( the third and final presidential debate, live from New York. )

I had to miss the Project Runway finale last night because of the debate and now I'm kicking myself because watching the debate was so not worth it. I attempted to watch it this morning, but I had to come into school early. Now I won't get to watch it until later this afternoon, and I don't think I can hold on that long. There are spoilers out there and it's been really hard to restrain myself from reading them. I WANT TO BE SURPRISED WHEN IT WATCH IT, GUYS.

Mommy has a luncheon later this afternoon, so I have to stay at College for a few hours after class. I'm planning on using this time to start typing up my speech outline, but more importantly to post that big epic Sports Night post I've been working on. Because I really don't want to do my homework, even if it is really important and due this Tuesday. I don't care.

Hey, there's a new episode of The Office tonight! Pamcakes, you better be there.

"you're watching Sports Night on CSC, so stick around."

It's no secret that I have a love/hate relationship with Aaron Sorkin's television shows. The West Wing was the first television show that I really obsessed over, and it got me really excited about politics. I fell in love with Studio 60 right from the start because it had a great cast and wonderful writing that was just classic Sorkin. Both of them had their faults, but I was really sad when they ended. Sorkin has been such an influence on my life these past few years; in fact, he's one of the main reasons I want to write for television.

Sports Night is different; it's primarily comedy with drama mixed in, whereas The West Wing and Studio 60 were the opposite. It's the kind of show that I'd want to make. This is the perfect show for me. I love it so much. My favorite character? Definitely Natalie. She's small and perky and adorable and basically me in ten years. She's BFFs with Dana, and is pretty much Dan&Casey's little sister. And Jeremy is adorkable too.

I've only seen the first few episodes of the second season, and I really don't like them. You can really tell the difference between the seasons, and that's not because the laugh track was abandoned. The second season just isn't as funny as the first one. It went from a hilarious to I'm attempting to watch the rest of the series now and I'm having a hard time getting through it. I don't know if it's the appearance of William H. Macy, the fact that Casey&Dana finally resolve their UST and Jeremy&Natalie break up, or the entire season mirrors Sorkin's struggles in reality to keep the show running, but I'm not a fan. It's sad, really.

I kinda want to get the DVDs, even though I only like the first half of the first season. I can't pass up cast commentaries and blooper reels!
