Sports Night marathon continues with Episode 5

by Terri

Sports Night 12Our Sports Night marathon continues tonight with Episode 5, “Mary Pat Shelby,” which originally aired on October 20, 1998.

The synopsis, according to the DVD box: “A disreputable football star guests on the show, which is a big boost, but he ‘reveals’ too much and goes after Natalie in a pre-interview. She later struggles over legal options, and Dana decides to cancel the piece.” Wow, is that a dull and hoaky description for an episode that is one of the series’ most powerful. How much do I love whoever wrote that box copy right now? Not much.

Cue up your DVD and watch this episode with me tonight, and come back during the week for a review, recap, and memorable lines.

About Watching Studio60

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was a show about making a show -- a Friday night sketch comedy living and dying by the ratings and the buzz and the bottom line. It also turned out to be about the ways that overinflated expectations and caustic criticism can doom a TV drama. Still, if you're a fan of great acting and Aaron Sorkin's way with dialog, there's a lot to love in Studio 60's sole season. Read here to look back at the show, and look forward at what the cast and creative powers are doing now.
