Sports Night, that 45-episode half-hour drama-dy that introduced the TV viewing public to dialogue magician Aaron Sorkin, is out with a 10th Anniversary DVD set.
If you remember the series from the late 90's, you know why this is such a happy thing.
If you've never seen Sports Night, do it. Now. Never mind the stellar cast (Robert Guillaume, Felicity Huffman, Peter Krause, and my favorites Sabrina Lloyd and Joshua Malina). Even if you're not a sports fan, don't worry; the TV show the characters are making are just the platform. The appeal is in the characters and the story.
If you're still not convinced, consider: this is the series that convinced NBC to make the first two seasons of The West Wing.
Two seasons. 45 episodes. One of the two or three best TV series of the decade.

Totally agree with you. I'm as happy as you are. Sports Night is one of the finest tv shows ever. Unfortunately it also was one of those great programs that people didn't watch.
