Sports Night

Lawdy, where have I been? No Internet connection at home. Trying to catch up on lost sleep. Making pesto. And watching too many episodes of Sports Night, Aaron Sorkin's other well-written and fast-talking drama/comedy.

In watching it, you will recognise the narrative, tone and even some of the faces - Joshua Malina and Janel Moloney - that later appear on The West Wing and Studio 60. The ever-resplendent William H. Macy even makes a memorable cameo.

Oh, but there's no Amanda Peet - sorry!

It's entertaining stuff. Really. The only hiccup I occasionally experience is watching Peter Krause being awkward and not-cool and conservatively dressed and so not Nate. I long for the edgy, hot restlessness of Nate Fisher, don't you?
