WE KNOW ALL THIS, LET'S KEEP IT MOVING, PLEASE. Can we please get to Danny's meltdown? No wonder Dan is going off the deep end, working with this pinhead. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/draft-day-part-ii-the-fall-of.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/draft-day-part-ii-the-fall-of.php Mon, 20 Mar 2000 22:00:00 -0500 Draft Day: Part I - It Can't Rain At Indian Wells: Dana goes back to her notes and asks Natalie where she should put "Tommy Castro," and we learn that they are making predictions for the NFL's draft day which is tomorrow. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/draft-day-part-i-it-cant-rain.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/draft-day-part-i-it-cant-rain.php Mon, 13 Mar 2000 22:00:00 -0500 The Local Weather: Dan says "When it's showtime, it's showtime."

But what he means is that patting his stomach is the signal for Yehudi Menuhin, which clears nothing up for me. Casey wonders why they need a signal for Yehudi Menuhin, but Dan says Casey would be amazed at how many times it will come up. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/celebrities.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/celebrities.php Mon, 28 Feb 2000 22:00:00 -0500 And The Crowd Goes Wild: Dan says, "Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Reid's head should contact the proper authorities." It's not a bad line, but delivery is everything and Dan sounds like he's been novocained. However, Dana still goes into paroxysms of laughter in the control room. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/and-the-crowd-goes-wild.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/and-the-crowd-goes-wild.php Mon, 07 Feb 2000 22:00:00 -0500 Dana Get Your Gun: We learn that Dan wants to see Tom Waits tomorrow night.

Dan is making this "yeah, yeah" face, probably because Casey is an expert at lulling people to sleep. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/the-cut-man-cometh.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/the-cut-man-cometh.php Mon, 17 Jan 2000 22:00:00 -0500 The Giants Win The Pennant, The Giants Win The Pennant: Sars says, "You could work that into the recap, like, ‘Whoa! Danny has the same name as me!’ That would be pretty cute."

We learn it twice. In half an hour. Casey begins the Dating Plan, Jeremy prepares a speech for an award Natalie knows he won't win, and Daniel loses his mind.]]> http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/a-girl-named-pixley.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/a-girl-named-pixley.php Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:00:00 -0500 The Reunion: Dana's a bit on edge -- to use a word repeated eight hundred times in this episode -- because her little brother, who's facing a suspension from the NFL for buying steroids, is coming to visit. Natalie needs a little work before she's ready for the desk, but Dan has a hard time telling her this, so he lies to her. Casey buys twelve cheese graters because Isaac says, "I like to grate cheese." http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/the-reunion.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/the-reunion.php Fri, 24 Dec 1999 23:00:00 -0500 Kyle Whitaker's Got Two Sacks: Dana is devastated by news of a professional football scandal that involves her little brother, Kyle.

Jeremy can't bring himself to fire a Suit's cousin, no matter how much he's hurting the show. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/kyle-whitakers-got-two-sacks.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/kyle-whitakers-got-two-sacks.php Fri, 17 Dec 1999 23:00:00 -0500 Shane: At Anthony's, Abby is further blurring the date/appointment distinction, since she's having a drink with Dan, but he's talking about his family. I know you do that on the first few dates anyway, but the thing with Abby is she asks questions that I know would have me paranoid that she was cataloguing and analyzing everything I say. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/shane.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/shane.php Mon, 06 Dec 1999 22:00:00 -0500 Kafelnikov: Sports Night, but as he faux-reluctantly reveals to this woman, he had an unhappy childhood and didn't get the things he needed as a kid and what happens is "you come to rely on the love of three or four million strangers," and he looks soulfully at the woman at this last bit, and I have to say Dan is pretty good at this shtick, even nailing the recommended eye contact.]]> http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/kafelnikov.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/kafelnikov.php Mon, 01 Nov 1999 22:00:00 -0500 Louise Revisited: Casey is flustered when Dana has dinner with an old high school friend -- and even more flustered when she comes back from dinner without her panties on. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/louise-revisited.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/louise-revisited.php Fri, 29 Oct 1999 22:00:00 -0500 Cliff Gardner: "Could the show be any stiffer tonight?" asks Dana. Jeremy says it will loosen up. "It could only loosen up, Jeremy, because I don't think it's possible for it to be any stiffer," she says, quashing Jeremy's optimism with a big ass-plant of negativity. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/cliff-gardner.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/sports-night/cliff-gardner.php Mon, 18 Oct 1999 23:00:00 -0500
