Yeah, I noticed it on YouTube too after I posted. Sports Night is there too, but not really formatted correctly.
Seems like at least a few actors are common between a few different Sorkin TV shows and/or movies.
Got a tip for us?

I did not know Limitless got canceled...!
No, you are not alone. Some others that come to mind are:
Rubicon
Lie to Me
Alphas
The Bridge
The Newsroom
I watched Alphas and The Bridge, it was a shame they were cancelled.
Some others that are great to binge, but were cancelled too soon are:
Terriers - the name doesn't make sense, but it is a great, well acted and written show.
Camelot - the Stars version - this was a popular show, but there were scheduling conflicts, so they cancelled it.
Firefly - a very unique show
Twin Peaks - very weird show, but good news, ShowTime is bringing it back with the original cast for season 3, 25 years later.
Being Human (US) - this show had 5 seasons I think, but the final season seemed rushed like it was cancelled too soon.
Angel - another show that had a few seasons but ended on a cliff hanger.
Chuck - a great show to binge but it ended a little too soon.
Dark Angel - Cancelled way too soon.
The Riches - Cancelled due to a writer's strike, ended mid season without an ending.
Revolution - it takes a while to warm up to this one, as the beginning is a little goofy, but mid-first season, you will be hooked. It was cancelled without an ending, but the creators of the show published a free online graphic novel of the final season.
All good shows to binge on, just cancelled too soon and might leave you wanting more. Maybe I will think of more and post them later.
I feel as if we could have gotten a little more detail as to where the show was headed from the beginning. The first 3 episodes are very confusing and just leave you asking yourself "What did I just watch" at least in my opinion.
Dark Angel is one of my favourite TV shows. Wish they'd bring it back (but not bloody well reboot it!).
oh wow! I just saw that Dark Angel was created by James Cameron!!
That's a BIG Yes for me - scouring for access to the episodes while writing this!
I liked all the twists and turns. Made for a good show. I think we ended up buying them on DVD and watching them with our Daughter when she was a bit older.
We are currently plodding on through "The Knick". Definitely not one for the faint of heart, with some quite gruesome surgeries taking place. Great production and the storyline hooks you in pretty quickly!
It's a good show. Too bad it seems that season 3 has been basically in limbo for some time, unless they decided not to even go forward with it (although I haven't read about that).
Unfortunately it's been over a year now without anything new about it, so it's probably not really looking all that good.
Just found this recent article that offers some hope yet for the Knick season three.

Yeah, that's more or less the latest news, but that back from end of 2015, so it's been some time without anything else new since then. Hopefully something will still happen (and hopefully sooner than later at this point).
I've been watching a few episodes of Pokémon everyday for the past month. Granted it's in French and just being watched for oral comprehension, but it's kind of a fun cartoon for language practice.
I've also been seriously binging XFiles, like Three+ 45 minute-long episodes a day lol. I never watched it growing up and it's addicting. I've made it through two seasons so far

I'm 90% (literally) through the first season of the HBO series The Young Pope, featuring Jude Law in the title role.
It's a stunningly beautiful series: the costumes, sets, and scenery are gorgeously photographed. The soundtrack is an eclectic mix that is sometimes jarringly devoid of what we think of as traditional Church music. (The opening credits in some episodes feature an instrumental cover of All Along the Watchtower, while Jude's character, in full Papal vestments, walks along a hallway filled with animated religious paintings.)
The thing about this show is that it is so utterly refreshing in its story arc. There are not clearly defined villains and heroes (well, maybe one villain). Stories simply don't resolve in the same hackneyed way you think they are going to. Jude Law's (American) Lenny Belardo is not a cool young Pontiff. He's a very Conservative one, a man who refuses to be photographed, and who vows to rid the church of gay priests. He's not a "lovable" character in any traditional TV-role sense.
Definitely worth the investment of your time. Game of Thrones it ain't. For all the good reasons you can think of.

Started up some new to us old series.
Archer, season 1. OMG I love this crass thing
Futurama, season 1. Guess we need a dose of sarcastic humor in our lives. How did I not watch this when it was new?
Still working through the old Invaders, Unforgettable, and Blue Bloods season 5 I think it is.

Archer is one of my favorite shows. It is very addicting.
My father who is in his 70's love the show too. He says the character Archer reminds him of myself in my younger days.
I am not sure if that is a good thing or bad.
They already have something like 3 more seasons of that show in the works (not the OJ case in particular, but the American Crime Story that takes on and explores different true crimes/scandals): http://deadline.com/2017/02/ryan-mu...winsky-scandal-sarah-paulson-cast-1201911254/
