Sports Night: A programming note

For this coming week, and possibly the week after, I'm going to review two episodes of "Sports Night" on Wednesday instead of one.

People have been requesting that I go at a faster pace so we get through more of the series before the summer is out. But the actual driving factor behind this (possibly temporary) shift is that I was so unhappy with "Intellectual Property," which would be the episode I'd review next week, and didn't want to waste a whole week of this project on it. I thought I'd double it up with whatever the episode after that is, but that one is "Mary Pat Shelby," which is itself the first half of a two-parter, so that made no sense. So instead, I'm going to double up "The Hungry and the Hunted" and "Intellectual Property," which are both fairly heavy on the Dana/Casey stuff, and if the two-in-one format seems workable, I'll try it again the following Wednesday with "Mary Pat Shelby" and "The Head Coach, Dinner and the Morning Mail." After that, we'll see if I can keep working at that rate.

It seems like most of you are way ahead of my one-a-week pace, anyway, so hopefully nobody will be too out of sorts by the shift.
