If somehow all the actors could be gathered together in one place could Aaron Sorkin pull off a third season of Sports Night?
My wife thinks I'm nuts for thinking it would be a hit as it failed after the second season, but the actors have all gone on, for the most part, to successful roles and their popularity has gained. Couple that with the carry-over from West Wing and the popularity of Studio 60 and why would a third season of SN be out of the question?

Out of the question. It's been 8 years. Everyone has moved on... it would just be too different. I guess that's a lame answer, but it simply wouldn't feel right to try and start with it again. It's not easily done like Family Guy or something. Plus I've already created season 3 in my head over these many years  |

Yeah, I have to agree with needahacksaw, after so long a third season just isn't viable.
Although, I do cling to a little AU in my head in which the entire cast of CSI: Miami minus Emily Procter is replaced by Peter Krause, Josh Charles, Felicity Huffman, Sabrina Lloyd, Josh Malina and Robert Guillaume. Okay, maybe Horatio can stay, but only because I like to mock him. Emily Procter can get drunk in the DNA lab and dance to Blame It On The Bossa Nova in a dressing gown, and there can be pedeconferencing and thunderstorms and banter. Dan and Casey can mock Horry every time he takes off his sunglasses and stares broodingly off into the distance. I call it... Crime Night.
...my mind works in strange ways.

Now with Studio 60 on air a third season of Sports Night simply wouldn't work... of course.
But! I see hope that if Studio 60 takes off in a big way why couldn't Sports Night see new life as reruns? Other than a short run on Comedy Central where it was shown in a heavily edited state so as to make room for just that many more commercials, it's never really been seen by so many who would now, I imagine, enjoy the show.

I'm curious. Now that I've become familiar with West Wing, and have now seen that S60 is doing the same general take on the world of TV comedy, is it possible that even I would like Sports Night if I saw it? I hate sports.
I can now easily see Sorkin's three big loves as being politics, comedy, and sports. And embroidery. That's the series I'm expecting next, the edgy, socially-conscious world of needlepoint or something. Those two probably aren't the same thing, but what the hell do I know? Anyway, just to refocus, all these subjects turn up in all these shows. He can fuse the subjects together. Just maybe, Mr. Sorkin can manage enough cool drama and ideas in the context of a show about sports guys, to get me past my brain that doesn't have a sports lobe anywhere in it. What do you think?

Sports Night wasn't really that much about sports. It was more about the workings and relationships of people working on a sports show. If you are not a sports fan you might miss out on a few of the lines, but not many. Frankly, I think Sports Night was Sorkin's best writing so far.

Even with the far more significant subject matter of the West Wing?
