Okay, so you read my entry a few weeks ago about
Futurama and Family Guy on Cartoon Network beating all the late-night TV talk shows, including Letterman, Leno, Kilborn, Kimmel and all the rest. I'm sure Fox is kicking themselves in the ass for not marketing these shows properly and letting them develop them and make them successful.
So now I'm re-watching my
Sports Night DVD box set discs again. And I can't believe this show never got a chance to take off. It's so damn brilliant. I mean, how can you not like a show that began an episode like this: "We'll bring you the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat and, because we've got soccer highlights, the sheer pointlessness of a zero-zero tie." For God's sake, my
father told me that he thought the series was the best thing he thought had ever aired on television, and he
hates everything I like.
