The insecure crazy ones are the best.
Yep, I remember.There was quite a lot of news time devoted to that story at the time and the sentiment wasn't far off what was actually being said, what part of it was dumb ?
Maybe they've just got a very light work schedule?The writing's really curious on this. They jump forward large periods of time but then the personal relationships only seem to advance on the days we see them. If these people are so consumed as they seem to be when we're seeing them, what's happening on the days we don't see?

The thing is that's what it was actually like at the time. I know a couple of yanks and their reaction at the time was ultra nationalistic.Painfully nauseating level of your garden variety nationalism in the 9/11 episode....Flag wavers were positively giddy, I'm certain
You're spot on. I remember the first Daily Show episode after Bin Laden got killed and aside from poking fun at the coverage it was quite nationalistic. I suppose the episode did capture the mood of the US at the time.The thing is that's what it was actually like at the time. I know a couple of yanks and their reaction at the time was ultra nationalistic.
All this show is just potential. It has been a massive disappointment so far in my opinion.Although that phone hacking stuff was quite interesting. Has the potential to turn into a good storyline.
Yep this is all true. That's why I reckon Olivia Munn could be the Newsroom's Mandy.The first season of the West Wing was a bit shit, too, if people recall. But it improved significantly by the time the second one rolled around.
And just like this show, the WW also suffered with some fairly poor characters early on, but they quickly got removed by the second season after it had settled down.
Sorkin shows tend to get better as time goes on; at least until he gets dropped by the production team because his coke-addled rant-filled scripts are getting delivered too late for filming.
This is still better than Sports Night...which wasn't really all that bad a show relative to the other stuff on tv.The first season of the WW was much better than this though. Studio 60 was too. This is the weakest of Sorkin's shows so far IMO. That's not particularly a bad thing though. It's like saying "that's is the worst of Ronaldo's 30 yard freekicks"
Mandy.Wait do people really think the first season of WW was shit? It was my favourite just after season 2.
I gave up at the same point. It will take a really good sell for me to keep up watching.I am 4 episodes in. Not sure if I want to continue watching. I like bits of it but it is far from great
Does it improve much?
