I've decided to watch West Wing again from the beginning. Anyone care to join me?

I watched a random episode at the weekend and gosh darn it I had forgotten just how much I love this show!

Starting tonight I'm going to start rewatching the whole thing from the very beginning. Anyone want to join me, or just generally share the West Wing love?

Ooh ooh you naughty lot - just tempted me enough to buy the full 1-7 box set for £43 on ebay :) :) Never seen any of them!

Pinot- I am jealous of you. You have so much fabulous watching ahead of you!

I have to find the willpower not to go to the other thread and read all the spoilers so I can be all smug and knowledgeable in front of DH Grin

WW + Wine = my evenings planned until July

Yay Pinot welcome to BartletNet Wink

PS How are the kittens? :)

Cristiane, thanks for reminding me of that. Made me laugh! inappropriately, in the office

I have hidden the other thread just in case I got tempted :)

PinotGrigiosKittens · 20/05/2011 15:59

CaveMum The kits are great - litter training going well and slept through the night last night too! I may even get to stay awake past 10pm at this rate! :)

Just seen the episode when Leo's personnel file is leaked - the actress who leaks it is Paris in the Gilmore Girls

CaveMum · 20/05/2011 19:56

For me all of the actors are defined by their West Wing roles: if I see them in anything else they are referred to as "so and so from West Wing".

There are only 2 exceptions - Secretary of Agriculture from Season 1 is the Mayor from Buffy and one of the frat boys that hassles Zoe in the bar, also season 1, is Jesse from Buffy [Buffy geek] Grin

Pinot yay for sleeping through! My little madam is curled up asleep on my lap Grin

3 episodes of WW on Weds night: the last 2 of series one and after the cliffhanger we just had to launch straight into series 2.

Pinot you won't regret it! Big kisses to the kittens.

PinotGrigiosKittens · 20/05/2011 20:26

Good timing trib as they're both snuggled on my neck like a furry scarf so I've kissed them both for you Grin

Oh oh oh!! I started watching WW for the first time about a month ago after series one was for sale in tesco for £6 or so.... within a week I had ordered the box set off amazon! Am near the end of series 2. As I'm nearly 7m pg and living on my own, it's what I reach for at 3 in the morning when I can't sleep. It will forever remind me of lying like a beach whale!

I love it because I have to watch it properly. I cannot do anything else when it's on but watch it, otherwise I miss what on earth is going on. Clever stuff!

EustaciaVye · 21/05/2011 11:05

I have 3 eps left in season 3.

IslaValargeone · 21/05/2011 11:12

Half way through season 5, we only watched one episode last night as dh was tired....bloody lightweight.

PfftTheMagicDragon · 22/05/2011 08:47

Watched the very fist episode last night!

CaveMum · 22/05/2011 09:53

What did you think Pfft? IMHO the first couple of episodes were good but a little bit cheesy, but it settles down and becomes just so darn fantastic!

PfftTheMagicDragon · 22/05/2011 09:59

It was a little cheesy - particularly with the rousing music at appropriate times.

But I did really like it. I enjoyed the Rob Lowe character particularly, but they were all engaging. I did find that the whole episode lifted once POTUS came onto the screen, suspect that it is supposed to be like that.

Very good. Just another 150 to get through Grin You wouldn't think it would be that much of a challenge - this is what I do, devour box sets. 15 series of ER didn't phase me - I will win!

CaveMum · 22/05/2011 11:15

The thing I love the most about West Wing is that the viewer is expected to know what the heck they are all talking about! Apart from the odd occasion where Donna asks Josh to explain something there are no explanations. It would have been so easy to start the show from Bartlet's inauguration, but instead they throw us in a year down the line and we're expected to get on with it!

Rob Lowe on Richard Bacons radio show thursday PM. Richard Schiff was good when he was on.

I'm watching for the first time!
Great to see RL after lusting after him in brothers and sisters
and just spotted old neighbour from Desp Housewives!
