I've been watching the West Wing and I'm a few episodes away from the end of the Fourth Season. I've started slowing way down and have been watching about an...
season 5 is dissapointing, but i think it pics up in season six and seven thanks to the election storyline and jimmy smitts and alan alda. also there are a...
I'm torn because the post Sorkin episodes don't hold a candle to the first four seasons, yet they're still better than most TV shows. Gail In a message dated...

Its worth the watch if for no other reason then to see how it all turns out, but don't expect it to be the same show. **************New year...new news. Be...
Yes its defiantly worth watching as much as you would the regular series. If not moreThe main reason is, yes after AS departure from the show it was a...
I totally agree. I "discovered" the series only four years ago via DVDs and based on the reactions in this groups only bought the first four seasons. I watched...
I gave up at the Christmas episode of the 5th season and didn't come back until the seventh season. I recommend that for you though people were argue there...
meira. You are right, i too question the writing staff connection. Dismissed it thinking would they really tell on themselves.... Nice ... I totally agree. I...
I agree with mostly everyone here. 5 is terrible, 6 is pretty good - but only a few worth wild episodes (cough, Debora Cahn, cough) and Allison Janney makes a...
I watched a couple episodes of season five, and couldn't handle it. Gave up and didn't even try season six. And then started watching some in season seven,...

Yeah, the show was very different post-Sorkin, but the main reason I still watched was Toby. He had some rather questionable plots, but Richard Schiff is a...

Personally, I think that's a terrible idea. One of the great things about this country is that we DON'T have official art. The last thing we should have is...
And the WPA during FDR. You're right - "no" official art was overstating it. But I think NPR and PBS are bad ideas, and so was the WPA. It's been shown...
... How American! Better (of course!) to have big corporations be the arbiters of what gets funded, published, broadcast, or shown. Up here in Canada, we have...
Big corporations aren't the arbiters of what gets funded, published, broadcast or shown, arts consumers are. And I definitely prefer arts consumers making the...
