YES! With the suits and hats and dames and guns and hooch and speaks…

….
"Had he and I but met,
By some old ancient inn"

I love that they're giving them unslaughtered foxes.

Didn't see the episode, must give a thumbs up the the T.S. Eliot reference though

… I'd try to say something witty about somebody else's team, but sadly I am a Raider fan.

Also, you can't watch this show for the dramatic aspects of it. This show is not going to be a crossover hit. This is for football people, and those only casually interested in football will probably find themselves only casually interested in Hard Knocks. People without any interest in football will not enjoy this…

The best part of this episode was the fact that Zimmer cannot say three consecutive words unless one of those words is a manifestation of the word "fuck".

Let us all take a deep breath and back away for several moments… this person just classified The Newsroom as art…. Art.

…I kind of liked that little exchange. What else is going to determine salary? Fairness certainly will never determine salary.

Neil's Redhead:  "Duh, I teach college. Duh, I know a dude who can help you. Duh, I'm in a protest."

Gary Cooper is the strong, silent type.

Shit yes. Plus on Spartacus Xena got naked a bunch.

Thank you for your indignance. If I were in your physical presence I would fart on you as a penalty for defending this program's terrible plot manipulation.

… "primary missions"? This show does not have a mission. This show is so far beneath missions the concept is laughable. This program is an intellect toupee, and Sorkin is the smooth-bald sonofabitch beneath it.

Newsroom producer:  *in development* "… you know, if we say 'Gary Cooper' enough, people just might confuse this with 'The Sopranos."

"Can I audit the rest of your class?"

"Lisa, I've always wondered if there's a god, and now I know there is… and its me"

Because Jack White is totally original and has never ripped off anyone, ever…

Working out on Monday mornings, where once we would discuss Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, etc, the other gym rats and I don't get to talk about TV anymore. Instead, they listen as I describe why I hated the previous night's broadcast of The Newsroom. A typical exchange:

Well, this season The Newsroom exists in a world wherein Luck is still in development, and next season it will exist in a world wherein Luck is still on the air, so if you think about it The Newsroom exists in a much better world for cable television than we do.
