I wouldn't say "nobody" has heard of it, but since it lasted only two years, it's clear "nobody" was watching it.

Sports Night

You should watch it because:

The dialogue was fantastic (written by Aaron Sorkin, who also wrote the first three seasons of "The West Wing" as well as "A Few Good Men," "Malice," and "The American President").

It had a phenomenal cast (Peter Krause, Josh Charles, Felicity Huffman, Sabrina Lloyd, Josh Malina, and Robert Guillaume).

It had the unique ability to switch back and forth between high drama and extremely light comedy (often in the space of one scene).

I have a bunch but the one nobody ever seems to recognise is The Larry Sanders Show. Think The Office, but set on a late night show a la Letterman instead of an office. In fact stuff like The Office would not exist today if it wasn't for Larry Sanders' influence, it was way ahead of its time.

Cast includes Garry Shandling, Jeffrey Tambor (who you will know from Arrested Development), Rip Torn, Penny Johnson Jerald (sp? Palmer's wife from 24), Jeremy Piven and Janeane Garofalo.

Seriously, I cannot underline enough how ahead of its time and influential this show has proven to be over time. Some of the material has dated because it was written around stuff happening at the time, but a lot of it is just classic.

I used to love that show, my sister was a guest star on it once. She was Larry's assistant or something.

What client are you using??

I saw it the other day while looking for something else, as soon as I upgrade my d/l limit I'm gonna get them all.

Rip Torn is the fucking man (and Garry Shandling)

Azureus. Maybe they fixed it by now but it definitely wasn't tracking properly

Dunno, someone was re-posting them to another tracker but they only got up to S3x2, if there's any more after that I neeeeeed them
