    The Newsroom had so so many good parts. It's a shame about the rest of it.

    Season 5 and the start of 6 were awful enough that I never picked it back up for 7 or 8, though I heard it recovered somewhat. I love Alan Alda, and seasons 1-4, so I should probably try to get round to it one day.

    Yeah, Alda was great too. 7 was the last season, though.

    What I really love about BoJack Horseman is they don't fall into that later-day Simpsons trap with the guest stars

    They get people to actually play characters besides themselves, and actually do new voices

    Jake Johnson is a frequent guest star on that show and you don't really guess it's him, because he's not just doing Jake Johnson, he is doing a cartoon voice for this character

    Jake Johnson had one of my favorite lines from this latest season of Bojack
    Don't listen to it now! It's too lyrically relevant!

    Give me $75 and I'll teach you how to write like Aaron Sorkin.

    Think of the savings!

    People say that when they like dialogue, regardless of how apt it actually is

    I've gotten that one too, but just because my dialogue is fast and wordy. Shane Black would be an infinitely better point of comparison, if still not quite right, but folks just tend to not now how to talk about dialogue.

    I've gotten both Sorkin and Black, depending on what I was writing.

    But I am also not accomplished outside of a few plays being produced and a few short stories being published so

    Sorkin Black is pretty good. Those scenes of Tatiana Maslany walking and talking with herself are really well done.

    I wasn't familiar with who Jake Johnson was, so I googled his name. Of course the first suggestion for a Google of any actors name is "*'s wife."
