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.
