Saturday night before the radio show I watched the PaleyFest's tribute to NBC's "Revolution" steam online like from Los Angeles.  Regardless of how you regard "Revolution," I tell you it was great fun seeing J.J. Abrams and Jon Favreau talk about it.

Tonight brings Aaron Sorkin (and Jeff Daniels, et al) to talk about HBO's "The Newsroom."  While you're waiting for "Walking Dead" to come on, just click here at 7:30pm PT.
