Similar to “The Newsroom,” “Sports Night” set its action within the production of a television show, a nightly sports-highlights broadcast. It was modelled on ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” which had made Olbermann a star, but which he quit in 1997, in one of the many bitter departures that would come to mark his career. “Sports Night” also introduced America to Sorkin’s distinct verbal rhythms, and retains a following.
Ian Crouch looks at video clips of Sorkin’s “Sports Night,” and analyzes how the show defined the “Sorkin Sound,” and gained a cult following: http://nyr.kr/LjHBKf
Great show!
