I LOVE The West Wing!

[elleng]

Gives me something to laugh about, when nothing like that is happening here.

1. I need to find a place where I can re-watch those - are they on DVD or Hulu?

where do you watch em?


They were so, so good, used to rewind em when I taped em, in order to catch the rapid fire and oh so witty exchanges!

[elocs]

3. They are certainly on dvd, but it would be great to see them on Netflix streaming

where you could watch one episode after another.

With all of the many, many channels why isn't the West Wing playing somewhere everyday?

[elleng]

6. Reruns every weekday morning 8-10 on Bravo!

[Digit]

7. I watch them on Bravo almost every morning

I believe this is the 4th go around for me....

It never gets old.

Now if they could only bring back the X-Files in the evening my life would be complete....
...but I would trade them ALL in for a good JOB!

14. X-files was on the Sci fi? channel at one point, I thought

I know I used to see it.

13. ah, usually carting kid to school and working then, but thanks! Maybe I can

tape it or whatever.

2. I liked them during the GWB administration

a huge contrast between the actual and the possible.

I don't like them so much now.

still a contrast between the actual and the possible. Not as much, but somehow more dissatisfying.

:hi:

4. Me Too

I actually have ordered the Complete Series two times and returned them both because there was no episode guide or pilot script inside. I'm obsessed! It's got to be COMPLETE series or nothing at all.

5. The first four years of the West Wing is as good as TV ever got.

Brilliant stuff, really brilliant, from many different angles. After the fourth season Aaron Sorkin moved on, and the show continued for three more years. It was still very good, but the writing dipped a bit, and some of the plots were less believable. Extraordinarily deep characterization, clever dynamics, superior wit: it was a great show.

I wish the DVDs were a little cheaper. I'd buy the 1st four years.

8. So True, and...

...I don't know if it was just me, but Jimmy Smits just ruined it for me. After seven seasons with the charismatic, witty Sheen, it was really hard to watch Jimmy Smits take his place, as if he could ever.

Sigh, I miss this show. It's so sick, but the West Wing theme is my ringtone. I'm fiendin' over here!

9. I was just watching "20 Hours In L.A." while I worked out.

TWW is, in my opinion, the best television series ever. Incomparable writing, at least under Sorkin, masterful acting and directing. TWW had it all. It helped me keep my sanity during the dark years of The Clown Prince. I called it my "weekly dose of democracy."

10. Another huge fan here :)

Wondering if any West Wing fans caught the show Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip? It was very much in the style of the West Wing. Sadly, it only lasted one season. :(

[muffin1]

11. I love that show, too.

I used to fantasize that they were MY administration during the horrid bush years!

Here is a clip of CJ doing The Jackal - it still cracks me up all these years later...

A favorite scene with President Bartlett using the bible against a bigot...

12. 2 great ones, and the bigot comes to mind SO OFTEN!

and now watching the utube clips!!! THANKS!!!

[BlueIris]

15. Ah, "The Jackal." nt

[BlueIris]

16. When it was good, it was very, very good, and when it was bad, it was horrible.

"Isaac and Ishmael," anyone? (Worst. Episode. Ever.)

[elleng]

17. Dunno,

At LEAST, First Lady had a good moment. And did you note reason for the unusual format? Re: 9/11, advocated aid.

[BlueIris]

18. Nasty, nasty stereotypes about Muslims, people of Arab descent,

and condescending (to the entire audience) to boot. Plus, it made all the characters look like assholes. Ugly episode.

[Odin2005]

19. When I was in high school my mom and I loved wathing West Wing together.

[elleng]

20. I think my daughters liked it;

they're in college and beyond now, and appreciate politics. And they do appreciate language.
