I'm living on the air in Cincinnatti

So my friend Jules watched an episode of Sports Night because I more or less sat her down in front of the teevee while I got my morning fix.
She enjoyed it, and declared it 'a half hour chock full of Sorkinisms' or something to that effect.
So, since then I've been curious. What is a Sorkinism, and does it only show up in his television, or are there Sorkinisms in _A Few Good Men_ and _Malice_ as well?

Oh my god. This is perfect. You rock. Okay, so yes, this is very present in AFGM.

Also West Wing. It's actually sort of the "signature" West Wing writing style.

Well yes, but I've seen A Few Good Men, whereas I've never seen West Wing.
(PS: So despite there being pretty much no spoilers, I'm glad you managed to avoid getting 24 spoiled for you.)

I don't know that I've seen A Few Good Men, but I keep thinking I have. I saw Malice, but don't remember thinking anything particular about the dialogue. Someday I will watch West Wing... maybe I will actually watch TV, again... Right now I'm limited to the first two seasons of Stargate and the first two seasons of Buffy, which I have on DVD. k
