Aaron Sorkin didn”t know how “The Newsroom” would end when he began writing the final season
“For most of the time, I didn”t know how the show was going to end,” he says. “I would have small images of what I wanted to see. But the closer I got to the end of the season in terms of writing, the more I was able to see the end of the season finale. Once we got there, it happened more easily than I thought it was going to.”

The mystery of “The Mysteries of Laura” is how such an awful show got made
“In this case,” says Tim Goodman, “nobody had the guts to say, 'This is a terrible script. It should be completely rewritten by someone who can write.' Nor did they say, later, 'We just pissed away millions of dollars on this crappy pilot. Can we just agree that we've made a horrible mistake, not pick this up and pretend it never happened?” Instead, everybody must have ignored the blaring warning signs and stayed silent when given the chance to speak up. Who knows? Maybe a pig stood on a buzzer at some audience testing facility and here we are.” PLUS: The show”s plot is generic to the point of absurdity, this could be the fall”s worst new show, it follows the horrid “Can women have it all?” genre of television show that should be outdated in 2014, and here”s a rundown of all the screamingly bad clichés.

“Red Band Society” is “Fault in Our Stars” meets “Glee” – and that”s a good thing
The Fox drama starring Octavia Spencer is a “wonderful little show,” says Kevin Fallon. “We say ‘little' not because it appears shoddily filmed or small in scale, but because there”s something understatedly grand about the fact that the series trades in emotion as special effects in much the same ways that other series trade in CGI, gore, explosives, and sex.” PLUS: “Red Band” tries to have its cake and eat it too, it has a tone that is a carefully calculated balance of humor and sentiment, its crassness outweighs any charm, its one part teen drama and one part edgy medical drama, and its tone wobbles wildly as it overcorrects away from sentimentality and then straight into it.
