THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON CABLE TV LAST NIGHT:  I speak, of course, of the trailer for HBO's The Newsroom, which looks like SportsNight (without the sports, and with Sam Waterston in the Robert Guillaume slot and Emily Mortimer and her brittle bones as Felicity Huffman), crossed with Judd Hirsch's rant in the Studio 60 pilot, plus cursing, and unlike Studio 60 this time it's intentionally not-funny.
