Those credits still make me want to punch them in the face.
It’s the ninth installment of Why Aaron Sorkin Is Better Than You…I’m sorry, The Newsroom. And since it’s been hot and I’m cranky I thought I’d let Steve Carell handle this week’s minicap. (H/T Jake Morales)
Full recap in a few days. Until then, you can catch up on the last recap here.

@vallegirl, if this episode was dealing with Casey Anthony (I didn’t watch it, I just saw the previews), do you think Sorkin planned to have a second season of this? If they are doing “ripped from the headlines,” I don’t see how this show can continue. As awful as it has turned out to be, I’m glad for no second season, but this thought struck me as I watched the previews.
I think he always planned on it to go longer than one season. It’s not ripped from the headlines as much as “How I would have done the news since I have the benefit of hindsight and haven’t a clue in hell how news is actually gathered so everyone knows someone who is closely affiliated with this big story from last year so we break it with a conveniently timed and placed whistleblower.”
The last two episode have featured Casey Anthony so this season will end around mid 2011. With the next season not starting until mid 2013, they have the whole election to get through so the second season could easily be set in 2012 and they can maintain their “recent past” approach. They just need to be one year ahead of the news and with 12 episoded it’s easy enough to do.
I just hope he spends some time in a real newsroom to realize just how laughably wrong he’s gotten that aspect so they can do some actual news gathering. Or take a sexual harassment/sensitivity training class.
