so far through season 1 and can't believe there isn't a thread already...  so much to say, but will find it hard to believe the first episode of season one doesn't instantly grab you.  Especially anyone who actually suffers through watching the news..

If this is your first foray in The Newsroom, I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it. I think it's probably one of the most cerebral shows out there right now. Another Aaron Sorkin (Moneyball, A Few Good Men, Social Network, West Wing) hit.

 

I've seen the all 19 episodes more than once and the first is easily one of the best single episodes of television I've ever seen. "Election Night: Part II" is the last episode to date and it may be the second best episode of the series. 

 

Bleys, you won't be disappointed- this is one of those series I could easily binge watch over a weekend.

I love the show, one of my favorite on TV.  I have seen season one probably ten times, season two at least three times.  The first episode has to be one of the best pilots I have ever seen.  Don Keefer is definitely my favorite character.

 

I'm partial to Sloan Sabbith (Olivia Munn) because 1) she's hot and 2) for all of her economic smarts, book intelligence and professional presence, the personal side of her life reveals a pretty vulnerable and, at time, naive women. Makes for an interesting dichotomy.

 

The writers need to fix the Maggie Jordan (Allison Pill) storyline and move on already. This began wearing on me last season as her neuroses continued to digress into almost childish behavior.

maggie is so typical though.. lol  It's annoying to watch because I get to watch average people every day make the same bad decision over and over..  I'm still watching the start of season 2 so maybe they'll move past this but it sounds like I'll have to put up with it.  

 

Great thing is the rest of the show can carry that story.

 

I'm a huge Olivia Munn fan (who isn't?) so I'm glad to hear her character gets more attention in season 2.

 

Waiting to watch anything past episode 5 in season 2 so while I'm visiting the parents I can get my father hooked and still have something new to watch..

 

Too bad this show isn't real life.  I'd actually suffer through the news.  Although I doubt it happens it would be awesome to watch someone separate themselves from the hot garbage and just tell it straight.  One can dream though..

Sloan and Will are my next two after Don.

 

Charlie, Mac and Jim are my next tier.

 

I do not like Maggie, but I also am not a fan of Neal.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
