Is everybody excited to watch the new HBO drama about teevee news from writer Aaron Sorkin, the guy famous for showing a bunch of glib robot character spout out Aaron Sorkin's glib fantasy political views?Studio 60and, to a lesser extent,The West Wing
I may be one of the people you&#039;re referring to as a concern troll on this matter, so I&#039;d like to point out the difference between symptom and cause. No was suggesting that critical commentary about Sorkin was the <i>cause</i> of anything.
Now, being sober this morning, I skimmed back through the thread and must say that my own use of this as an example of liberal perfection-philia was wrong. Virtually all the Sorkin-critical comments were simply opinions about entertainment value, which are what you expect when you produce entertainment, such as.
So, while I stand by my point about liberals demanding perfection, this thread is not a good example of that.
And I should stay out of discussions of teevee and most movies, because I literally don&#039;t know what I&#039;m talking about.
<i>But citing the BP oil spill is a curious way to charge journalistic malpractice: By my recollection, that was a story the media covered fairly aggressively and responsibly.</i>
After what? A month? And then it was &#039;WHAT&#039;S OBAMA GONNA DO ABOUT THE BP SPILL/HOW IS THIS AFFECTING OBAMA&#039;S POLL NUMBERS???&quot;
<a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Isaac_and_Ishmael" target="_blank">It was 3rd season.</a> Oh, gawd, that episode was horrid.
For me, the show&#039;s shark jumping moment was when Bartlett got bullied into nominating a lame VP after his first one resigned and his daughter was kidnapped. Also, the summer before that season was when Sorkin got fired from the show.
It wasn&#039;t a bad show after that, but not nearly as good. That was also when it quit winning Emmys.
The walk and talk thing became a Sorkin shortcut when he was writing the screenplay for <i>A Few Good Men</i>, and he needed a way to differentiate the movie from the play. I believe at the suggestion of Rob Reiner.
The &#039;Duck Dynasty&quot; about the Robertson family is the ultimate. If you&#039;ve never seen the show try to find their excellent videos, including &quot;A Fistful of Ducks&quot;, and &quot;A Few Ducks More&quot;.
You didn&#039;t make as far as Bradley Whitford turning into a stalker or Matthew Perry having drug hallucinations? Because that was some quality television.
In watching the news about Sandusky my wife and I both noticed he had no emotion. If I was convicted of any crime, I would be scared out of my mind. We saw no emotion or empathy. Penn State should prepare to start writing some large checks to the molested persons. They sanctioned this for the purpose of college athletics.

I am stealing that line from you young lady. Ha!
Nice. That was back when they were tight. I saw them at a rib fest and they were out of tune, fat and sloppy.

&quot;Thoot &#039;im, thoot &#039;im!&quot;

The network-imposed laugh track sure didn&#039;t help. It was actually a drama with some funny parts in it, but the network decided otherwise.
<i>Studio 60</i> was the last Sorkin show.

not so terrible as jerry sandusky&#039;s next 10 years.
Up to the point where it&#039;s the wine cooler she decides to hang on to, it makes sense. After that, not so much.

Well what the fuck do you expect? After all, it is TeeVee for Dog&#039;s sake.
Can I brag that I never watched an episode of West Wing or does that make me a pompous liberal asshole too?
