		Sports Night is a show about a show about sports (also named Sports Night).
		The heart of Sports Night's comedy is Sorkin's dialogue, often delivered at a rapid-fire pace while at the same time exposing the murkiness that often occurs when people try to put difficult thoughts into words.
		Sports Night struggled to find an audience, its dialogue-based humor not playing very well in situation-comedy-oriented America, and ABC axed it after two seasons.

	SPORTS NIGHT - THE COMPLETE SERIES PLUS PILOT EPISODE DVD
		Heady topics, to be sure, when "Sports Night" is right it represents the best of television in that although its revelations aren't always stunning and its execution can be hamfisted, its ambition--the weight of its hubris--is bracing.
		With little in the way of image-scrub and even less in the way of special features, the 45 episodes of "Sports Night" look fine in the way of a well-produced television show from the late-nineties; the 2.0 audio mix is similarly unsurprising.
		The final irony of "Sports Night" is that a program so often interested in the bankrupt machinations of the studio system is (as evidenced by its summary execution and shoddy release) the victim of the great beast Disney even in its afterlife.

		Sports Night says that the constantly warring emotions of pride and embarrassment feel the same whatever one does for work -- which means you can enjoy the series even if, like me, you'd rather get a tooth pulled than sit through a football game.
		I don't want to overdo my praise for Sports Night, which can get maudlin and can throw out common sense in favor of an obvious sight gag (as when the producer thaws a turkey by setting it atop the lights directly over the anchor desk during a live broadcast).
		But Sports Night is unlikely ever to have such broad appeal, which means it can remain a program written for adults.

	Final Whistle for "Sports Night" - Jun 23, 2000 - E! Online News
		The producers of the axed ABC sitcom have blown the final whistle, ending speculation that their series about the ironies of life behind the scenes of a sportscast might live on at another network or cable channel such as HBO.
		Sports Night creator Aaron Sorkin and executive producer Thomas Schlamme (whose White House behind-the-scenes drama West Wing is now a hit on NBC) issued this statement: "We are tremendously proud of the two seasons' worth of episodes that aired on ABC and felt committed to reviving the show only if this creative integrity could continue."
		Loyal fans, praying for overtime, may have read more than was meant into the final episode--which involved the possible sale of the program's network to a new owner and included a typical Dana monologue about how "the show didn't fail" but she somehow felt responsible for its demise.

		Furthermore, Sports Night's concept -- a behind-the-scenes look at a jock newscast a la ESPN's SportsCenter -- was a golden opportunity to stink up prime time with the sort of smug, smirky, life-drainingly ironic talking heads who've outlasted their naughty-boy novelty status on ESPN.
		But against all odds, Sports Night is a home run, a hole in one, a touchdown -- at once the most consistently funny, intelligent, and emotional of any new-season series.
		And so, most episodes of Sports Night commence with coanchors Casey McCall (Peter Krause) and Dan Rydell (Josh Charles) doing their on-air smart-aleck shtick (after one clip, Casey says, ''That's an incredibly embarrassing moment for any professional athlete, so when we come back, we're going to show it to you a couple of more times'').

	Sports Night - The Complete Series
		Before there was Aaron Sorkin's West Wing, there was Aaron Sorkin's Sports Night, which followed the trials and tribulations of a smart, energetic television staff as they scrambled to put on a nightly cable sports show, not unlike ESPN's SportsCenter.
		Sports Night was every bit as good as its political successor--and in some ways, even better--even though it didn't have the gravitas of, say, running the country on a daily basis.
		You don't need to know anything about sports to appreciate the dynamics of the Sports Night news room (which bears more than a passing similarity to His Girl Friday), and the issues the cast grappled with every week ran from the serious to the frothy, always peppered with snappy Sorkin dialogue.

	'Sports Night' one of best players in season's starting lineup
		US magazine describes "Sports Night" as a show for "sensitive jocks," but it has the potential to appeal to a much broader audience.
		No worries about that with "Sports Night." There's plenty of humor, but be prepared for a show that's predominantly drama.
		He's being modest, because the truth of it is real life has equal doses of humor and drama, and Sorkin is bringing that reality to "Sports Night." He's also pulling a reverse "Ally McBeal," which caught fire with critics and viewers for adding large doses of comedy to a one-hour drama.
