    Yeah the writing isnt as dramatic as West Wing its leans more on the comedy side. Its still every bit as good in comedy terms....witty, sharp, and cutting enough to separate the riff raff in the audience.

    going back a few eps: i thought it was great how Mack was talking ? to Will about taking the cheerleader out how she only would want him for money and fame. Then the next day he goes out with a brain surgeon LMAO subtle Ether at its finest.

    So now that Munn has been seen topless in that movie, might as well do a small screen scene on this show. Just end the season with it, like a cherry on top.. lol

    But this episode was good, I like how when news breaks ? everything else. And the simple idea he's stating facts in his broadcast could actually educate some of his audience watching The Newsroom.

    And Will McAvoy is like Bill Maher, registered Republican who noticed how far right his party has gone and isn't holding back speaking the truth. I suppose that's apropos considering they start this show when Real Time went on a break.

    Also if I haven't said it before I was always a fan of the original Law and Order.. I like seeing my boy Jack McCoy Sam Waterson back in a similar roll but more outgoing.

    @s.Jr. yo don't disrespect McAvoy lol. Maher is a know-it-all ? . And Maher is a registered Democrat. Maher does some good, but he never allows anyone to challenge him.

    Otherwise your post is good! I'm glad people like this show because I love it!

    I know Maher is now for sure. But I swore I heard him saw he was registered Republican anyway, I should've said voted republican, but understands who far right they've moved.

    Idk, I ? with Real Time.

    I love real time too! Republicans are irrational the whole party stands on the ground of slander and misinformation. Voting for them defies rationality right now.

    Huh? Either its the "truth" or its biased...but it cant be both.

    I ? with Real Time and just like Will McAvoy, Bill only deals in facts. Not their fault the Republicans have gone so far right that the center is now considered left.

    Bill Maher stays cutting someone off that makes a better point than him. The show is good though.

    McAvoy is a little more open to conversation than Maher lol

    I know Bill says a lot whenever a republican mentions some "fact" or idea that isn't being talked about by liberals. He hates giving them their say only to check it out and its complete ? . So he doesn't like giving awareness to counter points like that.

    Anyway so which character is gonna smash Olivia Munn on camera?

    Anderson Cooper doesn't keep it real!

    Yeah Bill kibosh's a lot. He does keep it real though very good show. He needs to learn when o stop being a comic though. Burning nitpicking the show is dope!

    saw a lil vingette about how they film the show.... they actually film Will as the anchor and the newsroom simultaneously.. they are all connected through earpieces. i thought that was pretty cool. Might be why it comes off so realistic. i sure its on youtube or hbo go if someone can find it..
