SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

How sad is this?

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

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.

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!

This show is highly entertaining, compelling, and extremely well acted. Each episode has a theme/message that is generally delivered powerfully and threaded well throughout the scenes. The on air interplay between the two sports anchors is hilarious. Unfortunately, that's as real as it gets. In their off air interactions, none of the characters sound realistic. They're all washed in the same color and have no real self or dimension. They also seem to be mouthpieces for a man with a message. Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing resolves all the issues that show up in this dramedy. Whether it was because Sports Night was a sitcom or because Aaron Sorkin had some adolescent issues to resolve, the women in the show come off as silly, insecure, and vain. They aren't without their strong points (e.g., capable at work) but they're constantly obsessing over men and rarely have great speeches. The men frequently act self-righteous speeches about how these silly women need to trust that they're not like other men and should be trusted and evaluated on their own merit. He uses the line "don't talk to me like I'm other people" no less than 3 times in the first season. Overall, it's a strong showing, but Aaron Sorkin had a lot of growing up to do when he wrote this one.
