Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Tash Jones It's a Sorkin show. It's witty. It's comical. It's fast-paced. It has an emphasis on elements other than the sexual relations of the characters, whilst maintaining a subtle longing from the viewer of those romantic desires. There are some love stories (Dana & Casey, Jeremy & Natalie, and Dan &….well, Dan and his adoring ego probably) but the premise of the show manages to place them lower down in importance than the actual running of the show (there's a joke here, I'm pretty proud of it). Peter Krause (Casey) shines in his role. Josh Charles (Dan) is perfect for his. I personally think that Felicity Huffman (Dana) is the standout actress of the show, this paralleled with the dialogue stand this show miles above most of the sitcoms I have watched. Sorkin creates a fictional Sports News show, and somehow gets everything right. I'm under the impression that Sorkin can do no wrong. It's like the Newsroom, but funnier!
aasha_murthy Absoltely terrific show - one of the best ever made - quick, clever and strong messaging - sexy, sophisticated characters - very distinctive! This is a show that was cut short for no apparent reason - maybe almost too good and maybe too far ahead of it's time then. It can surely be re-launched - I for one, fervently hope so!! All the characters are real and are all incredibly attractive, mainly because of their flaws, not really their more stellar qualities. They are fallible, human and the depth revealed through the writing shows great amounts of empathy and sensitivity. My favorite is of course Casey - intense, vulnerable and slightly twisted - he is surely extremely attractive to most women and Peter Krause nails it!
KenDoRin This is a wonderful show! I own the DVD set. I did not watch it as I was 5 when it aired the pilot. I had never heard of it until 1 1/2 years ago. My mother bought the boxed set. Since then, I was hooked. My only regret is that the show did not last longer, as Robert Guillaume (Isaac Jaffe) retired after his terrible stroke. The cast and crew were too loyal to continue without him, so the show went off the air. Though the humor of the show may not be aimed at people under 10 (they would not understand its humor), the show is a perfect balance of what a situational comedy needs: not enough normal everydayish parts to bore you a bit like Seinfeld does, but it also doesn't have blunt slapstick comedy that you can get tired of, like Friends. This comedy is guaranteed to entertain the family!
STINGHERSHEY This show is amazing. I can't even believe it only was on 3 seasons, I would like to know if there are any lost episodes. My husband and I love, love, love this show. It is philosophical, thought provoking, holds symbolism, the communication dialog is with rapid succession, incredibly paced, just amazing. The shows flows with humor, and is really not about sports. Its about relationships, the ups & downs of life, new discoveries, etc..I just can't express enough how wonderful this show is. This is and was the best show ever in the history of television. I just don't understand why it was canceled. Oh, might I also say the direction is awesome. I have not seen West Wing, but will be checking this out. I am just not into politics. But am curious about this show. In closing, I wish they would bring Sports Night back, and all the original characters. Thank you.
