| More West Wing/Studio 60 |
[Feb. 20th, 2007|12:32 pm] |
I noticed, and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) truthbealiar did too, in tonight's episode of Studio 60 the name of a familiar legal firm.
The blonde lawyer on tonight's 60 works for Gage Whitney, the same firm Sam Seaborn worked for on The West Wing before working with the President.
This is more proof that Sorkin loves to recycle names and dialogue. Again on 60 tonight, Matt's assistant said "I go home when you go home." Which is just as lovely a sentiment now as when Margaret said it to Leo on The West Wing.
Now, it's impossible to reconcile President Bush with President Bartlett - but Munch dealing with alien conspiracies on The X Files doesn't exactly fit in neatly with Homicide either...
Still not connected to Tommy, though.
ETA: The OC/Grey's Anatomy connection in thread... (also Non-Tommy so far...) |

| Non-Tommy Crossover: The West Wing/Studio 60 |
[Feb. 1st, 2007|12:44 pm] |
I always loved the fact that The West Wing took place in its own hermetically sealed universe - even though I would have loved the characters on ER to have left work to vote in the fictional 2006 election between Matt Santos and Arnold Vinnick.
And, so far, Studio 60 has avoided actual crossovers - though it looks like Sorkin might be pushed into marketing crossovers, with Masi Oka of Heroes appearing this week.
But now we have proof that Sorkin's two babies connect to each other.
Note the "Bartlet for America" poster on the wall in this screencap of a Studio 60 office.
Now if only we can connect to Sorkin's third series, Sports Night... then Tommy will have some new friends to play with!
ETA: Maybe it doesn't count? Discussion of Bush and 9/11 references in the comments... |
