So, I've been watching re-runs of West Wing on Bravo...

[Catch22Dem]

We're up to season 5. It was a good season. John Goodman (Speaker of the House) becomes president during the kidnapping, Zoe is returned safely, Josh is being punished for "causing" Tom Skeritt to switch parties, and they're in the middle of budget negotiations with new Speaker Hafley. The episode today is the one where they've shutdown the government and Bartlett finally walks to capitol hill, sits outside the reupke war room while they freak, then eventually walks away. The whole shutdown goes from being Bartlett's fault, to being the repukes' fault.

That was a great episode.

That show ALWAYS left me wanting more, and the re-runs are no different.

5. Oh, I know...I watched every episode when they originally aired

You're right. Final ep is a treasure indeed.

They should show the 25th Amendment episode in civics class.

I always like the earlier seasons (1-4).
