I wouldn't get too attached Elvis!
The West Wing
- Thread starter duffer
- Start date
She just met the President 
I didn't know we had a nightclub down here!About to watch the last episode.....Really enjoyed season 7
The episode where Toby finds out about Bartlett's MS is fantastic.
I got the seven season box-set about a year ago from HMV. I actually had a £20 gift card that had been burning a hole in my wallet for a month or so. My brother had recommended The West Wing to me, but I was wary about getting absorbed in another long series, but seven seasons for £30 felt like being worth the investment. It was the biggest bargain of my life!
Just finished Season 2, what a brilliant finale. The scene with the President in the Cathedral was brilliant.
I love this show.
I love this show.
This has to be one of the best scenes ever on TV
You are just on season 2??? You are so lucky .... you have 5 full seasons ahead of you, Im so jealous.
I was addicted big time when I discovered this show. The West Wing is in my opinion the best TV show ever made.
Might start re watching it all again.
so you like all of them??
Josh is my fav character but Jed Bartlett man, what a fecking duuuuude man.
Whats next?
Season 3 Episode 10, where Leo is in front of the Congressional Commitee, is one of the best episodes of TV ever. What an episode. This really is the greatest TV show ever made.
Love that episode, when Bartlett gives him that napkin at the end.. Epic.
He cried! That was touching.
I think I'm going to have to put some on now. You're going to need more soon!
I'm on Season 7 episode 9. Watched the first five seasons in the summer where I was completely addicted watching episode after episode till 4 in tne morning. Dragged the last two seasons out. Honestly think I'll be gutted when I see the last episode
What did you think of the debate episode around that point in season 7?
Spoiler tags, spoiler tags!
I'll use them if I'm going to talk about any content, don't worry!
You will be.
You might want to try 'Commander In Chief' which is a series about what happens when a woman becomes US President. Kinda similar but abit less high brow. Its only one series and I quite enjoyed it.
'you will be' suggesting you didn't like the way it ended? Or just gutted that it's over?
I meant to watch that Commander In Chief but forgot all about it, thanks for the reminder, will have to find that!

As in I was totally gutted when I watched season 7 til the end knowing there were no more after that
I only discovered The West Wing about 12 months ago and then preceded to watch all 7 series over a period of about 4 months. It was just fantastic TV. Thinking of starting it all over again soon!Yes, as a fan of West Wing, you will defo enjoy 'Commander in Chief'.
I remember when season 7 came out, I was both majorly excited and also disappointed in knowing there was no more. Bloody great show, have watched it through so many times and it never gets old.
Will post up when I've watched Commander in Chief!

I enjoyed it even if I felt it was a bit haphazard. Kind of made me wish political debates were like that in real life except for the two minute speeches and 30 second rebuttals we come to expect.
Finished Season 3, another fantastic season. Thought the finale was great too.
Was very very hesitant before I started watching this last night...Started from season 1 and so far seen 5 episodes, loved it..
Excellent show so far, and love the President's character..

In the middle of season 5...
amazing amazing show so far.
amazing amazing show so far.
When I first got hooked on it, I watched the first three seasons in a week, it really is that sort of programme.
And of the main cast Leo is God, of the supporting cast Margaret in her double act with Leo is fantastic, Big Block of Cheese Day is epic, and of the recurring stars Lord John Malburry is a legend.

Have to say I really enjoy the chemistry between Donna and Josh..
For all people are slating season four, the double part opener - 20 hours in America, where Josh, Toby and Donna get stranded in Indiana I reckon to be the very best episodes.
Middle of Season 6 now...
Obsessed with this show.

the last 2 epiosode of season 6 might be my favourite of the series.
I'm quite jealous you get to see them for the first time!

Just finished season 6..
you were right..Amazing amazing epis...
you were right..Amazing amazing epis...
I'm gonna get the DVD set after finals
If you live in the UK, they ate selling the whole 7 series for about 50 quid. A bargain and something you will watch again and again and again.
Or just download for free or buy a pirate editions which will stall after 35 mins!
And done all 7 seasons..
amazing. really really brilliant show..
Absolutely loved the last 2 seasons surprisingly.. Amazing writing.
Who thought a political show could actually be EXCITING, Touching, funny in some parts, and that you'd actually develop an attachment with the characters..
Takes some writing and acting that, and full credit to the whole staff.. What a show.

Best thing to have ever graced the television screen, bar none.
The Wire still edges it but there aint much in it in fairness.
The west wing is great, but something really jars when the 'good guys' are dishing up pop poiltical theory over cocktails in nite kulbs.
The wire shits on it in my opinion.

I can only recall one instance of them discussing policy in a 'club' and that was at a political event to encourage young people to vote.
I'm yet to watch the wire, I have heard many good things about it but I doubt it can surpass The West Wing.

Nah there was a few scenes like that, the Rock the Vote one was especially cringey though. I really mean more the way their casual liberal genius was so natural to them. It was a very 17 year old idea of politics in many ways. Quite one dimensional characters as good as they were. Even when they were bad they always had a theoretically sound motive. I watched it twice all the way through I don't dislike it, just saw lots of flaws in it.
