I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The fact that it's included in the title of this thread annoys me every time I see it. It's nowhere near the same league as the other three shows.

My fault. They’re my favourite shows and I had notions about this being a discussion about themes across all I had very probably imagined.
Now it’s just somehwere to have them altogether.

It's fine. I'm biased anyway. I hated The Newsroom so much that it soured me on all Sorkin.

Same!

It's a great celebration of the show and I really love it.

It's crazy to think they were just about all on at the same time.
