Salli Richardson :wow:

looks like their going to catch up to 2012 this season... where do they go next season? fake news stories?

Looks like they're already setting up ACN's parent company to be involved in some hacking like what happened overseas.

I like Olivia Munn's character :yeshrug:

She about the only person that doesn't get on my nerves on this show.

This episode was funny as fukk....and then I kinda got emotional when he told the pilot the Osama news :sadcam:

All that shyt on the plane was hilarious.

"Boy, that Genghis Khan had some pretty good ideas!" :dead:

"I might need to see that demonstration again because I've never seen a seatbelt before"

McAvoy's "Hmm?" at the end of that meeting was jokes


.......I can't wait to rewatch this whole season :laugh:

They observed Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews during their research.

I think I have noticed a few anchors attempting to step up their game after this show was launched.

I have always wondered how the anchors had time to become knowledgeable about so many subjects in such small periods of time. For instance, when anchors claim that they read their guests books overnight or how they seem to have a handle on every subject.

The show illustrates how key the production staff is.

Yeah, the production staff is who should be rewarded those Peaboady Awards. They're the one who keeps these faces, I mean "journalists" sharp.

they will never catch up. real life news never slows down. thousands of top stories plus election coming.

and the season is once a year with 10 episodes so they will never catch up
True...and with the relationships aspect of the show they'll definitely be able to stretch shyt out for like 2-3 episodes at a time.

Another solid episode.

Still don't think this show it's great; it's has a certain level of cheesiness (breaking the news to United Airline pilots/flight attendant, nyc cops, etc), but it's entertaining now and really hit it's stride.


corny as fukk. NYC didnt get sentimental over Bin Laden's death. Either you partied or you kept it movin.

Ya watching a newsroom, not a bunch of random folks in nyc...I'm sure they reflected on the monumental moment.

its a "I dont want to get married but I dont want to stop hitting that" issue

I think it's more of a Jim still wanting to "play the good guy" issue and give her a fair shot at dating.

cheesiness destroys stuff like this for me

don't SHOW me empathy, build it in me through the story/character's

Caught up with the last two episodes and the show is progressing much better. The love traingles still are :comeon: but it's not as annoying anymore.

This show is pisses me off sometimes. Watching the blond girl in the love triangle pisses me off how she talks to Jim. That's her fukkin boss.

The guy in the airplane was a real dikkhead to the flight attendant. The ending of that scene didn't sit well with me either. All of that tension and the flight attendant hugs the pilots...and that's it? GTFOH

The reporting aspect is solid as fukk, though
