We owe you an apology. Whoops, our mistake: We owe you a podcast about the Sports Night episode called “The Apology.” Dan must apologize after voicing his support for a group advocating the legalization of marijuana. The episode is as strong as that premise is dated. Except for Josh Malina’s storyline. But that’s okay.

It’s season one, episode one. We’re watching Sports Night for this season of Sorkin’ In It. We meet a slew of characters. We deal with that grating laugh track. And we wonder if Casey’s gonna quit the show halfway into the Sports Night pilot. (Spoiler alert: He doesn’t.) Will Brian or Lex quit the podcast in this first episode of our new season? Only one way to find out.

We’re kicking off a brand new season of Sorkin’ In It. And this time, we’re watching Sorkin’s first series: Sports Night. So stick around.

Wipe away those tears, the series finale of Studio 60 is upon us. We’re in K&R part 17 by our count: Tom’s brother remains in peril. As does Jordan. And, sigh, somehow Matt & Harriett’s relationship. But, hey, it’s a finale, and fan service abounds. We promise. Stick with it. We take as long to discuss the final episode as it takes to watch it. And, in true Sorkin fashion, we talk about What’s Next.

It’s here: The penultimate episode of Studio 60. Jordan’s still in the hospital. Jack’s mad at Sim. And we spend a lot of time in flashbacks learning why Matt and Danny left in the first place… even though we still don’t get all the answers. Maybe the REAL answers are the friends we made along the way — while we were Sorkin’ In It.

It’s the second in another multi-part set of episodes, continuing with K&R Part 2. Part one exceeded our expectations. Will part two? Spoiler alert: no.

Tom’s brother remains captured. Simon chats with the press and it goes poorly. We flashback a lot. Jordan’s still in trouble. Yikes. It’s not all bad, and at least we’ve got each other. Never Sorkin alone.

It’s the first in another multi-part set of episodes, kicking off with K&R Part 1. Lex and Brian usually don’t think too highly of these, but turns out this one was pretty good? There’s a lot happening in here with Tom’s brother in peril, Jordan in the hospital, and flashbacks. No need to get fatootsed, your intrepid hosts, Lex and Brian, are here to Sorkin’ In It with you.

Breaking News: that’s the name of this episode of Studio 60. A fact which is not breaking news, because it aired many many years ago. But this is an episode filled with crises: Jordan’s baby is in peril. So is Tom’s brother. And so is Matt. Big ep. Luckily, Brian and Lex are ready. Let’s Sorkin’ in It.

There’s a strike on set and Matt & Danny are nowhere to be found. But who is here? Allison Janney, kinda playing herself… even though nobody acknowledges that she worked with several of these people on the West Wing. It may melt your brain a bit, but this turns out to be one of the more fun episodes of the series. No need for cue cards, or the three leads. Watch out for that coffee cup, Lex and Brian are Sorkin’ In It.

Matt battles writer’s block, and he needs a miracle. (Spoiler: It’s Harriet.) Speaking of Harriet, she and Luke aren’t getting along. (Spoiler: He dumps her. It’s a miracle.) Meanwhile, Danny and Jordan work together to take care of a robot baby, and Cal’s got a guillotine. Can you stick your neck out and guess what happens next? We can. That’s why we’re Sorkin’ In It.
