While Aaron Sorkin would go on to create his magnum opus in the drama realm, he got his big break in the world of television with the short-lived sitcom Sports Night. A Sportscenter parody was a pretty ripe idea for a comedy-drama when Sorkin dreamed it up in the late ’90s. Classic Sorkin tropes abound like the unspoken office romance — the nerd who’s good with words, and soaring speeches that no one could ever possibly spout off the top of their head. That’s what makes Sports Night great.
