Don't be too proud of yourself it was entitled "The Blackout"

Is this show getting any better or is it still circling the drain?

Hey, we had a reasonable debate that it would be a metaphor such as a TV "blackout".

Don't steal my prophetic thunder.

Depends on who you ask. I enjoy it (and it's been green lighted for Season 2 BTW).

Well there better be a shite load of catastrophic events between now and April or they won't have anything to revolve episodes around.

Well I've enjoyed it since day one but if you didn't then I doubt anything would have changed for you

They're still reporting news from May-ish 2011. I'm sure they'll have plenty of stuff to cover.

FWIW, this all happened after May 2011:

Hurricane Irene (NY evacuations)
Repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy
Occupy Wall Street
10th Anniversary of 9/11 and Ground Zero reipening
A shite ton of Gadhafi and Libya news
Penn State scandal
Kim Jong II dies
Lots of Republican ticket news (i.e. Cain suspending his campaign)

And that's just skimming through December 2011. I doubt content will be an issue.

Plus the election itself which I'm sure will bring some action in the next 90 days. It's not a great show by any means, and sorkin can be so heavy handed, but I'm a huge fan of sports night and this is very similar.

I think it's liberal crap. I'm watching out of respect for Sorkin and sheer boredom.

You apparently have some sort of deep seated hatred for liberals yet you are watching out of "respect for sorkin"?????
