PUSSY-ASS COWARD-ASS PUSSIFIED PUSSIES:  So, um, The Newsroom. Yeah. It got better, and I didn't hate it, but I so much would prefer the show which this could be to the one which it actually is—even if in my dreams the show consists 80% of Sam Waterston yelling at people, 18% political content and 2% failed romcom. I think Alan's right to focus on the fact that in a show based on our recent past, NewsNight with Will McAvoy cannot actually end up being effective in changing what happens, in improving the discourse, etc., which leaves, what? The bus scene?

Let me ask this: would you rather see Season 2 of this, or of Studio 60? Related: The AVClub's summer-long recap of season 4 of The West Wing today takes it to the worst episode of Sorkin's era on the show.
