Just finished watching the first ep of "The News Room" on HBO. Had to watch it On Demand, 'cause I couldn't stay up late last night.
Oh MAN! What a great show! I haven't been this thrilled about TV since the fourth season of The West Wing.
THRILLED! I think my wife and I were both in tears a little. And she's a Republican!
Finally. Great television has returned to television...

(842 posts)I recorded episode 1 and just finished viewing it, too....... OMG! There is hope! I loved it. (Tears for me,too.)
Even though this is a little late, please.....please.....if anyone has NOT seen the first episode, find it and watch it. Amazing!

And, the obvious *acting* by the cast was pathetic.
Hate to break it to you, but NOBODY actually talks that way.
Compared to a show like Mad Men, this was awful.

(24,396 posts)BTW - it IS very Republican, though, to take a person's dislike of one thing and act like that means they dislike everything.
Just thought I'd state the obvious.

I'm bummed they canceled CSI Miami. A few of the other shows I watch are going off the air this year as well, so I'm going to need some new ones.
