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.

I can't believe how underwhelmed I am with it. For the longest time, all I heard was how great this show was and how it was one of the best written shows of all time. Give me a break.Basically every single character is incredibly annoying & at many times completely insufferable. For the most part I find Dan alright, but besides him, Isaac & Rebecca are the only two characters I don't want to slap every other time they come on screen.I have never been or heard abut a work environment that was so into each other's personal lives. Every one is so involved with everyone else's sh!t and they are all so open about it. It's extremely unprofessional and I've never experienced intrusiveness of that manner at any job or social/work environment I've ever been apart of, and I was in a fraternity.Another thing that bothers me is how they are so mean to Sally. Because she is not apart of the super best friends? Oh, she is gunning to be Dana's replacement. What a b!tch!! You know, because we want Natalie to be the next in line cause she's a good buddy so let's be super rude to this other worker who we aren't great friends with. It doesn't make sense & it makes me hate the characters even more.99.9% of the show takes place in that office/studio. Not showing your characters in any other setting besides the workplace make it limiting. I feel like I'm just watching the same episode over again half the time. And don't say stuff like 'Lost' only took place in one setting. It was a large island outside. Not a confined floor in a building.And one example of something that really bothered me was when Casey went on the View and the clothing assistant approached him afterward and basically called him out for not mentioning the woman who picks out his outfits when Star Jones complimented him on this suit. And then he just took it. What kind of assistant would have the balls to say something like that to the on air talent? Do your job & shut up. Just another dumb thing that was put in to, I don't know, add drama to the show? It would most likely not happen in real life, and if it did they would fired for talking to a superior like that.

Last month, my husband bought the DVD series of the above show,I myself had never seen or heard of this show, as I really never took the time for television,(too much nonsense)except maybe for some sports and shows of interest such as nature or history. Well, let me say, that after the end of the 2nd season series, I not only fell in love with the regular characters, but also the guest of that week,the plot,the writing, the incredible acting, the manner in which the show was presented, the expressed mood changes to be able to transform my own senses from fluctuating feelings such as humour,one moment and sadness the next.I was so sad to see the final show, I just could not believe it to be the last. What went amiss, the writing was so profound and intelligent, so truly fun and full of humour, and how one could relate to each character, just so perfect..All I can say is ..BRING IT BACK!!!

Finally, FINALLY, we, that is to say me and the other two people in the United Kingdom who are even aware of the newly launched abc1 satellite/cable channel, get to see Sports Night, the half hour comedy-drama that was too good to stay on the air on which the estimable Aaron Sorkin cut his writer-creator teeth before giving us the West Wing. The first time I saw The West Wing, I sat there afterwards with my mouth agape, and I said to myself, "My God, the sky is falling. The Americans now make better television than we do." I'm taping each episode of Sports Night so that I can wallow anew in wonderful, new (to me) outpourings of brilliance from the Sorkin typewriter. But if I pause or rewind the tape, because I have one of those antiquated video machines where the sound does not come straight back when you press Play, I'm always having to rewind just a little bit more. Because invariably I can see that in that brief silent period - not more than a second or two at most - the actor's lips are going like an express train, and, what is more to the point, I know that unlike just about any other programme I can think of, every syllable will be worth hearing.I'm so glad to finally be able to see this virtually unknown gem. Sorkin has left The West Wing and no doubt has followed the siren's call to the silver screen, but that is a waste. Aaron Sorkin is a man who has developed the art of Television to far greater heights than anyone could have imagined; it is his natural home and I hope we will see a great deal more of his work on the medium he made his own.
