Watch 'The Newsroom' Pilot in Its Entirety on YouTube
HBO has posted the first episode of Sorkin’s divisive new show online in full. It’s not embeddable though, so you’ll have to click through to watch.
I’m not posting this because it’s The Newsroom on YouTube. I didn’t watch The Newsroom and I’m not particularly interested in what Warren Ellis called Studio 60: Part 2.
I’m posting this because HBO put the first episode of a new series on YouTube in its entirety, and that is a very big deal. I’m sure it’s region-locked, which is stupid (and easily circumvented) but it’s such a great step in the right direction for the network, we should give HBO a pizza trophy.
HOLY CRAP WHAT WIL WHEATON SAID!
Read this thing I wrote, then you’ll understand why I’m almost tearing up a bit, right now: http://www.needcoffee.com/2010/09/27/internet-co-opts-your-tv/
Holy Crap..
