YES YES YES YES YES!!
From Home Media Magazine:
Shout! Factory will release Sports Night: The Complete Series — 10th Anniversary Edition, a new eight-DVD collection of the Emmy-winning 1998-2000 comedy-drama series created by Aaron Sorkin (screenwriter of the recent Charlie Wilson’s War). The set is slated to hit shelves Sept. 30
It's important to understand this. Comedy Central got syndication rights, I chuckled at a few jokes at 2 AM and after spotting a now laughably fat DVD package of the whole series at the now non-existent Suncoast at the Deerbrook Mall, expressed interest in it to my mother on a whim. And on a similar and well-intentioned whim, I recieved the set for Christmas '02. This was the beginning of my romance. Sports Night quickly stole the keys to a special compartment of my heart, unlocked by an extraordinary truth held by words. They attacked, they penetrated, they delighted, they moved, they lived. These words came from the hands of Aaron Benjamin Sorkin. To get a more complete picture of my mind, Aaron Sorkin was Bruce before Bruce was Bruce. He held the same place. So if The West Wing was his Born to Run then Sports Night was his The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle; loose, rambunctious, thrilling, imperfect, over-reaching, stunning, falling beauty. And before he would make his Human Touch in Studio 60, he wrote the words that soared higher than they had any right to. Good music is nothing without the right players, so luck would have that he and Tommy got blessed with television's best little garage band of a cast around. Dana, Casey, Dan, Natalie, Jeremy, Issac, they lived. They lived because of Felicity Huffman, Peter Krause, Josh Charles, Sabrina Lloyd, Joshua Malina, and Robert Guillame, conducted under the mastery of Tommy Schlamme. These are the ones responsible for the moments, the nuggets you can't put a price on. They're responsible for Jeremy telling many many people, for Casey's decision to turn around, for Eli's Coming, for Natalie's outrage not concerning a videotape, for Dan's unsinkable pursuit of Rebecca, for Issac's singing, for Dana's everything. They loved, they gave, and I was full of their grace. I am. All in all, not a bad show.
