This highly acclaimed 1998 ABC half-hour comedy focused on the staff of a cable sports news program called "Sports Night." As the anchors and producers weave through their careers, workplace romances, rough divorces, and a love/hate relationship with professional sports, the power-plays in the office create a dynamic and often hilarious environment.
In September 2008, Shout! Factory released
Sports Night - The Complete Series: 10th Anniversary Edition on DVD, featuring both seasons of the show created by Aaron Sorkin (
The West Wing) for $69.99 SRP. For fans who haven't been able to afford that in one big bite, or for folks who've heard how awesome this program is (we can attest to that!) and want to try it out at a smaller price, Shout! is breaking this out into single-season releases. Assuming the second season also comes out later (I'm sure we can count on that), getting the releases this way means you'll get everything included in the bigger package, except the 36-page collectible booklet with the Sorkin introduction and episode guide.
Cost is just $29.97 SRP for
Sports Night - The Complete 1st Season , and you can pre-order it at a discount using the Amazon button link below. The show stars Felicity Huffman (
Desperate Housewives), Josh Charles (
The Good Wife), Peter Krause (
Dirty Sexy Money), Joshua Malina (
In Plain Sight), Sabrina Lloyd (
Sliders) and Robert Guillaume (
Benson, Soap). It arrives on
March 30th.
This 4-disc set with all 23 first-season episodes runs 600 minutes. It includes Audio Commentary Tracks on 5 episodes, a Gag Reel, a "Face-Off with ESPN" featurette (ESPN employees compare their real-life experiences with the characters on Sports Night), and "The Show" featurette (Interviews with Aaron Sorkin, Felicity Huffman, Peter Krause, Josh Charles, Robert Guillaume, Joshua Malina, Sabrina Lloyd and more). Note that this is the same list of bonus material found on the first-season discs included in Shout!'s previous "complete" set.
