    I saw a quick teaser about this show where Jeff Daniels said that rather than shoot in an existing TV station/studio, they basically built their own custom made, fully functional TV station. He said with the exception of a satellite, they could almost broadcast from it. As someone in video production, I can't twait to see this. (although sadly, it won't replace Jonah :( )

    Every time I want to cancel HBO for a few months, another show comes along. By the time this is over, Boardwalk Empire will be back....looks like I'm HBO all year round.

    It got so so reviews but I thought it was great!

    Def. on my watch list.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
  • intodeepintodeep Posts: 7,228
    I thought it had soem really great moments and some clunky moments. Good enough that i'll be back again next week. hoping they tighten up some.

    The first 10 minutes and the last 30 or so were great. Some of the development felt awkward to me.

    I did love the station manager (the one that was drinking OBAN at the end. nice scotch choice!) line to Don (i think his name was done the producer that left)
    something to the effect:
    If you don't shut your mouth i'm going to kick your ass i don't care how many energy bars you eat I'm a Marine! :lol::lol:

    That was great. It could have also included every character on The West Wing saying a dismissive "ok" over and over again.

    I'm not sure what show the critics were watching, but I thought it was outstanding. Sure it's idealistic, a little over-dramatic, and it's certainly a fantastical view of the world of live news, but I was thoroughly entertained and engaged. Outside of sports, I'm to the point where the only networks I need are HBO, AMC, and Comedy Central.

    I think it has a lot of potential, good first episode, I thought the Sam Waterston guy from Law & Order was really funny, like his character a lot so far.

    yeah that last 10 minutes of last night's episode was the most riveting thing i have watched on tv in quite some time.

    i remember where i was when the networks were saying that giffords had died. i was on an eliptical machine at the gym and i stayed on it for an extra 30 min to watch cnn, who had reported that she passed while i was still on the machine, and then they changed the story....it really struck me when the guy in the control room had typed her birth year - 2011, and then he deleted it.

    the coldplay song was a nice touch. i think it heightened my emotions for sure...

    good stuff hbo!

    I really hope this show starts getting the attention it deserves. It's really some of the best writing/acting on TV. Glad to hear they have been renewed for a second season. Hopefully HBO is smart enough to give it a better lead in than True Blood. I know the show is popular, but I can't imagine much of that audience is staying tuned in for The Newsroom.

    finally caught up

    fuck i love this show! sorkin is a badass!!
  • intodeepintodeep Posts: 7,228
    I'm still watching but i don't think it is that good. It has good moments but it has plenty of moments that are trying to be funny but just fail. The Bigfoot thing...... i see what they are tryign to do but it didn't work.

    I like it enough i'll watch the entire first season to see if the writers catch stride because when they are good its nice drama, but I have a feeling they may not pull it together for an entire episode the entire season.
