NEWSROOM: SEASON 3 [DVD]

I did not order the correct video. This was not the season 3 I wanted. The one I was watching was with Jeff Daniels.

The character of George Findlay really should have been played by a horse.With him, the suspense is not, as it was once said of a character on another newsroom type show altogether, how he was going to get his other foot into his mouth, but rather how in the world he was going to extract any of his feet, frequnently more rhan two of them at the same time, from it.Or maybe an octupus, except they don't actually have feet.Would actually have preferred to give this one 4.75 stars.Am just not that much into cartoon allegories, even as well done as the final episode "Learning to Fly"

Poor effort at Sienfield spinoff.

What can I say? Part of the collection. Some better than other episodes.

Easily one of the great shows of the decade. It and larry Sanders were the big picks for me of satire at its best on TV. Finkleman deserves more accolades...few people seem to know him outside those in the know. Huge fan.

This DvD turned out to be not the Season Two of the recent Newsroom written by Aaron Sorkin, but a load of rubbish directed by Ken Finkleman. Needless to say, I can only blame myself for ordering Season Two (and three) without checking thoroughly the writer(s) involved. However, I believe that I was mis-sold this junk and will never allow myself to be fooled again.

One of the best written shows we have seen in a long time.

I thought I bought Season II of the Jeff Daniels series. This is production distressingly bad and unwatchable. I will not resell my product as I it would be a unfair to any prospective buyer. I would burn it, but why waste a match?

brilliant

Surprisingly, I found both seasons 1 and 2 of The Newsroom in a bargain bin at a department store and was impressed by its mock-documentary style (this was created before The Office, I believe) and its dark, intelligent humour. Then, I impatiently waited for season 3 to come out on DVD. When I finally got it, I was not disappointed! I definitely do not look at news in the same way after watching the series (supposedly inspired by the CBC). The characters are unlikeable, but you want more of them, and there is a dark preoccupation throughout with sex/love, aging, death and creativity.I only wish there was more--but, all good shows like this must come to a strong ending.

Okay I ordered the wrong Newsroom, I watched this one and it was okay, glad I didn't return it .

Please see the review of Newsroom Season 1 for more information . Really well done satire that isstill completely relevant today.

Amazon represents this to be Season 3 of the US drama series starring Jeff Daniels whereas in fact it is an old Canadian comedy. It is expensive since it is a US import and was a complete waste of money.
