Couldn't agree more with him slamming the reality tv crap, though.

For a registered republican he is deeply liberal. I try and look past the political preaching and enjoy it for the characters.

Gee, this show sounds impartial and really not liberally biased at all.

Yeah same here. I like the characters and just get by whatever agenda this show has. This show could be really good if they put the politics to the side, or just suck if they focus on that.

I also like it when they have breaking news.

If I wanted to see a show making fox and rush look stupid I'd rather watch the daily show do it better, more cleverly, and funnier

They are skipping real news to present political stories. It get old. I am conservative but I don't care to watch a tv show about conservative news. It's boring and stupid.

This will be Sorkin's vessel to get his message out to the masses. Pretty obvious. What else does he have to do at this stage in his career? And it's not like HBO will give a frick either.

You need confirmation that what you believe is right, from a fictional television program that has every intention of being biased in favor of what you believe?

Oh my.

In other news, I loved the show Lost because it proved that time travel and smoke monsters were real, which is something in which I've always firmly believed.

Exactly. I don't give a shite about the politics, that's just good tv.

So they happened to do an anti-gun (sorry... anti-lieing) episode RIGHT before Rep. Giffords was shot?

Sorkin is such a tool.

It looks like next week will be a more current event, apolitical* show as well.


*I'm sure there will be some political tie-in to Egypt, but not as in your face as congressional elections.

Let's talk about te season finale... Any doubt that they go with an Osama Bin Laden death story?

Its February 2011 as of next weeks episode. I assume they fill in several episodes between February and may and end it with his death.

Could be wrong though.

Bin Laden isn't dead just because NPR says he is!

How many episodes are scheduled for season one?

OBL was killed in the beginning of May, right? Or late April? I could see them fitting three shows between February and April if there are 8 eps. Can't think of something shortly after OBL that would be show worthy.

If that's the case, the one before that will be about how Obama is weak on foreign policy, or something to make the finale a bigger "boom".
