That was such a good show. We got one season. Rumors HBO was going to pick it up - never happened.

I remmeber liking the reality/game show they did with potential anchors. It was like a Survivor set up where one anchor was sent home each week and the winner actually got a job as a Sportscenter anchor. Back when that was actually a big deal.

Anyone remember the really terrible and highly-dramatized TV movies they did on Dale Earnhart and Pete Rose?


Also, how has The Bronx is Burning not been mentioned yet? John Turturro playing Billy Matin.

ESPN has WWE and the NBA, so they're still in the scripted drama business.

I know it's not scripted but I really miss stump the schwab.

Closest thing to scratch that itch was sports jeopardy with Dan Patrick as the host.
