Other smart, fast talking shows?
Post Body

I'm looking for other shows like The West Wing or Gilmore Girls. Things I'm looking for, in order of importance:

  • fun mix of comedy and drama

  • ensemble casts who you want to root for

  • very quick dialogue

  • a single person who writes most of the episodes (The West Wing has Sorkin, Gilmore Girls has Amy Sherman Paladino. When one person writes most of the dialogue, it gives it a same-i-ness that I like.)

  • they don't wait for you to understand the joke before moving on. I like shows that trust their audience.

Grey's Anatomy fulfills some of these requirements. So does Abbot Elementary.

I've tried Sport's Night and The Newsroom, but I didn't enjoy either (I dont care about sports and The Newsroom felt too pretentious).

Marvelous Ms Maisel is on my list.

Please help :)
