So the pilot to "Newsroom" was pretty freaking awesome.

And the show as a whole appears to be getting panned by most critics, so this looks like it's going to be deja vu all over again.

The boys on BaD Radio weren't all that impressed with Newsroom. I haven't checked it out yet.. I think I'll probably pass. Everyone I've heard talk about the show seemed to think that it belonged on network television.

I love it. Despite its incredible ultra left wing position on every issue (despite the show within a show claiming to be unbiased), I love it.

I recognize why others don't, and I'd be lying if I denied an eye roll here and there, but I'm such a sucker for Sorkin and his dialogue and his ability to write the big moment.

If you liked West Wing or The American President then you might enjoy the witty and quick dialogue. Other than that, it's pretty bland.
