Ok.. 15 minutes into this show..

Some great quotes: "So when you ask 'why is America the greatest country in the world?' I don't know what the FUCK you are talking about!"

---

Anchor dude: "I get that there are moments, small moments, infrequent moments where I'm not the easiest guy to work with, but who the hell is?"
Network Bigwig: "I am!"
Anchor dude: "It helps that you're drunk most of the time."
Network Bigwig: "It certainly does!" :lol:

"I'm a perfectly nice guy, I have the focus group data to prove it."

Ok, this show got shit reviews, but I'm in love. I'd have Aaron Sorkin's baby if it were possible. :heart:

Wasn't there a movie about a guy who carried someone's child to term?

It's hard to top the use of fuck in Glengarry Glen Ross.

Is this an HBO series? I saw the first episode last night. I think the show is excellent.
He said everything that needed to be said in his response to the college student's question about, "Why is America the greatest nation in the world?"
The rest was just something to carry that part.

Is this an HBO series?Yes.

Keith Olbermann is flattered, saying "this is the second time Aaron Sorkin has written about me.." :roll: I don't think Jeff Daniels is portraying any one specific network anchor. First of all Keith, Jeff Daniels' character still has a job with a major network..

Haven't seen the show as I don't have HBO. But the interview about it with Jeff Daniels was excellent.

Smart and smarter, yes indeed.

Just listened to NPR, interview with Alan. Very funny.

Another redemption for an ex-addict as well. :clap:
