Amazing.

[Berry Cool]

6. Yeah, I like it already.

Looking forward to the rest of the show.

[Duppers]

9. frikin' amazing. did you hear that speech?! Wow! to quote...

"we're in a war that has its own logo and theme song and the country is being run by a crazy religious cult"

Perhaps NOT his exact words, but close.

NBC is gutsy airing this!

10. I nearly frightened my poor dog to death with the "Oh YEAH!"

that popped out with that oratory.

14. That cat picture in your post

made me blow beer through my nose! It's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

[Sydnie]

12. It was amazing

I'm enjoying it so far.

[bdamomma]

7. I'm watching another Sorkin creation

should be good.

[Garbo 2004]

8. Thanks for the heads' up. I'd forgotten here on the west coast. I don't

watch much broadcast network TV but for Sorkin and company, I'll tune in. :)

11. I had to get on as soon as i could... holly shit.... is this seriously

on NBC. The whole thing was so straight on.

[pooja]

13. Guess they realized where the country really is

Olbermann is most pop. Matty nails the president. and now this show's first introduction exposes MSM for the trash that they are.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

15. I wish this was real...

With that many people who gave a damn.

[pooja]

16. You know... many give a damn... its just not reported...

I was a 9/11 event.. there were a lot of people there and there was a ton of support.. we got so much support it wasn't even funny... but no mention in the paper at all. We care... the big 3 doesn't want to report.

[NYCGirl]

17. Aaron Sorkin gives a damn.

That's why he's a brilliant TV writer.

[tulsakatz]

18. another great show!!!

Of course, we knew that before we saw it........anything that has Sorkin's name on it is bound to be winner!!

At first, when I saw Felicity, I was hoping she was leaving ABC and joining this show instead! But aooarently she was just a guest.......

[Sydnie]

19. I think I'm really going to like this show!

That was one amazing pilot they just showed!

[Minimus]

20. The x-girlfriend going on 700 club and causing the breakup...

that was great!

What a great premiere. I hope the show keeps at it.

21. Tivoing it
