So, if you had to guess based on last night’s show, is Aaron Sorkin Protestant or Jewish? SKL says Protestant, since Jews already know all that abstruse Christian arcanae. (Matthew Perry sure ain’t Jewish.) SKL thinks the problem is direction, too many overplayed expressions, telegraphed emotions, they need to learn how to throw away their lines. I say it’s in the script, a good example of how terrific performers try to prop up weak material… looks worse because it exposes the poor writing rather than props it up. Would somebody please shut down Ed Asner?
