Go to sleep to this show as well. Not sure there is a main actor though.Agzonfire said:
This is my go to sleep show. I watch an episode every night and it's not loud. You're right, Im often thinking how it's amazing we are still having the same arguments to this day.
I've come to the conclusion that the main character isn't Bartlett, it's Josh Lyman
It's because they were all SO GOOD.Quote:

Pretty sure I remember reading that the show was going to be about Sam at first.Agzonfire said:

I am coincidentally tonight, watching the episode where Josh Lyman gets in a fight with internet message boards, which was totally based on the fact that Sorkin used to go on TelevisionWithoutPity (RIP) and get in fights with internet message board posters during the show's run.Quote:
Sorkin should never be allowed to make anything else. What a soft man.
Lol, OK. There's a reason he won an Oscar for that script.Quote:
I've never understood the praise he receives, or used to receive. Watching The Social Network felt like chewing glass.
Respectfully disagree. Think I'm done paying attention to anything in long form by a living American. Where are the cynics? Americans are the true cynics; a shame to let this tradition die in favor of the cutesy or bloviated nonsense that has replaced it.20ag07 said:Lol, OK.

He's a genius at dialogue (even if you don't like what he's saying).
Thanks for your contributions. In addition to saying you'll "not pay attention to anything written by an American anymore".Quote:
I'll forever be a Sorkin hater.

Bartlett was supposed to rarely even be shown, and Rob Lowe was supposed to be the star of the show, going in.
It's just crazy how close the storylines that unfolded over years, have about happened in weeks.
Typed something out but it was deleted. Don't care to reproduce it. Clearly I visit this site for sadomasochistic reasons. Done, as even that has withered to nothing. Only the five letter man is fun to argue with.20ag07 said:
Go on and head back to F16 now.
His style has made him many of millions of dollars because people watch it.
And no one said a TV show would "help you make sense" out of what is happening today. All that was said was "a very good TV show from 20 years ago accidentally showed everything that has played out the last few weeks."
F16 **** again.Quote:
Meanwhile, it was written by a flaming anti-american lib about a president of the other party. Yet, it's basically a prediction of his own party. The real and true threat to "OUR DEMOCRACY."

I should say it's my go to sleep show because I've seen it all the way through 5-6 times now. It's not a boring show, I love the pacing and rhythm of it. This thread got me thinking yesterday about just how many topics they hit that we've lived through this past week or two.
Assassin attempt
Gaza
Current President hiding illness and being pushed out
Brokered convention?
Anything else??
Also I just started listening to a West Wing podcast. It has Will Bailey as one of the two members and they bring on a ton of former cast. It's been great to fill time during the dead sports period.
