My favorite show of all time is Sports Night. Sports night was a great show that aired in 1999 and 2000 but was cancelled due to poor ratings. The show is about making a show similar to SportCenter but it isn't all about sports, in fact their tag line is "It's about sports. The same way Charlie's Angels was about law enforcement. It's a Show About a Show About Sports, That Isn't About Sports At All". The show was nominated for 8 Emmy's and won 3. Sports Night was canceled after only airing 45 episodes. The show had an all star cast that included Peter Krause, Felicity Huffman and Robert Guillaume.
I love this show, I own every episode on DVD and still laugh today when I watch it. The writing is really what I love about the show, the jokes aren't real obvious but are slipped in with amazing wit. The show is centered around two anchors of a sports highlight show and their trouble in producing a show every night along with the trials and tribulations of their crew and personal lives. My favorite character is Casey McCall who is played by Peter Krause, and is based loosely on Craig Kilborn during his days as a SportCenter anchor. The relationship between the two anchors is also very entertaining, they care for each other very much but are constantly in competition.
for sure Seinfeld or Lost
