Sports Night

Sports Night was a workplace dramedy that aired on ABC and starred Josh Charles, Peter Krause, Felicity Huffman, Joshua Malina, Sabrina Lloyd, and Robert Guillaume. Created by Emmy Award-winning writer Aaron Sorkin, Sports Night revolved around a fictional sports news show of the same name. The show features co-anchors Dan Rydell (Josh Charles) and Casey McCall (Peter Krause), Executive Producer Dana Whitaker (Felicity Huffman), researcher and associate producer Jeremy Goodwin (Joshua Malina), senior associate producer Natalie Hurley (Sabrina Lloyd), and managing editor Isaac Jaffe (Robert Guillaume). William H. Macy often guest starred as the show's ratings advisor. The show focused on the relationships between its characters, such as the burgeoning romances between Dana and Casey and between Natalie and Jeremy. Set mostly in the office, the Sports Night crew struggles to capture ratings while still putting together a respectable program for the show's parent company, Continental Sports Channel. The series featured elements that are Sorkin trademarks, such as the "Walk and Talk," where characters walk from one location to another while in conversation. Despite a tremendous ensemble cast and brilliant writing, Sports Night struggled in the ratings from the start and was discontinued after 2 seasons so that its creator, Aaron Sorkin, could focus on his new show, "The West Wing." Sports Night became recently available to watch on Netflix. MORE
