The Newsroom

[handmade34]

worth catching a later show if you missed it tonight... WOW!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Really kicking teabagger ass tonight.

I really like the show, except that I totally hate both McKenzie and Maggie. They spend way too much time babbling and shrieking.

[Scootaloo]

3. I just figure the characters were written as gerbils in business-casual

Lots of frantic movements and squeaking.

[FarPoint]

10. This should be a mainstream TV show...

So those who need the clarification and facts could actually get the information. Newsroom was excellent tonight.

[FLyellowdog]

2. Again...why aren't these guys helping to run the President's campaign?

This stuff is for REAL!

[handmade34]

4. What makes The United States the

greatest Country...??

You do! I saw that coming

[Ya Basta]

5. WOW! Indeed

So many WOW moments in tonight's episode.

[jillan]

6. OMG Omg They hit this one out of the park tonite!!!!

[Raster]

7. K&R! Must Watch!

[romantico]

8. SUCKS!

Sucks because now we have to wait til June 2013 to see the next season. I LOVE HBO. I think they do the best series and most important, the network stands behind them and fights for them. They ordered a second season of the Newsroom right after the pilot aired and with Boardwalk EMpire, they ordered a full second season before the pilot of season one even aired.

My only complaint and this is the only problem I have with HBO is that I wish they would do more episodes for a season. For HBO, ten episodes is a season. I know we are lucky because a show like Downton Abbey only gets 6 or 7. Still, I wish they could either A) take 6 months off instead of a year or B) produce 15 or 16 episodes per season.

A show like CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM returns whenever Larry David feels like it.

Oh, and tonight's episode knocked it out of the fricking park! I like the fact there was no cliffhanger or that it ended with high drama. Wish more shows would end for the season like this.

30. Wait...what? this was the last show of the season??????

9. I watched the first three or four episodes

and thought it was great. Haven't watched since, though. Been busy on Sundays the last few weeks. I'll try to catch replays, or see if it's On Demand

[tkmorris]

11. It's on HBO on demand, yes

And it's worth the effort IMHO.

[Ya Basta]

16. Watch all of them on HBO GO

My tv and internet provider is cox and HBO GO is free. Just log into HBO GO with my IP password. Same with other service providers. Maybe check to see if you have free access too.

18. a must see

I was up out of my seat... great show...

[TDale313]

12. Amazing episode! n/t

[Solly Mack]

13. Love the show.

Just don't agree with the out given to republicans that allows them to separate themselves from the Bachmann's within their party.

It's not a new idea being floated, I know. The show isn't the first to put that thinking forward.

And it's not just a device for Will's character to be appealing to liberal viewers and have them cheering a ("real&quot republican. It's more than just audience appeal. It's a lifeline for real life republicans to embrace....should they choose.

I know you're supposed to give your opponent an out that allows them a chance to save face - which gives them the open they need to turn on certain people or groups of people (like the members of the tea party) without appearing to turn on their own party as a whole. Fully understand how that bit of manipulation works.

Still - no.

The GOP spawned every single Michele Bachmann in America. They did it intentionally. They are the same. The GOP has caused too much harm to America/Americans for me to ever pretend there's a difference.


That said. I love the show.

14. I just have to say - when he said "A.T." at the end of his newscast - I jumped outta my chair and

[Ya Basta]

20. YES!!

Same here and I had a grin from ear to ear.

[JaneyVee]

15. Will McEvoy just dismantled the Tea Party.

[handmade34]

19. "the American Taliban"

[sarcasmo]

17. I hope Olivia Munn doesn't leave the show.

[trixicopper]

21. Next JUNE!!??

I haven't seen this episode yet. I will later tonight. But next June? Damn that is a long wait.
This is the first American television show that I have followed in years, and I have really enjoyed it!

[handmade34]

22. will be lots on new material

to work off by then

[Ya Basta]

23. I have a prediction

Remember the deleted message at the end? Bet the character Nina Howard either gets busted and her computer confiscated by the FBI and that deleted file will be one of the files restored...........or that file was captured by WikiLeaks and will be among the many which resurfaces.

Whatever the case, I have a feeling that message will come up again. Just maybe and if so I bet Mackenzie hears it.

[jillan]

24. I bet you are right!!! Will sent her that message as a setup.

DUers are so insightful!

Great job

[Ya Basta]

25. Was just watching it again and the thought just occurred to me.

Well I guess we'll find out next year.

Great show isn't it.

[handmade34]

26. didn't get that impression

I was left with the sense that the death threats will play a much bigger role... I think the "being high" concern is of no consequence??

your guess is as good as mine though

[Ya Basta]

28. The suspense of having to wait almost a year. :)

Your thought is a good one too. I wonder if they ever read the DU and get ideas?

[liberal_at_heart]

27. I hate how all the best written shows

always come out on HBO first. I mean I'm glad that HBO has such great writers but some of us don't have HBO. Is there another way to catch this show? I would like to watch it.

[lunatica]

33. See post #16

Maybe that will help

[Firebrand Gary]

29. Kicked and Recd

[nanabugg]

31. Any way to watch this without subscription to HBO? nt

[lunatica]

32. Look at response #16

That might help
