That was also my guess.

More than the rapid-fire dialogue or deft blend of comedy and drama, it’s the utter competence of the sportscasters and producers that quickly separates Sports Night from the other 30-minute laugh-tracked TV shows of the ’90s. The bosses are smart and helpful, except when they’re meddlesome network executives. You’re held accountable for mistakes, but your co-workers always have your back. Instead of the classic reliance on miscommunication for situational comedy, the tension arises from a pressure to excel in the national spotlight, and the humor comes from genuinely funny characters.With film-worthy writing and one of the best casts ever assembled for a sitcom (Robert Guillaume shone both pre- and post-stroke and William H. Macy was a regular guest), “Sports Night” changed the trajectory of television. It was a half-hour comedy with better, more emotional storylines than most hour-long dramas. It was one of the first hybrids of a multi-camera and single-camera show, benefiting from the strengths of both approaches. And its echoes could be felt in some of the best shows that followed: the volleys of witty repartee between Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, “The Sopranos’” psychiatrist scenes, and the meta-story lines about the show’s impending cancellation in “Arrested Development.

R.I.P, Copeland.
I’m Safer On An Airplane - Copeland
It happened then, it happens now
They let you in, they let you down
And it feels like we can’t get out
And it feels like hell
I think I’m safer in an airplane
I think I’m safer with my lungs full of smoke
I think I’m safer on the jetway
Than a world without hope
The day came in, the day went out
And not a bit of peace was spoken about
And it feels like a suicidal world
And it feels like hell
I think I’m safer in an airplane
I think I’m safer if I run through the street
I think I’m safer on the jetway
Than a world without peace
Oh, what arms will stretch out when they’ve had enough?
Oh, when they are tired of holding up us…
I think I’m safer on an airplane
(I think I’m safer on an airplane)
I think I’m safer in the sky up above
I think I’m safer on the jetway
Than a world without…
I think I’m safer on an airplane
(I think I’m safer on an airplane)
I think I’m safer in the sky up above
I think I’m safer on the jetway
Than a world without love

- Psychiatrist: Your parents say you're always lying.
- Antoine Doinel: Oh, I lie now and then, I suppose. Sometimes I'd tell them the truth and they still wouldn't believe me, so I prefer to lie.
