    Attention Trailer: Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom" TV Series

    HBO has unveiled the first trailer for "The Newsroom," an hour-long drama from Aaron Sorkin, the creator of "The West Wing" and the Oscar-winning writer of "The Social Network."

    "The Newsroom" is a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make a nightly cable news program. Focusing on a network anchor (Jeff Daniels), his new executive producer (Emily Mortimer), the newsroom staff (Olivia Munn, Dev Patel) and their boss (Sam Waterston), the series tracks their mission to do the news well in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles - not to mention their own personal entanglements."

    The new show will premiere on HBO on Sunday, June 24th. Check out the trailer below.

    Great news. Sorkin's West Wing seasons were some of the best television I've ever seen. Great characters and brilliant dialogue. Looking forward to this.

    The opening scene was enough to put me off. A maverick newsman who 'gets it' and is not afraid to speak his mind tells America some unwelcome truths and is panned by all sides for being unpatriotic.

    It was predictable, pedestrian and, quite frankly, an insult to most intelligent viewers who expect a little more from HBO drama.

    I am watching it. But I definitely see CJs point, I find some of it an insult to my intelligence. Most intellectual Americans I know feel the same way.
