1. It's excellent that we get to live the Josh-Donna thing again. Seven series of UST was barely enough.

2. It's also great that we get to redo the Harriet-Matt thing. It finished way too fast in Studio 60 because the show was axed. Let's be thankful it'll be drawn out for more than a single season this time.

3. Good to see Leo again. He shouldn't drink so much this time around and he should try to relax more.

4. This time the main character is a republican so that goes to show how bipartisan Sorkin is. Really it does. It really does.

5. I'm sorry I showed so little self control in watching this series. It's all over in under 2 days and I'm suffering for it. I'm feeling way too righteous...

  1. 6. 10 shows does not a season make - but if they're so much fun, then it can be forgiven.

    1. In particular, best opening sequence ever.

    2. Yes, though the way they finished the episode was also brilliant.

  4. I'm really interested to see where they take Charlie's character. Alcoholism was a hugely detrimental part of Leo's life, but so far in the Newsroom it's just been a punchline.

  6. Just bought season 1 DVD. Watched episode 1 so far. More yelling than WW. And faster paced. *like*
