I never saw Sports Night when it was on television, but watched the 3-DVD set as fast as I could. The characters are witty and deep; they make mistakes and have anxieties like real people, but with better teeth and hair and comebacks; they make us as viewers wish that they were our own circle of friends. This final episode gave a sense of precariousness, with the network being sold, but also of preciousness of the present and hope for the future. I will watch anything Aaron Sorkin wishes to write, and any production in which these excellent actors appear. This makes me want to see all of the West Wing in a marathon.

I have absolutely loved discovering 'Sports Night' and rate it highly amongst Aaron Sorkin's other TV shows.
This final episode doesn't wrap everything up, there's a sense they didn't know whether there'd be a third series or not, but it does provide some fitting conclusions.
Wonderfully written (of course) and performed, this was a joy!
