True Blood - this week's

1. Have given up on Sorkin's Newsroom - I don't like anyone and I find it boring. The pilot was great, but the episodes following it lost me. Too preachy, too sappy, and too relationship oriented. Plus I think Sorkin has some unresolved gender bias issues he needs to sort through.

2. True Blood however, is highly entertaining this season and the tightest written of its entire history on air. I don't know what happened. But all the stories are working for once.
