Espo...FINALLY...a Sports Night brother :)

I have watched them through at least 5-10 times, and I just turned them on the other day because I was bored.


One of my favorite all-time Sports Night exchanges:

Agent: "You guys will always be a 3rd place network!"

Danny: "Yeah, but that's all going to change when I grow a goatee."

Casey: "He's just crazy enough to do it too."
That is one of the great exchanges. There is so many great quotes from that show.

Man I’m here in my home office posting and watching TV. I just saw a commercial for the new season of Lost. It really fired me up to go attack the mailman and get my next DVD of Lost. If Blockbuster failed and didn’t deliver on said date, I’m going to have a nervous breakdown. (6 more minutes)

I’m trying to convince my 6 year-old that he is feeling really rotten. And that he needs a few days to recover before his big soccer game on Saturday. I could make a lot of hay on my movies and shows if I could camp out here at home.

I'd just go buy it :)

Oops, Big D (my son) roped me into another game of Stratego and ATV on PS2. We just went to the mailbox and I got 1 of the 2 that I was hoping for. 3 more episodes of Freaks and Geeks, here I come! It's about time for Big D to take a nap.

Well, Big D wasn’t tired, so we played another game of Stratego. I’m hoping a good Nickelodeon show comes on soon, because I want to start cranking out disk 3 of F&G. We've played 9 games of strategy now.

Well, we played some more stratego, and ATV. Mrs. Bing will be home pretty soon, so I need to start my "stuck home all day with a sick kid" look. I need to escape to the treadmill and watch some F&G. Big D just wouldn't fall asleep. I'm starting to wonder if he was really sick.

Hey CM, I started watching disc one this weekend. I am seriously loving this show. I am making copies of the discs before I return them and should continue cranking through them in the next few weeks. :thumbup:

I love you :)

So happy to see someone watching them...they get better...and when you finish the show, you'll likely have a few tears in your eyes.

In the 6-7 episodes I have watched so far, the show has grown a lot. Robert Guillume's character is very good. I was thinking how I would differentiate the show from other network fare and all I could come up with is that SN has heart.

BTW, I looooove Natalie. I want to find a girl like that.

It has a lot of heart, and you almost immediately care for the characters.

Heck, even Jeremy after his interview had you loving him!

Natalie is hotness though, I agree...awesome.

It is nice to see a few other people who love this show as much as me. The show and characters just grow on you. By the end i found myself wondering what happened in their lives and how things would have worked out if the show were aloud to continue on. I think that the Studio 60 could benefit a little bit if Sorkin showed some heart to get people hooked to the characters.

I usually watch the series all the way through once a year...always makes me happy :)

I'm still watching. I am about 1/2 way done. This show is so freaking enjoyable.

I was shocked when Gordon was wearing Casey's shirt! :shock:

That was an awesome moment.

Just wait until the next when Danny takes matters into his own hands. From that evolves one of my most favorite lines of dialogue in the show.

Focker girl? You mean Dana?

Remind me about that episode again?

Sorry, Rebecca played by the lovely Teri Polo of "Meet the Parents" fame.

"Jeremy can't figure out how to report a great story no-one understands. Natalie doesn't accept Jeremy's attempts to break up with her. Rebecca gives Dan her decision. Dana starts losing things and Casey doesn't want to stop the Jerry Falwell jokes."

Looks like I have two more eps in season 1 to go.

Yeah, she breaks Dan's heart, not Casey's, that's why I was completely lost :)

I love Rebecca...those were some great episodes. The one with the tape of the game they took back to the hotel was awesome.

Season 2 is great...the final episode should make you cry...or at least, well up :)

Well, the finale for season 1 brought a single tear to my eye when

Issac came back. I was into the episode and totally didnt see it coming.

Totally, I didn't see that coming either.

Yeah, the photo at the end of them all...that was a great moment.

I loved the end of season 1 but like Mike said the end of season 2 is amazing. Definitely makes you well up.
