DVD Reviews of Sports Night: The Complete Series 10th Anniversary Edition
DVD Review: Great show for Fans of Aaron Sorkin's work
Summary: 5 Stars
I have become a big fan of Aaron Sorkin's work, first experiencing it on The West Wing, one of the best TV shows of all time. This show was a couple of years before that and it's a shame it didn't last longer, as it is smart and funny and easy to enjoy. My highest recommendation. His last show Studio 60, I was never able to schedule to see but have since bought the series and it was well done as well. I know it didn't really last a season and my guess would be that the characters and the situation of a late night comedy show wasn't as compelling as TWW. Sports Night isn't serious either, but overall lighter in it's tone and setting.DVD Review: Two seasons weren't enough.
Summary: 5 Stars
Aaron Sorkin can do no wrong on TV, though sadly the American viewer doesn't seem to be smart enough to appreciate him. I will never call this show an equal to the West Wing, but it really isn't trying to be. The characters are professional sports fans and they realize fully that they are not in the business of preserving democracy. But for all the escapism that sports entails, the show reminds us that at sports are also about human excellence. The characters themselves know it and they see their jobs as making sure their viewers remember it too. They don't speak like anyone I've ever met, many come off as neurotic from time-to-time, and they never seem to go anywhere besides the studio or the bar downstairs, but I love watching them all the same. The box set is marred only by its brevity and the occasional ill-conceived laugh track. DVD Review: Aaron Sorkin's second-best TV series
Summary: 5 Stars
Sports Night was a GREAT show for Aaron Sorkin fans to watch. The dialogue is quick, jokes aren't always obvious if you don't pay attention, but man, you'll definitely laugh while watching these episodes!
I never knew that Sports Night and The West Wing overlapped for a season, until getting this box set and looking at the original air dates of the episodes. Aaron Sorkin was writing for two prime time tv shows at the same time!! wow!
if you're a diehard Sorkinite, like me :) you'll notice some similar story lines/situations that are in all his shows. but that will just make you love him even more.
this 10th anniversary edition has great interviews with the cast and pretty good commentaries with producers/editors/actors.
DVD Review: Some of the best writing and acting on Television
Summary: 5 Stars
Sports Night was originally sent to me as Christmas Present many years ago. After lending it out and not getting it back, I had to replace the set. The series stands the test of time. It is one that can be seen multiple times and always leaves you with the wish that more episodes were made.DVD Review: Outstanding show
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched the entire series a dozen times, and every time I enjoy it immensely. Great writing. A show with class and wit, a show that assumes the audience has some intelligence. I strongly recommend the show to my friends, and all have loved it. Getting rid of the annoying early laugh track was an improvement.
Description of Sports Night: The Complete Series 10th Anniversary Edition
With breakout and memorable performances by Josh Charles (In Treatment), Robert Guillaume (Benson), Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), Peter Krause (Six Feet Under), Sabrina Lloyd (Sliders) and Joshua Malina (The West Wing), this was writer/producer Aaron Sorkin's (A Few Good Men , The American President) first television series. And it was director Thomas Schlamme's first collaboration with Sorkin. The pair, who would continue to click brilliantly with The West Wing and Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip, may not have known it at the time, but with Sports Night they defined a new style and raised the bar for all television programs to follow.Critically acclaimed when it debuted on ABC in 1998, Sports Nigh was an innovative half-hour program about a team of funny, smart and likeable people who put on a daily live sports cable newscast, much like ESPN's SportsCenter. They are a group of consummate professionals whose personal lives operate in apparent chaos, communicating every uncensored thought and feeling through a libretto of witty and honest chatter over the hum of the separate-but-integrated live show-within-the-show.
