I am so happy to learn that I’m not the only person who makes that “bwah” sound to the HBO intro.

I would agree Newsroom is funnier than The West Wing. As much as I love the West Wing, the setting and station of the characters limited the amount of humor that can be inserted. Much less of that type of restriction here! One of the primary criticisms I've read about the show is that, by using real events, Sorkin is trying to say 'see, this is how it should have gone' and to an extent I can see that point of view but I think that view is colored by people's opinions about Sorkin to begin with. If you already didn't like him, then this can certainly seem like a sermon, post hoc ergo propter hoc and indeed. I feel that by having fictional characters respond to real events it allows the actors to draw on real memories and experiences they had, while still filtering them through the character.

Exactly why I love this show! You're so right about the pre-conceived opinion that people can have about Aaron Sorkin. It tainted the reviews IMO

You actually DID see Olivia Munn in the first episode. It was the back of her body and you heard her voice. She was doing her segment when Mackenzie first walks into the Newsroom. Small catch, but she's there. Another Sorkinism that you missed in the first episode is actually one of the big ones. "XYZ is where that man eats." Usually when talking about great public speaking. Josh said that about Bartletts Third State of the Union and now we saw Mac describing Will that way. Clearly both gifted public speakers.

I love this show so much - all three seasons!!

Regarding the similarities of the ceiling falling between The West Wing and this episode, there exists a Sorkinisms YouTube supercut, which I won't link to since it has many scenes from Sorkin shows/movies you haven't seen, which let's just say shows Sorkin has a tendency to repeat himself.

Much more than the pilot, this was the episode that roped me in, kinda making me fall for a bunch of the characters (and Maggie in particular). In the long run I found it disappointing, but you're a good way from that for now. Meanwhile DAMN I enjoy these uncut versions, for as long as you're able to get away with them.

Yes paying for healthcare with chickens was a stupid line by a senate candidate from Nevada that late night comedians ran with and it destroyed her candidacy.

The name 'Mohammed al Mohammed el Mohammed bin Bazir' was also used in West Wing. Josh used it in 20 Hours in America. This is also the same episode that the actor who plays Jim Harper was in.

The good old days. In today's political climate that candidate would be put in charge of healthcare.

Really disliked the show early on in season 1 but stuck with it, and I'm glad I did. Seasons 2 and 3 are really good. Here for the ride!

You guys are now currently reacting to 2 of my top 10 faves (this & Halt & Catch Fire)! Glad yer liking this. Hope you'll continue for whole series. IMO - all 3 seasons are incredible.
