Sooooo I've been AWOL lately...too busy watching all the tv to get a chance to talk about it!
So The Newsroom is finished, can't wait till next season...I'm still hoping a few Sorkin shows alumn will pop up.
But seriously, enough with the West Wing references! That whole "gather ye rosebuds" bit was too much for me to handle!
Weeds bowed out this week, with a flash forward...with no real closure. Its funny, I kinda always expected Nancy to die in the end. But I guess it ended okay. It was nice to see some old faces again.
A new season has begun, with the shows starting up again.
Parenthood is back after a February season finale - toooooooo long a break in my opinion. Its good to finally have Lauren Graham back on my tv.
Revolution is a new show. So far I like it. Its part Lost, part Jericho, part....hunger games I guess. But its intriguing.
More shows will come back over the next few weeks. Plus some more new shows starting. Wonder what will survive this year!
Also the emmys are on on Monday. Can't wait!!!!

Sorkin Is Back!!!
So Aaron Sorkin's back with a new drama series on tv. The Newsroom on HBO. While I do find it a little strange having Sorkin on cable tv, for this series, its probably the best...and so far no major nudity! So a plus there!
The show does not star any of my people...but they are all good people. Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, Alison Pill, Dev Patel, Olivia Munn are all excellent...even Sam Waterston is excellent! Plus a few new people who I'm going to enjoy.
I like her concept of a proper news show that presents all sides. I like the relationships. And I like that its in New York.
There are plenty of links or references with previous Sorkin shows, including a character named Margaret Jordan! The only problem I have is that I tend to compare things that happen to characters from The West Wing or Studio 60. I found many things in the 2nd episode very 'Josh', 'Donna', Leo, Matt etc.
But I think that will go away soon...and is mostly to blame on the fact that I'm halfway through rewatching The West Wing!
So far only 3 episodes have aired, but I think I've liked the 2nd one best...or maybe the pilot. Its already been picked up for a 2nd season, so I'm sure there are plenty more great things to come!
-Seeing as she's been in every other Sorkin show, I wonder how long it will be before Felicity Huffman makes a guest appearance! -Maybe some old Sorkin peeps will pop up too....
