THE NEWSROOM

August 2, 2012 | By David Bianculli

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Sunday’s episode, repeated here tonight, shone its spotlight on Olivia Munn as economics TV reporter Sloan Sabbith – and as unimpressed as I was with Munn as a fake TV correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, that’s how impressed I was with her, playing a “real” TV correspondent, in this latest episode. Which, by the way, was an excellent episode, so people who gave up on Sorkin’s latest show early would be wise to revisit it. And speaking of Sorkin: He appeared at a Television Critics Association HBO panel Wednesday to discuss, and defend, The Newsroom. Read Bill Brioux’s brand new TV Feeds My Family dispatch HERE. Great work, Bill. Thanks.
