Sports Night marathon continues with Episode 8
Our Sports Night marathon continues tonight with Episode 8, “Thespis,” which originally aired on November 17, 1998.
The synopsis, according to the DVD box: “The ghost of Thespis is running amok on the set as a nervous Dana practices defrosting a Thanksgiving turkey on the show’s set lights, and the gang experiences other troubles.” Those troubles, which certainly deserve a mention, include Isaac’s daughter having an emergency C-section and Casey not remembering the anniversary of his first show with Dan. Best of all, though, is the frequent opportunity Jeremy has to show his impressive mastery of obscure factoids, in this case of gods and ghosts.
Cue up your DVD and watch this episode with me tonight, and come back during the week for a review, recap, and memorable lines.
