Summary: incredibly good TV
Review: If you missed the show on TV, pick up these DVDs! I'm glad I did, for Sports Night is one of the finest and well-written shows I've ever seen. The chemistry between all the characters is amazing, and the flow and structure and dynamic nature of every episode make it thoroughly addictive television.

Summary: I missed this show during it's first run..
Review: I missed Sports Night during it's run on ABC (I was working afternoons). During a cross-country airline flight, they showed an episode of "Sports Night" on the plane. I immediately did research on the show and found it was on Comedy Central in the early AM. I have been taping the show ever since. I have yet to see all of the episodes and am hoping/praying I get the DVD set for Xmas (or else I'm buying it Dec. 26th).I can honestly say that this show hooked me from that one episode on the plane.......

Summary: Here's the thing...
Review: Achingly good. Impossibly smart. Characters created with warmth and heart. Unimprovable, except to excise the annoying artifical laugh track.
Since I'm allowed only 1000 words, and clearly that's insufficient, better to stop here, and just pop in another disc.
You should too.

Summary: Great show
Review: I picked up this DVD set, and have now watch all but the last two discs, which by the time you read this I will have:-) great show. Reminds me just how good TV is suppose to be. If you like West Wing, but get tired of the politics, you will like this show. I love this set. Well worth my money

Summary: Great show with great characters!
Review: I loved "Sports Night" when it was on ABC. I can relate to many of the characters and the behind-the-scenes events, having worked in Broadcasting myself for several years. The charcters on the show reminded me of many of the types of people that you run across in Television, and in life in general. This show seemed to be more about the live's of the characters outside of their studio work for a sports network more so than it revolved around sports. Robert Guillaume is excellent as the executive producer of the program depicted in the show. The producers of "Sports Night" even tried to include Mr. Guillaume's stroke into the story line on the show by also having Issac suffer a stroke that left him out of the studio for some time. I can certainly relate to the struggles of the characters on the show trying to pull the ratings for their show up as well. I worked at a station that has had ratings problems, and I know what it's like to struggle with what the characters went through. I don't know why ABC decided to cancell this show. Maybe they thought the characters didn't have any other stories to tell that hadn't already been told in the two year run of the show. There was some talk at one time about possibly another network picking up "Sports Night" and continuing the story, but it doesn't look like this is going to happen. If you love a great show with great characters and great storyline, this is a DVD you should buy!

Summary: Why it was cancelled...
Review: I haven't seen the DVD's but I loved the show. Since several people are making comments about why the show was cancelled, remember that it was written by Aaron Sorkin who was simultaneously (and frantically) writing The West Wing. One show had to go and West Wing won out. This show was not cancelled due to quality or lack of a following, but mainly due to one brilliant writer's inability to maintain two excellent projects at once.

Summary: Mildly amusing
Review: I caught a few episodes of this show when it aired and laughed a few times. The problem is that it could never decide whether it was a comedy or a drama. As a drama it was a complete failure. There is nothing interesting about a behind-the-scenes look at a sports network. Who cares if the lead story is "Martinez has a no-hitter going into the 7th" or "Kordell Stewart demands to be traded"? As for the comedy- it consisted solely of characters exchanging sarcastic remarks. That gets pretty tedious after a while, even if the characters are somewhat attractive.

Summary: The smartest show ever canceled
Review: If you can't stand the fact that a TV show doesn't have a laugh track so you know when to chuckle, this show probably isn't for you. That accounts for the handful of negative reviews. And if you're a fan of David Mamet and somehow missed this, do not walk, RUN, drive, swin, canoe, waddle, or swing to your local DVD store and get this.
The characters were real and compelling and I really, really wish I could have dinner with any one of them. Each brought a totally different part of this ensemble piece that was almost never cookie cutter (OK, Jeremy just a little bit, but even then he was a weather/sports nut in addition to being your average geek).
I miss this show terribly and have told about 6 people that I want the DVD set for Christmas. At one point I had a bout a dozen episodes I cycled through on Tivo. I've always wondered why people would own a TV series on Tape/DVD. Waiting for this one reminds me why.

Summary: Absolutely Magnificent
Review: As I watch the episodes, I am continuously amazed that this show did not run for more than 2 seasons. I laugh out loud and am moved to goose bumps at the same time -- but always, always, I am thoroughly engrossed. I think it's a real shame that ABC didn't try to find a better time slot for this program, which is easily the best I've seen in 15 years.

Summary: Very Funny, Very Smart, Very, Very Good
Review: Could this be one of the greatest sitcoms of all time? Yes! Sports Night is a show that doesn't talk down to it's audience. All of the scripts are smart, funny, and touching all at the same time. All of the actors are great. From Joshua Charles and Peter Krause (Dan and Casey) down to the guys in the control room, everyone is great. You don't even have to be a sports fan to appreciate the show. It is very rare when a television show reaches perfection. This show did it early and stayed that way through it's woefully short run on prime-time television.
