1. Ty, Ellen!

2. Some years back Mrs. Bumwood gave me a boxed set

of the complete West Wing series. It's in a blue box with a presidential seal on it, and it gathers dust next to the pile of books I've been meaning to get to but keep ignoring. So, for me the West Wing is about self loathing at this point. But, that's probably just me.

4. Watch it in sequence - it's really good fun!

I've watched it many times. My wife calls it my fairy tale!

You'll enjoy it.

9. EXcept it's very bittersweet because you want Jed Bartlett to be president. It was a lot easier to

re-watch when Obama was president. Hard when Bush was and WAY hard now.

3. Thanks to Netflix, I've watched the whole series many times!

I had this thought early in Trump's administration that if he just watched the whole series, he'd get a pretty good lesson in how our government works. Of course, that would require critical thinking skills which we know Trump lacks.

5. So have I, PJ, @ friend's house,

who has Netflix. I don't, @ my house, so happy it will be available on TNT and then on HBO.

10. It's Election Day now here! Santos v Vinick

11. Talk about a twisted election! (n/t)

6. Finished the entire series on Tuesday.

Took a few weeks to watch all seven seasons. Caught it on Netflix.

SUCH good television.

The last episode was very satisfying.

12. "What are you thinking about?"

“Tomorrow.”

[NCDem47]

13. Looooooooooved that.

7. If I had to choose a favorite episode I couldn't do it.

The writing and the ensemble cast were extraordinary.

8. not sure if it won't make me cry....

...imagine -- scenes of the WH where everyone spoke in complete sentences
aaah ---
we even had days like that a few years ago.
If we all vote -- we'll have days like that again come late January

14. DID make me cry, nebby70, for Sorkin's BRILLIANCE!
