Sports Night
The West Wing. The Social Network. Molly’s Game. We wouldn’t have any of these “geniuses talk fast about stuff” masterpieces without the cult series that started it all: Sports Night. Not unlike M*A*S*H, Aaron Sorkin’s half-hour show straddled the line between comedy and drama, with a first-season laugh track being removed in the second season. If you’ve never tried this one, you’re missing out.
