The TVI Take
Aaron Sorkin's first television series about a cable sports news show. The walk-and-talk style and the rapid-fire dialogue that defined The West Wing originated here.
Educational about sports broadcasting. Exceptional ensemble (Peter Krause, Josh Charles, Felicity Huffman) and formally important as Sorkin's laboratory.
