Casey McCall and Dan Rydell are sports anchors and best friends. At 'Sports Night', their nightly cable program, the two display their unique talent and skills in reporting up-to-the-minute...
Filled with great banter and wonderful chemistry between the cast members, it is a joy to watch. Or, it is except for when it's heartbreaking... It is great television.
[Sports Night] featured crazy presenters, driven producers and some of the snappiest dialogue ever to make it on air. It was funny and furious, equally at home with hard themes as it was with light-hearted romance.
A comedy laced with sincerity, Sports Night is about a cable show by that name, resembling ESPN's Sports Center, but it works perfectly well for viewers who can't tell a Met from a Yankee (trust me).
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.
Once in a while a truly bright situation comedy comes along - thoughtful, good-hearted, and smart enough to take on real human issues and in 22-1/2 minutes tell a good story.
The real stars of Sports Night, though, are Sorkin's words, and the tightrope act that the show pioneered on television was combining those words and that inimitable style with human actors.
One of the greatest short-lived shows of all time, Aaron Sorkin's behind-the-scenes take on a show very like ESPN's SportsCenter was quite simply too good for television.
