The West Wing

[Jeppo]

You’ve gotta get past the typical Hollywood Democrat views, but the acting is wonderful and the writing amazing. We’re watching it again, now on HBO. For some reason, the resolution isn’t up to snuff but it is a lot of fun to watch.

Enjoyed that show immensely back in the day.

It was a good show, The News Room was really good as well.
Too bad Sorkin went bonkers.

Yes, we’ve watched that one, all the way through, 2 or 3 times.

I went back and watched some of it a couple years ago. I had forgotten how anti gun the writers were.

 

[Just Tripp]

Agreed. West Wing and News Room dialogue couldn’t be beat. Seems like Sorkin lost his groove…

One of my favorite shows, ever. Yeah, politics was definitely left, but until the last couple seasons it was very accurate. I guy I know worked in the Clinton White House as a mid-level policy guy, said it was very accurate as to day-to-day operations and does a good job of portraying how it really works.

The guy who played Toby is a certified leftist wacko. But, I find his acting mesmerizing.

Then he was able to relate to his character. I dug when they hired Emily Proctor's (NC native BTW) character as the lone conservative voice to bring balance. I like that she didn't take crap off anyone.
