Has anyone else been watching this first season? It is very entertaining and I like that there are no commercials.

hey Devan, yeah I really dig this show......the dialogue is quick though, really have to pay attention. I love Sam Waterson in this, to hear him say F8ck just makes me smile.

Great show with oodles of simultaneous plots going on. You do need to pay attention. Great cast, great dialogue, and it's interesting to relive the actual news and their reaction to it while it was happening.

Not only watching it, loving it..... No surprise, I have been a fan of everything that Sorkin has put out(the stuff I have watched anyway).

Having a different director do each show has been a nice twist for how they feel. Every episode has its own "feel".

This show is great. I myself thought of starting a "Newsroom" thread a few weeks back, but feared I'd run into trouble with the ToE for bringing politics onto the board.

That being said, I'd recommend everyone try to catch some of this.

I do like how the show rags on both sides, But ill keep the details vague so the hammer doesnt come down.

A very entertaining show. Jeff Daniels is wonderful in this role! I agree, Sam Waterson's characters mouth...
