I'm sure we're nowhere near as clever, but we totally feel like we are.<br />Jeremy has a tendency to celebrate personal victories by raising his hands in the air and shouting "Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land."Brigid Daull Brockwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808132338148865533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682036990627515116.post-46347273138136534682012-07-24T21:24:37.997-04:002012-07-24T21:24:37.997-04:00I guess it's not plagiarizing if you repeat yo...I guess it's not plagiarizing if you repeat yourself... It is a little disappointing for key tear jerker moments but I don't think "dammit" repeated in every TV show is a Sorkinism. If so I need to find the cameras because he's filming my life. I liked Studio 60, I mean it wasn't West Wing good but it's far better than The Bachelor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682036990627515116.post-41006171674795257072012-07-24T21:08:13.211-04:002012-07-24T21:08:13.211-04:00I'll give a pass on the West Wing and Sports N...I'll give a pass on the West Wing and Sports Night duplications because he was writing them at the same time.

The dialogue. The punchy banter that is just too fast and too forced. Yet I get sucked into his shows anyway. I loved Sports Night back in the day and the only thing I hated about that show was the delivery of the dialogue and it's the same problem I'm having currently with The Newsroom, which I find myself loving despite its close to preachy stance and the same dialogue issue. It's well written and funny and poignant etc., etc., but man, that fast firing dialogue grates on me every time. Thing is, once you notice it you can't UN-notice it. <br /><br />Dude, I am not sure what I'm trying to say here...VEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704685920354554043noreply@blogger.com
