Many layers....I so related or shall I say I understand, to punching the monitor after 30 seconds of Limbaugh.

It's amazing how well a TV show can be when it's willing to take a chance...

may have been the best one so far. I loved it. And I'm beginning to get the emotional connections like I had watching West Wing. Can't really explain myself. Great show!

to get me through the series. I love the way Sorkin starts an episode with something that seems off topic and then ends the episode by neatly tieing the beginning to the end. Like when Will kept getting written up in the gossip column and Charlie figures out at the end who was really behind the stories and why. Starting last night with the discussion of the movie Rudy and the universal support of everyone in the newsroom for the young guy in Egypt.

If they would take out the nonsense teen-age love angle from the program it would greatly improve the program. The character played by the young blond haired young woman should be done away with immediately and get rid of the boyfriends too. Take out the personal outbursts in the workplace too. Its almost as if they took a serious program and mixed with with the equivalent of a Vampire program - its a mix bound to fail.

Although I do agree with others there's too much 'love triangle' crap (although I can see WHY they have to do that), everything else is just riveting. I had basic cable but picked up HBO just for this show (and let them know when I signed up).
