Is the West Wing Balamory for grown-ups?

[OldieMum]

DD (3) asked us today what the West Wing is. DH replied that it's Balamory for grown-ups.

*the story centres around a small group of loveable characters, each representing a different human virtue;
*it's a world we'd like to live in, but we don't quite have the energy;
*nobody eats or sleeps;
*people know more than we do, but we don't know how they find things out;
*everybody lives in a coloured house, but in the WW it's white;
*we keep being told what's just happened, which is useful, as we often don't quite understand;
*it's not quite clear who's in charge, but we have the sense that everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.

The West Wing is just the same.

lol.... liking his style!

Gosh, I have never seen Balamory (ds is 8 months old) but now I feel compelled to check it out! Does it also have the high standard of writing, the witty repartee and the exploration of political and philosophical ideas?

Not quite, tribpot, but you get the same sense that it's a better place than the real world...

Well, they have a white house...but a pink one, an orange one, a yellow one and a blue one?

Dont do it tribot, its the bane of my life!!
