The Incomparable

4.12 Smoky (Sports Night S1E12)

Dan thinks it’s time for Casey to “get back out there.” Just as long as there’s no flirting with Sally. Meanwhile, Dana can’t keep Isaac’s secret, and Jeremy gets one of the funniest lines in the whole series. Brian and Lex are there to laugh… and Sorkin’ In It.

P.S. Go Birds!

4.11 The Six Southern Gentlemen of Tennessee (Sports Night S1E11)

Dan is desperate for Isaac to step up and encourage the president of the network to fight racism. You’ll never guess whether Isaac steps up. (Spoiler alert: He does.) Also, Donna Moss appears in a storyline that’s good with an execution that’s less good. Our thanks to Brian Warren, Lex Friedman, and the whole Sorkin’ In It team.

4.10 Shoe Money Tonight (Sports Night S1E10)

Dan’s in the zone and can’t wait to head out to Atlantic City, but fate has other plans. Poker will still be played, though. Jeremy’s emotions may be played with too, as he and Natalie work through some things. Also, Isaac is getting smaller, and Dana lacks any compassion. At least Brian and Lex are here, so we all can try Sorkin’ In It.

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.
