About the "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" and "Twenty Good Years":

"Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" is the latest creation from writer/producer Aaron Sorkin, who tackles the rarely seen world of network television, along with acclaimed director/producer Thomas Schlamme and a phenomenal ensemble cast. When the beleaguered executive producer of a long-running late-night sketch-comedy series interrupts the live broadcast and has a "Network" moment on the air, the industry, the media and the viewers are galvanized. Into this melee steps shrewd and self-confident network president Jordan McDeere (Amanda Peet), who squares off against the chairman (Steven Weber) and rehires a brilliant, unpredictable writer/producer team (Matthew Perry/Bradley Whitford)--which had left the show years ago under a cloud of controversy--to bring it back from the brink. This daring drama literally goes behind the scenes to expose the politics, personalities and pandemonium of producing a flagship series on a major television network. D.L. Hughley, Sarah Paulson, Timothy Busfield, and Nate Corddry ("The Daily Show with Jon Stewart") also star in the series created by Sorkin. Schlamme and Sorkin serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television.

"Twenty Good Years" is a comedy following two New Yorkers who have finally realized that life doesn't last forever. Mismatched buddies John Mason (John Lithgow), an impulsive, thrice-divorced surgeon who has been forced into retirement, and Jeffrey Pyne (Jeffrey Tambor), a widower judge who over thinks every situation, are polar opposites in every way. But the one thing they can agree on is that they only have about 20 good years left. Both men vow to live each day as if it were their last, despite what anyone--including their twenty something children--thinks. After all, when age meets anarchy, there's no time for regrets. The series was created by Michael Leeson and Marsh McCall, and is executive produced by Tom Werner, Eric Gold, Jimmy Miller and McCall. "Twenty Good Years" is from Werner-Gold-Miller and Marsh McCall Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
