Summary: This is comedy?
Review: I have tried to like this show. I have really tried. I watch episodes of this show mostly to try to figure out how anyone could think that this is funny. In the case of this show, people seem to confuse fast moving, dry, humorless dialogue with witty banter.

Summary: One of the best
Review: Actually, I watch very little television, but I was one of the few people that became addicted to Sports Night back when it was originally aired. A friend introduced me too it, and I was hooked.
Sports Night was a program I anxiously awaited each and every week. It broke my heart when this critically-acclaimed didn't catch on with the viewing public and the network pulled it. Personally, I believe a big reason it never caught on was because of poor marketing by the network, but that's another story. Ever since, I tell all of the West Wing fans I come across that they should have watched Sports Night.
Anyway, it's great that the show is being released on DVD so fans can relive the brilliance of the writing and character development that was displayed in the show. I'll be the first to buy it when it's released. It's also a little sad, though. Sports Night is a show that ended far earlier than it should have.

Summary: Perfect rating
Review: All I can say is that its about time!!! This is the best show that ever graced my TV screen. Why it was cancelled I will never know. If you have never seen this show and aren't sure if you should by this watch repeat on comedy central just once and you will be hooked.

Summary: Can't wait!
Review: For those of you who said you never watched Sports Night when it was on TV, shame, shame, shame. But I'm so glad that you were able to see the reruns on Comedy Central. I was very happy when I caught those reruns because I was so disappointed when the show went off the air. You don't know how totally PUMPED I was when I saw that this DVD set was going to be available. I can't wait to get it!

Summary: Most under rated show ever
Review: I have been a fan of this show since it started, seen every episode and have been eagerly anticipating the dvd release. This is easily the most under rated show ever, I dont know HOW only 2 seasons were televised and now you can only see it 3 in the morning on comedy central, anyway. If you like witty, smart, thought out comedy. Actors with the most on screen chemistry (as well as the best) Ive ever seen. Not to mention some of the best drama, scenes that actually suck you in ........ ok, getting cheesy now. Trust me you will understand when you see it.

Summary: ABC - bigger [dummies] would be hard to find
Review: I can't say anything better about Sport's Night than what's already been said. Best show on TV. Ever. Canceling this show to air 5 nights of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is akin to burning every copy of Huckleberry Finn to make sure that John Grisham gets enough Shelf Space for eternity. It was brilliant to see ABC fall to bottom of the ratings last year and watch NBC get a huge hit show with Sorkin's second offering, The West Wing. Buy these discs, then go watch the great show "Six Feet Under" with Peter Krause and get a little of your Sport's Night Heroin fix that way.

Summary: Not a sports fan at all, but I LOVE this show
Review: When Sports Night was first on the air, I didn't bother watching it. Why? I'm not really a sports fan, and I figured it wouldn't be anything special. Then I accidentally caught the second half of an episode, and was hooked. Spectacularly well written, acted, shot, etc... it was a rare show, and it's a true shame it was dropped. I had no idea until just now that they were releasing a DVD, and I'm thrilled!

Summary: The best show ever!
Review: "Sports Night" is easily the finest television show ever made. Even better than "The West Wing." If you read this review, ignore the other ones that say "if you like sports..." I don't happen to be into sports and I still adore this show. Sports are merely a MacGuffin for the good stuff.I have often said that Aaron Sorkin is like Shakespeare: even if you didn't understand what they just said, it's EXTREMELY fun to listen to. Money spent on this show will not be wasted.

Summary: West Wing creator's earlier, underappreciated attempt...
Review: Like many, I didn't really discover Sports Night until I caught the repeats on Comedy Central. I saw parts of one or two episodes when they originly ran. Truthfully, the scenes I saw led me to falsely believe that Sports Night was one of those shows where the men were all fools and the women were always right and in control. I was wrong. Men and women are equals in Sports Night in a way that they have been in few programs prior. Both sexes are intelligent, and alternately in control and vulnerable. Sports night is incredibly well written and every bit as intellegint as West Wing but in a very different way. Sports night is more about relationships between individuals where as West Wing covers larger issues such as international relations and even Presidentially sanctioned assassination. But, have no doubt, both shows spring from the same fruitful mind. Sports Night is a welcome addition to any DVD collection.
