Get Excited for Season 3 of The Newsroom

August is winding down, the Emmy's are almost upon us, and everywhere excitement for the Fall TV schedule is heating up. There is a ton of good television to look forward to and for long-time Aaron Sorkin viewers, the final season of The Newsroom is near the top of the to-watch list.

The Newsroom, for those not familiar, is essentially a misty eyed look at Aaron Sorkin's ideal news program. Sorkin is the writer behind The West Wing, Sports Night, and quite a few good movies (but we're in TV Land right now so forget about those). It's corny and a little bit full of itself. The characters on Newsroom often fall prey to the classic Sorkin tropes. All characters are incredibly smart except when it comes to having any social skills whatsoever, and they're very prone to making speeches.

That being said, the dialogue is crisp and the actors compelling. Plus, its always enjoyable to turn away from, say, The Walking Dead (which is getting grimmer by the episode) and see something closer to utopian than dystopian.

Olivia Munn, who has carved out a nice niche for herself playing financial reporter Sloan Sabith, told Zap2it at Wondercon 2014 that, "The only thing I can speak on is I feel there's a really great feeling of it's a great ride and it's been awesome and it's given me so much. It's helped me be seen in a different way in this business, and for that I am forever grateful."

For now we can only wait, but I'll leave this nice highlight reel here to remind anyone who's forgotten about The Newsroom.
