Sports Night - The Complete Series (10th Anniversary Edition) DVD Review

[TJ]

It’s a show about a show about sports -- that isn’t about sports at all.

Debuting on ABC in 1998, Sports Night was an innovative half-hour program about a team of smart and likeable people who put on a live sports cable newscast much like ESPN’s SportsCenter. This team is funny, disciplined, capable, and fast-thinking -- a group of consummate professionals...but in their personal lives not so much.

This show has an absolutely fantastic cast. Great acting is when you can turn off that little voice inside your head that tells you these people are actors and actually makes you believe, even if only for a split second, that what you see is a sort of second reality. And Sports Night’s extremely talented cast absolutely shines in this regard:

The main cast:
Peter Krause (Dirty Sexy Money): Casey
Josh Charles (Six Degrees): Dan
Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives): Dana
Sabrina Lloyd: Natalie
Joshua Malina (Big Shots): Jeremy
Robert Guillaume (Benson): Isaac

These principal cast members, plus the wonderful supporting cast around them give you a glimpse into the inner workings of the tensions of a working TV studio while at the same time creating some of the best comedic and dramatic moments on television before, during, or after. I REALLY love this show.
