Although I almost always choose drama over comedy, gotta go with Veep. A lot of things about "We Just Decided To" bothered me.

From an Aaron Sorkin fanatic, The Newsroom pilot was horrendous. And from what I hear, it keeps getting worse.

What were your biggest problems with the pilot?

Veep. The Newsroom seemed self indulgent and preachy.

Totally agree with what Slate said re: Sorkin. He's trying to make a big important show about primetime news in a world where no one watches primetime news.

Newsroom.

The Newsroom pilot didn't do much for me, whereas Veep got me hooked immediately.

Newsroom.

Veep just bored me, while at least the newsroom was an oddly watchable disaster.
