I adore the show, and I can honestly say it gets better 2nd time round, can’t wait for season 2, I feel like I’ve been waiting a little too long, I just hope first time watches will remember the show! I hope it goes onto do more seasons in the future. =)

As a former newsperson, I adored this show, Couldn’t wait for each new segment. I loved the sterling ethics of the lead characters, and was horrified at the New Yorker’s idiotic trashing of the show. Sorkin is saying something deeply valid in these days of “Press Release Journalism,” and the all too apparent sellouts to the advertisers and poilitical power players, such as Hedge Fund CEO’s., and Washington’s power elite.

As far as I and my family this is great show and only gets better. Mr Sorkin hits every story right on the head. I would also like the West Wing continued with other Presidents, every story the West Wing came true in one way or another.

Newsroom women characters are extremely typical of what sorkin feels about women. Messes always, no matter how successful. And his sanctimonious politicking would be taken slightly more serious if he fired at the left once in a blue moon. One mention of george sorros, might make me take his rantings more serious. Of course he is still a great writer,even with his punditry

I’m relieved that Sorkin added two new additional characters to further expand the main plot. Hopefully this will take some screen time away from all the annoying office romances!

Haha.. yeah I don’t really mind any of the romances on their own. But the fact that there are no less than THREE (four?!) going on at all times… yeah that’s a few too many and just a bit too one dimensional for me. The characters should have various personal problems other than who they’re going to date next.

I know you guys hate talking about everything outside HBO, for what i get an feeling of at least. But they where great together in United States of Tara. One of those shows who found their strenghts to late, before they got cancelled.

Don’t mind talking about this at all. It’s 100% relevant. Glad they have talent! Welcome to HBO, you two.
