the left side of this shot.

• In the pilot episode, it's stated that prior to his relapse, Danny Tripp had been sober for 11 years. In episode 2 of Sports Night, Dan Rydell claims to have smoked his last joint 11 years ago.
• In Matt's Office, there is a Pirates of Penzance poster. It is similar to a poster given to Ainsley Hayes in the West Wing episode, "And It's Surely to Their Credit." In Matt and Danny's first show they also use a song from "Pirates": "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" becomes "We are the Very Model of a Modern Network TV Show."
• In "The Cold Open", when Danny and Matt are talking near the start of the episode, Danny says "I made a decision for you. You'll find I'll be making a lot of them." This is very similar to something Leo McGarry says to Josiah Bartlet on The West Wing, near the start of the campaign.
• In "The Cold Open", Danny tells the show's current writers, "This isn't TV camp. It's not important to us that everybody gets to play." In Season 2, Episode 12 of The West Wing ("The Drop-In"), Toby says, "This isn't government camp. It's not like… it's not important that everybody gets to play." The line "This isn't TV camp" is also spoken by the character Sam Donovan in season 2 episode 4 of Sports Night, "Louise Revisited."
• In "The Option Period", when Tom and Simon are talking to Harriet in the cast dressing room (about halfway into the episode), a "Bartlet For America" poster can be seen on the wall.
• "Removing All Doubt" is the name of the fictional film by Matt and Danny, as well as the title of Sorkin's first play.
• In "4AM Miracle," Matt encourages his assistant Suzanne to go home. She replies, "I leave when you leave." This is a verbatim copy of a conversation Leo McGarry had with his assistant (Margaret) on The West Wing.
• The law firm Gage Whitney Pace is referred to in "4AM Miracle" as well as the "K&R" series of episodes. Corporate attorney Mary Tate works for this firm. On The West Wing, before working for Jed Bartlet, Sam Seaborn worked at a similarly named law firm, as evidenced by flashbacks in the West Wing's second season premiere.
• In "The Friday Night Slaughter," when Danny and Jordan list the troubles Jordan has had with her office, Danny says, "the ceiling is falling down," (though the ceiling doesn't appear to have fallen in Jordan's office). In The West Wing, the ceiling collapsed on Bradley Whitford's character Josh Lyman's desk.
• In the end credits, Sorkin's production company, "Shoe Money" appears. This references an episode of Sports Night in which Dana plays poker for "shoe money."
• In the episode "4AM Miracle," the single celled paramecium is talked about. It is also mentioned in The West Wing episode College Kids.
• The West Wing evidently exists in the Studio 60 universe, despite several actors having appeared on both shows. Allison Janney appears as guest host in "The Disaster Show" and several characters reference her role on The West Wing.
• At the top of "The Disaster Show," the camera follows a PA holding a flower arrangement with a flamingo centerpiece. Later, a large lawn flamingo can be seen in Allison Janney's dressing room, and during the commercial breaks a graphic of Janney and two flamingos appears on the screens. On The West Wing, Janney's character's Secret Service code name was "Flamingo."
• The chemistry between Allison Janney and Timothy Busfield is exhibited during "The Disaster Show." Busfield played Danny on The West Wing, Janney's character's boyfriend. As they do on The West Wing, they banter and argue, and at one point, he kisses her on the cheek.
• In a flashback on "K&R," Matt has difficulty tying his bow tie when they are going to the Emmy Awards, and Harriet questions why he doesn't just get a clip-on. Josh Lyman has a similar exchange with his assistant/love interest Donna Moss in The West Wing episode "On the Day Before"; he tells Donna, "The end of the night, you want to be able to pull it open like Tony Bennett."
• In "K&R, Part III," Tom discusses Simon's press debacle with an Air Force officer. "Dealing with the press isn't easy," says Tom. The officer replies "I wouldn't know, I've spent my adult life dealing with people who are trying to kill me." Reminiscent of Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men ("I eat breakfast three hundred yards from four thousand Cubans who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash a badge, and make me nervous.")
• In "The Wrap Party", Harriet tells Jeannie about how she almost kissed Matt. When Jeannie asks, "Where?", Harriet responds, "On the mouth." Jeannie replies, "Where in the Studio." Harriet- "Outside his office." This mirrors, quite closely, though not quite word for word, a conversation between Sydney Ellen Wade and her sister in "The American President", regarding a scene where Sydney was just about to kiss President Shepherd in the dish room (China room), when they were interrupted by Secret Service, and he was called away to deal with an urgent issue.
• In K&R, Part III, Jack plays a right wing radio show to demonstrate to Matt and Danny the criticism that the network has received since airing the alleged unpatriotic sketch after 9/11. The announcer's voice is Martin Sheen who played "Jed Bartlet" on "The West Wing".
• In K&R, Part III, Jack is encouraging Simon to apologize. Simon firmly states, "Jack, fire me or shut the hell up." Dana Whitaker, played by Felicity Huffman, made the exact same statement in a second-season episode of Sports Night.
• The final episode of the first and only season of Studio 60 is titled "What Kind of Day Has It Been." Likewise, the first season finale episodes of both The West Wing and Sports Night are also titled "What Kind of Day Has It Been."
• In "Breaking News", Matt calls Harriet "Norma Rae" in reference to the potential legal problems she caused by referring to the Studio 60 writers' room as a "tough place for women". This is similar to a scene in the West Wing in which Josh calls Donna "Norma Rae" in reference to the protest she arranged which caused inconvenience to the Chief of Staff.
