My Favorite TV Family
This is a show to bring back. Canceled before the long tail.

I’ve lost count of rewatches
I’m still sad this show ended. Love it. The humor holds up. So does everything else.

Young Sorkin
Here’s Aaron Sorkin’s early stab at TV. He crushed it with Studio 60 (the critics are idiots), the West Wing and the Newsroom. This show is a fun little appetizer for all that. If you watch this and hate it, let me know and I’ll personally come to your house and explain it to you in small words until you see it’s true greatness.

Cut too soon
This hidden gem was launched before its time on a network that didn’t love taking risks and sandwiched between 3 other “traditional” sitcoms. It never had a chance. The laugh track, mandated by ABC at the time, is definitely cringe-worthy, but it’s easy to look past that to the stunning chemistry between the cast, the acting, and the writing. Definitely still one of my all-time favorite shows to watch, and it’s frightening how much I still have memorized. I love being able to watch everything without having to change discs, and my only complaint is that it goes by too soon. It debuted before Aaron Sorkin’s other show, The West Wing, but it was just as good, just not as long or as watched.

Another excellent and under-appreciated show
I managed to miss watching this show when it came out 14 years ago (no DVR back then), but I’m a huge fan of Sorkin, so I’m finally taking the time to enjoy this. The only annoying part is the laugh track (which is the reason I took off one star) – but this was several years before Arrested Development, and laugh tracks were still an integral part of comedies, so it has to be endured. Otherwise, it’s as good as expected. And how could it be otherwise with such a fantastic cast! With some of the typical Sorkin monologues & dialogues about issues, it’s much more than a mindless sit-com or even just a show about sports. Sort of “The Newsroom Lite” in some respects.

Great characters and heart
One of my favorite shows of all time. Didn’t get the viewers it deserved. Aaron Sorkin seldom disappoints

Sarà che non parla di politica, sarà che gli sport americani sono un argomento meno interessante di altri per me, ma ho trovato questa serie la meno riuscita tra i capolavori di quel genio della scrittura filmica e telefilmica che risponde al nome di Aaron Sorkin.Per carità , è sempre Sorkin, il che significa dialoghi superiori al 98% della produzione televisiva contemporanea… però dall’autore di un capolavoro assoluto come West Wing, di una gemma brillante come Studio 60 e del recente amaro meraviglioso donchishottesco The Newsroom ci si aspetta sempre il meglio del meglio e qui siamo, secondo me, leggermente al di sotto dei suoi altissimi standard.Per carità , anche il buon Omero ogni tanto sonnecchiava e pure ai maestri è consentita un’opera minore, ogni tanto!
