Anything Goes : Aaron Sorkin's 'Newsroom' Renewed for Third and Final Season by Richard "RB" Botto

Sigh... the writing is so great!

Sometimes, Phillip. Find it enormously uneven and, believe me, I'm a Sorkin apologist. The episode last year with the shot clock had my skin crawling.

Haha, you were so not alone in that relationship with "Newsroom."

I'm with you on the shot clock, RB. Sometimes starting the clock in a script is too literal a device... like the guy I had picking the cat out of the thorn tree in the opening scene of my romcom, Cat's Claw (kidding about cat's claw). Still, I do like his dialogue.

I recently read a less-than-kind description of NEWSROOM as a historical instant replay but I find the show more of a balancing act of story lines, recent history, the broadcasting business and all done with Sorkin's snappy dialogue.
