Sports Night (1998–2000)
6/10
Above average relationship (comedy)-drama with likable characters but no unique features

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 magnificent

Verdict on Sports Night: Above average relationship (comedy)-drama with likable characters but no unique features.
