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?

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
