If any of you are Sorkin fans at all, you will Love this article:
http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/09/06/aaron-sorkin-west-wing/It talks about how Sports Night and Sorkin's style and how important it was in the 90s. Also mentions West Wing and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. And that, sadly, Sorkin seems to have moved on from TV series. Which is a shame cos he's practically the god of Comedy Dramas. And the Pedeconferencing used in House, ER, CSI and many other shows was Thomas Schlamme's cash cow technique.
...Even though we had it in The Bill all those years ago, first. But he made it famous in America. And he used it in Sport's Night.
Then he used it as a gag-reference used in a few episodes, where characters will be waking-and-talking through the corridors, stop and ask each other where they're walking to, or why didn't they stop before when they went past the cafe or that another person has to keep up if they wanna get out what they want to say before the corridor-meeting finishes. <3
I believe a similar thing was used in House when House and Wilson walk around in a square and House goes back into his office and Wilson "Didn't we just leave your office?" and House says, "I like to walk".
Even though Thomas Schlamme and Aaron Sorkin have never worked on House, Bryan Singer Loves the technique!
