Aaron Sorkin’s HBO Cable News Series To Be Called ‘Newsroom’

Let’s play a game! It’s called “Find The Two Shows This Show Has Stolen From”.

Of course, the first one’s pretty obvious, since The Newsroom is the pinnacle of TV hilarity, courtesy of our friends in Canada. Jim Walcott will always be the perfect talking head.

And UBS is the network on “Network”, the greatest movie ever made.

C’mon, Sorkin. I loved Sports Night, but let’s be a bit less lazy about naming these things.

Sam Waterston as the station boss is kinda great, though.
