Toni and I revisited one of our favorite shows from the late 1990s, Sports Night, a sitcom about the cast of a nightly sports highlight show on a fictional cable network loosely based on ESPN and SportsCenter. Aaron Sorkin created Sports Night and West Wing almost simultaneously, but after two seasons writing for both shows, he decided to drop the former and focus on the latter; ratings weren't quite good enough to cause ABC to object. West Wing was alright, I guess, but Sports Night combined several of my favorite things: sports, television, and intelligent/fast-paced humor and dialogue. Best of all, Toni enjoys Sports Night as much as I do, making it a perfect series for us to watch every year or two.
Other series we revisit from time to time include 30 Rock, Community, and Arrested Development.
We re-visit Arrested Development, Alias, Seinfeld, Firefly, Veronica Mars, & I re-visit Picket Fences. I love watching TV shows on dvd/blu-ray! No commercials, no waiting for cliff hangers! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI have only seen two of those shows. Maybe it's time to check out Firefly.
