Season finale of The Newsroom already?

[KaryninMiami]

Wow- that went by so fast. I shall miss this weekly delightful, well written and brilliant show. It's been so great having an hour of Aaron Sorkin's amazing writing to look forward to every week. Guess I never did actually get over the loss of West Wing.

So I guess this means it doesn't return till after the election...

1. Yeah, I thought the season was really short. "True Blood" too. n/t

[Nay]

2. Yeah, how many episodes of True Blood? 6? That's ridiculous.

[Cleita]

4. The cliff hanger..SPOILER ALERT, if you haven't seen it yet,

of Bill turning into Lilith was a little weird even for that show. It seems like they are running out of ideas.

10. I thought the fairy orgasmic birth was rather comical.

[Cleita]

11. That was hilarious. n/t

[Codeine]

8. There were twelve.

Same as usual.

[Cleita]

9. Whatever happened to the 22 episode seasons of old.

Are they getting too expensive to produce?

[Codeine]

12. That only works with ad-supported television.

And even then it's becoming cost-prohibitive. Most of the cable companies producing original content have gone with the few-but-better-episodes formula, and I'm glad -- stuff like The wire, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, and The Newsroom would NEVER have shown up under the old model.

[Cleita]

13. That's true but they leave you hungry for more. n/t

[Codeine]

14. True that!

I'm just glad Dexter starts soon.

3. I think I was the only person who doesn't like this show. It bored the shit out of me!

[Drunken Irishman]

5. It's okay - but definitely nowhere near West Wing or Sports Night good.

6. Awesome show

It peeled the skin off the Republicans, very slowly, episode by episode. The last one was a really astounding.

Loved it when these republican tea baggers were called the American Taliban...so true. If news shows could really present the news like this show was. I did not think this show boring at all. I loved West Wing very much. The Newsroom is a lot like it.

7. Knowing HBO, it won't return for 18 months.

I hate HBO's production schedules. They used to do that with The Sopranos, too. Six or eight weeks, then hiatus for over a year!

[Firebrand Gary]

15. I love, love, love, love this show!

[shawnbank]

16. Ken Finkleman

just begin watch this show,not bad but not very good,Ken Finkleman must be evil and must be a genius. I love him!

[DURHAM D]

17. Who is Ken Finkleman?

[Warren DeMontague]

18. You know, they had me at Olivia Munn.

Some of the office romance crap is just plain goofy, but there is a lot of good content as well.
