The_Smoking_GNU My Tweets about Sports Night while binge watching the show:Watching "Sports Night", so many familiar faces.Sports Night, end of season 1, the workplace relationship drama is starting to grate on me.(With hindsight) Y2K episodes in TV shows are really lame.After one and a half seasons of Sports Night I still don't have a clue what good sports reporting is supposed to look like.Sports Night reminds me of how boring American sports are. At this point most of the Sorkinness I enjoyed on The West Wing has vanished."By the way, I met a girl named Suzy today. It sounds like she's the preferred vacation spot for all the men you date."A "Hooker with a Heart of Gold" storyline.It seems I'm not the only one who is watching Sports Night / The Newsroom and thinks, was I wrong to love The West Wing?Sorkin's Sports Night is just another mediocre show, but the scene involving the punchline "You're wearing my shirt, Gordon." is magnificentVerdict on Sports Night: Above average relationship (comedy)-drama with likable characters but no unique features.
SnoopyStyle Sports Night is basically Aaron Sorkin's first big success on TV. It's an inside look on the workings of a fictional sports show like ESPN Sportscenter. It stars Josh Charles, Peter Krause, Felicity Huffman, Joshua Malina, Sabrina Lloyd, and Robert Guillaume. It was some of their first big hit. At least it was a showcase of all of their acting skills, and it must be considered as some of their best work.When it first came on, I loved the dialog. Sure other shows had rapid fire talking, but a lot of times it's deteriorates into a screaming mess. Aaron wrote dialog like music. It flows from one character to another. It was a pleasure to watch and listen to. And it proved to be the hallmark for all of Aaron Sorkin's work to come.
Tash Jones It's a Sorkin show. It's witty. It's comical. It's fast-paced. It has an emphasis on elements other than the sexual relations of the characters, whilst maintaining a subtle longing from the viewer of those romantic desires. There are some love stories (Dana & Casey, Jeremy & Natalie, and Dan &….well, Dan and his adoring ego probably) but the premise of the show manages to place them lower down in importance than the actual running of the show (there's a joke here, I'm pretty proud of it). Peter Krause (Casey) shines in his role. Josh Charles (Dan) is perfect for his. I personally think that Felicity Huffman (Dana) is the standout actress of the show, this paralleled with the dialogue stand this show miles above most of the sitcoms I have watched. Sorkin creates a fictional Sports News show, and somehow gets everything right. I'm under the impression that Sorkin can do no wrong. It's like the Newsroom, but funnier!
Psychedk Why do all the good shows get canceled? I was captivated by this witty, intelligent, and very serious sitcom about the life on a sports channel. The interaction between especially Josh Charles and Peter Krause as Dan and Casey is highly intense and believable, and alone makes it all worth watching the show. This, along with the very clever scripts, and an unusual depth to the characters, make Sports Night much more resemble a drama series than a comedy show. It doesn't deliver any predictable one-liners and superficial plots, but paints a picture of a stressing working schedule, where friendships have to be strong to survive the day. And the acting is just brilliant by all. I cannot recommend this show enough!
