West Wing alert

On Bravo right now ... the re-election party episode. Maybe the best dialogue of the series in one show.
And where has the show been? Dammit.

Mary Louise Parker just took off the overcoat to reveal the red dress that dropped Josh to his knees.

 

And now Danica Kelleher or whatevery her name was is wearing a slinky outfit of her won.

 

Great, great scene.

 

for my money, the GREATEST. NETWORK. DRAMA. EVER.

memo to self: dig out my first three seasons on dvd and begin watching again.

thanks for the reminder.

 

every time i see mrs. landingham doing a commercial i tear up, too.

 

sarah palin reminds me of the james brolin character. folksy but dumber than dirt.

like we shouldn't want out presidential/vp candidates to be, you know, smart.

 

This was a great show for the first 3-4 seasons, then lagged a bit. The non-Sorkin years weren't quite as good (and sometimes pretty hokey....like when Zoe got kidnapped be terrorists, etc)

But the last year, focusing on the election of Matt Santos and what goes on in campaigns brought the show back.

But I was glued to the TV all day watching the marathon, and remembering how great of a show it was then.

RIP John Spencer

 

I have all seven seasons on DVD, and have probably watched each, at minimum, three times. That said, I was still watching this for a couple of hours.

 

I would rather watch three hours of Rudy Giuliani in a rabbit suit doing a Bugs Bunny revival show on Broadway than one minute of West Wing's peppy, chirpy banter. Most of these people needed to be on some kind of meds. I hated Sports Night, too.

 

That was my introduction to Jeff Buckley and "Hallelujah."

There hasn't been a better show on over-the-air channels since it left.

 

For the last few weeks, they been showing back-to-back episodes at 8 and 9 a.m.

 

Yes, since I never removed my Tivo Season Pass, I've caught all of them.
