Sports Night marathon continues with Episode 9
It’s taken a little stumble due to 451 Press server issues, but I’m about ready now to get our Sports Night marathon back on track with Episode 9, “The Quality of Mercy at 29K,” which originally aired on December 1, 1998.
The synopsis, according to the DVD box: “Dana realizes a joy for theater she never knew before, while the crew gears up for a live remote from Mount Everest as climbers approach the summit.” I remember very little about this episode, other than Dana’s initial humorous disdain for Broadway theater, her assumption that she could just call up the box office and get Lion King tickets, and then her over-the-top rapture when she got back from the show. Bit of ABC/Disney product placement there maybe, but still pretty funny.
Cue up your DVD and watch this episode with me tonight, and come back during the week for a review, recap, and memorable lines.
