Recently discovered West Wing and hooked.

[MardyBra]

I want to BE CJ, SHAG Sam, MOTHER Josh, have Donna and Abi Bartlett as my best mates, Leo AND President Bartlett as my Dads, Zoe as my daughter and Charlie as my son-in-law. Not bothered about Mandy or Toby though.

Don't worry, Mandy leaves soon :)

But wash your mouth out about Mr Z. He's a Good Guy. But not swoony like Sam or Will or agent whatisname.

Lots of WW threads on here already - you are in very good company.

Hooray! Mandy goes!

Haven't come across Will or Agent Whatsit yet. . And Ok, jury can be out on Toby.

Have deliberately not gone on WW threads as it's early days and I didnt want a load of spoilers . Doesn't leave much to talk about though!

It's fab isn't it??

I would re-arrange your sentence though! (Mother Sam and shag Josh....something about the forearms and permanently rumpled look.....)

I'm very jealous of you being able to discover it all for the first time - DH and I have gone round the loop and re-watched at least 3 times. By the time you get to the end of Season 7 and have a bit of a break you start missing them and forget what happened in Season 1, and before you know it CJ is your close personal friend .

And yes, don't diss the Ziegler. I love him to an embarrassing degree.

Oooh- you've encouraged me to start watching it again from the start. I absolutely loved it - best thing on tv ever. I have got such a crush on Josh. It is so clever and witty. Nothing else really compares to the quick fire dialogue.

Where have you BEEN?!
Mandy is v annoying but don't worry, she doesn't last long. I am so that you are at the beginning of your WW journey
Remember TSSDNCOP

(See my profile for a little Sam fix0

Oh Sam's looking particularly fine there on your profile, Olivia. You can just tell that's a killer speech he's writing.

You may, as I did, change your mind about Josh when you see him playing basketball at Camp David.

I've set some program abbot Jimmy Carter on more 4 tonight to record purely because the write up contains the line 'the president Jed Bartlett was based on'

I also now can't watch Grease without thinking 'it's ok Rizzo, you'll be first lady one day!' :o

Welcome to the West Wing! It's awesome!

Fiderer - you are so shallow . Some of us were fans from the very start, without the need for further 'evidence'.

I have never (despite many many MN threads and many many viewings of the whole thing) been able to see what others see in Josh!!! He's just so-so to look at and makes too many questionable decisions. Meh.

There are SO many other WW characters I'd rather be locked up in the oval office with

Ah, notyummy, the Camp David scenes - he's so slim and boyish and the shallow scales fell from my eyes...

Never saw him and Mandy as a couple at all. I think all the characters worked right from the start but she jarred. Even allowing for her character deliberately being from the "outside".

Actually notyummy. I think I'd happily shag them both in quick succession. And now I might stand a chance of knowing what OliviaMN is going on about.

Sam - i totally would!

CJ is my favourite and my best.

it was very exciting watching season 1. i wish they'd commission another series...

I too want to be CJ. In my mind I am that articulate.

I'm also as articulate as CJ in my mind. And I have her grown-up wardrobe. even though I'm a foot shorter and a foot wider than she is

But I do have a very soft spot for Ainsley even though she's a Republican!

I just finished the series today. Watched all the episodes on a borrowed DVD and might have to invest in the box set myself. It was amazing!

Might have shed a few tears saying good bye today

Gravity, I blubbed through most of the final episode when I finished re-watching last week

Yikes - spoiler! Olivia, help! Delete delete!

Thank you.

As you were. Nothing to see. TSSDNCOP.

Oh Olivia that makes me feel much better. I thought I get too attached to fictional people, but it just felt so sad! (DP loved the show too but looked confused when I welled up, men are weird!)

I love all the gratuitous "let's put Sam in black tie" moments.

I can never decide if I want to be CJ or Donna. I think I'm more of a Donna, but I wish I was CJ. A friend told me I was Amy (delights still in store Mardy).

I'd marry Josh in a heartbeat if I had to.

OP where are you up to?

Sorry, ignore random bold OP.
