The Incomparable

4.9 The Quality of Mercy at 29K (Sports Night S1E9)

It’s the circle of life! By which we mean, Dana goes to see The Lion King on Broadway. Also, Sports Night covers an Everest climb. Brian has corrections for Aaron on mountaineering. And Dan’s looking for a good place to donate his money. Hopefully he’s already a member of The Incomparable.

4.8 Thespis (Sports Night S1E8)

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.

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.

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. And Casey’s mad as hell at a terrible coaching decision. The best decision YOU can make? Checking out this episode of Sorkin’ In It.

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.

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.

4.3 The Hungry and the Hunted (Sports Night S1E3)

Jeremy gets “the call”. Hospitalization ensues. And the “will they or won’t they” storyline between Casey and Dana kicks into high gear — a gear it may never leave.

We don’t love everything, but we do love the character development for Will and Isaac.

And you. We also love you.

4.2 The Apology (Sports Night S1E2)

We owe you an apology. Whoops, our mistake: We owe you a podcast about the Sports Night episode called “The Apology.” Dan must apologize after voicing his support for a group advocating the legalization of marijuana. The episode is as strong as that premise is dated. Except for Josh Malina’s storyline. But that’s okay.

4.1 Pilot (Sports Night S1E1)

It’s season one, episode one. We’re watching Sports Night for this season of Sorkin’ In It. We meet a slew of characters. We deal with that grating laugh track. And we wonder if Casey’s gonna quit the show halfway into the Sports Night pilot. (Spoiler alert: He doesn’t.) Will Brian or Lex quit the podcast in this first episode of our new season? Only one way to find out.

4.0 Season 4: Sports Night

We’re kicking off a brand new season of Sorkin’ In It. And this time, we’re watching Sorkin’s first series: Sports Night. So stick around.
