It’s S1E8 of Sports Night — Thespis! Somehow, functional grown adults believe they are being haunted by a Roman god. Or a Greek ghost. Or something. Meanwhile, Isaac frets about his pregnant daughter, and a dumb joke about a turkey is telegraphed from a mile away. Luckily, Brian and Lex are. Let’s Sorkin’ In It together. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

4.7: Dear Louise (Sports Night S1E7)
Jeremy is writing a letter. And falling in love. And Dana’s getting ready to lip sync to “The Jackal”. Wait, wrong Sorkin show - it must be a dance to “Boogie Shoes”. And the team covers a sad story. Almost as sad as their kerning. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

4.6: The Head Coach, Dinner and the Morning Mail (Sports Night S1E6)
Natalie keeps screwing up, and no one will call her on it. Jeremy’s trying to protect Natalie from seeing death threats — and ends up finding the best place to eat in all of Manhattan.

4.5: Mary Pat Shelby (Sports Night S1E5)
Lex and Brian are at the news desk to record another episode of Sorkin’ In It. This time, the Sports Night team lands a huge interview with a major athlete, but there are surprise conditions. Not only that, but Dana sends Natalie to the pre-interview and… unpleasantness ensues. But, good news, everybody - Dan has a quirky subplot to rise to the challenge: He’s contemplating growing a goatee. Okay. What’s next? We’re Sorkin’ In It. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

4.4: Intellectual Property (Sports Night S1E4)
Dan sang happy birthday to Casey. What a jerk! But at least we get to meet Yeardly Smith, and she’s not voicing a Simpson. Meanwhile Casey is frustrated by a fly. Or Dana’s new boyfriend. Or something. None of this makes sense, but have you looked around lately? Escape from the world, friends. Join us. Sorkin’ in it. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.
