Artwork is on the link above. Surprised there is 12 Audio commentaries for the 8 episodes. I guess a few of the episodes have more than 1 commentary.

This show IMO was quite underrated last season. It's really dark humor, but it ended up fricking hilarious.

I dunno, I finally watched this season on HBOGo, and it was just okay for me. I think this kind of dulled the impact after seeing The Newsroom. After that, Veep felt a little hollow. But damn Anna Chlumsky turned into quite the hot babe. Not sure if that's enough to pick up on Blu.

Loved the show, Digital Bits seems to think this is a DVD only release though.

How can you compare Veep and The Newsroom?

Veep is a 30 minute dark comedy and The Newsroom is a 1 hour dramedy about the TV news business.

Those are both excellent shows, but The Newsroom stood out as an unbelievably high level of television, in my opinion. Either way, good news about Veep being released.

Both are meant to be satires calling out US politcs. While I respect Josh's opinion, for me it's definitely The Newsroom >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Veep.

I like Aaron Sorkin's other shows (even Studio 60), but The Newsroom plays like a collection of all of his worst tics as a writer shashed together into one place. If he's going to be so balls-out preachy in every episode, it would help if he actually knew anything about the topic he's ranting on. Unfortunately, as demonstrated by the show, Sorkin knows absolutely nothing about broadcast journalism. That he would have the audacity to lecture others about what good journalism should be, while having no conception of how the profession actually works, is embarrassing.

Veep, meanwhile, is smart and funny, and is written by people who know politics inside and out. Veep is everything that The Newsroom wishes it could be.
