It's a Sorkin show. It's witty. It's comical. It's fast-paced. It has an emphasis on elements other than the sexual relations of the characters, whilst maintaining a subtle longing from the viewer of those romantic desires. There are some love stories (Dana & Casey, Jeremy & Natalie, and Dan &….well, Dan and his adoring ego probably) but the premise of the show manages to place them lower down in importance than the actual running of the show (there's a joke here, I'm pretty proud of it).

Peter Krause (Casey) shines in his role. Josh Charles (Dan) is perfect for his. I personally think that Felicity Huffman (Dana) is the standout actress of the show, this paralleled with the dialogue stand this show miles above most of the sitcoms I have watched. Sorkin creates a fictional Sports News show, and somehow gets everything right. I'm under the impression that Sorkin can do no wrong. It's like the Newsroom, but funnier!
