Smart writing, talented actors playing realistic characters and a pace and cinematography reminiscent of HBO's The Larry Sanders Show.

The best, must succinct endorsement of Sports Night I can give is that I unabashedly love the show and yet I watch zero sports and never turn on ESPN.
November 05, 2015
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.
November 05, 2015
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).

[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.

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.
November 05, 2015
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.

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.
November 05, 2015
Still, Sports Night's freshness is inspiring, and its potential is great.
November 05, 2015
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.
