SN Notes

these are just random SN notes I took the last time we watched S1. I found them in the back of my book and figured I might as well type them up.


Random SN notes:

General:
- According to Jeremy, the first show of Sports Night was screen 2 months, 2 years and a week before the The Pilot.
- When doing a 15 second promo ten minutes before the show, both Dan and Casey are at the desk to record it, and then sit there for until the show starts.
- Ad breaks are either two or two and half minutes back
- Casey and Dan have a bar fridge in their office, between the couch and the glass wall.
- SN crew are on the 49th floor, and Rebecca works on the 37th floor.


Dan:
- Likes dry martinis at the Oak Bar
- Calls Casey "Case" twice over the two seasons
- Calls Natalie "Nat" during Mary Pat Shelby and the following episode. (Nicknames seem to be used only when very concerned about the person.)
- Stayed up 72 hours straight for a biochem exam which he aced.


Casey:
- On air voice is slightly higher than off-air
- Has a Wyoming University sweatshirt (Probably his alma mater)
- Climbs at his local gym, which has a Class 3 Mountain (Dana refers to it as the "Big Apple Health and Racket Club" but I don't know if that's mockery, or supposed to be the actual name.)


Natalie:
- Has a Journalism degree from Northwestern


Jeremy:
- Mentions back home in Boston
- Is a "research analyst with a degree in Applied Mathematics"
- Has a deaf sister, Louise, who's a sophomore at University of Massachusetts - Amherst.


Dana:
- Wears glasses, and has been seen with two different pairs (one with black rims, one with brown-red rims)
- Smokes cigars
- Fears fish


Gordon:
- Worked for four and a half years on the Sammy Galino case (which fell through)

But of course, being obsessive/compulsive, I couldn't go to bed till I found the article (http://www.epinions.com/content_88717889156)

Except doesn't the "I coulda been a contender" quote come from On The Waterfront ...?

*gives you a Look*

You expect *me* to know? I mean, really. I've probably seen more war films than serious sport films (Mr Baseball doesn't count, I don't think), and that's still a damn small number.

It was a rhetorical question. It comes from On The Waterfront. Which is more about unions and strike-breaking and people killing pigeons than sport, really.
