Sam Seaborn or Josh Lyman?

Sam is the obvious one and is especially charming in his defence of Ainsley Hayes in season 2, but Josh is growing on me, despite his weird hair.

C J is the best character.

Liomsa · 08/10/2015 22:44

Toby! Precisely because he is misanthropic and glum. I can't be dealing with All-American cheer. And I have a slight thing for Leo.

GrouchyKiwi · 08/10/2015 22:47

CJ is the best character. I want to be a mix of her and Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights when I grow up.

Josh.........or Sam........or Toby.
Josh.........and Sam.......or Toby.

Toby wasn't on the table :)

Ah he's pretty but he's no Josh or Sam in the brain department I don't think.

PacificDogwod · 08/10/2015 22:54

Oooh, Toby On The Table…

Grin
ThomasRichard · 08/10/2015 22:54

Clifford Calley is definitely on the table though.

He's all yours.

That was definitely meant to be Envy < sick face rather than

scrappydappydoo · 08/10/2015 22:57

Sam definitely
Leo as a father figure and cj as role model
Bartlett I'd probably vote for but wouldn't like him as a boss
Loathe Abby
But I am only half way through series 3 so that may all change.

ThomasRichard · 08/10/2015 22:58

Leo cried :( Aww.

Envy sick face for Clifford.

It's always Josh (but definitely WW era, he looks like my uncle now....)

Cel982 · 08/10/2015 23:02

There's no contest really. Sam's very pretty and sweet, but Josh has the whole tortured backstory where he's always looking for redemption and can't get close to anyone but really needs saving himself and... yeah, in real life he'd probably turn out to be an emotionally abusive fuckwit. But in West Wing World, somehow it works.

ThomasRichard · 08/10/2015 23:02

Ooo no sick face for Clifford! Gorgeous, intelligent and decent.

CalebWomble · 08/10/2015 23:10

Oh, Josh. Out of those two.

(Just tonight finished series 4, watching with the 13 year old who has a crush on Sam.)

I am married to basically-Toby though, which at times makes me wonder about my hidden subconscious.

Personally, probably Leo? Or Abbey or Amy.

Twowrongsdontmakearight · 08/10/2015 23:12

I always thought Sam. But my subconscious days Josh. Assuming I'm Donna of course!

TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet · 08/10/2015 23:19

I should just close the thread, really.

SEABORN all the way

thefemaleJoshLyman · 09/10/2015 06:42

Need you ask me?

Josh.

Although Sam is very pretty. :-)

LuluJakey1 · 09/10/2015 07:44

I have reconsidered overnight. Josh, defnitely. Sam had sex with a call girl- I would never trust him.

Lilipot15 · 09/10/2015 08:34

Caleb maybe our DHs are related - I read your post and realised I am also married to a Toby Grin

PacificDogwod · 09/10/2015 10:12

Ooooh, Amy is hot as hotness with some heat on top!
How did she end up with Josh?? Maybe there is more to him… hm, I need to reconsider.

MrFMercury · 09/10/2015 10:24

We're re-watching and currently on season 2. We're getting towards the end though which combines my favourite ever scene and a really sad storyline. It was the first episode I caught on tv and I remember it grabbed me straight away and I immediately got the first box set and so an obsession was born :D
Anyway, Josh every time but I'd want Sam as my best friend. I love Bartlett (and total Sheen fangirl) and want to be CJ when I grow up

atticusclaw2 · 09/10/2015 10:25

Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam completely ignoring the fact that upon his return he'd forgotten how to act and played a parody of himself

Currently starring in You Me and the Apocalypse for those who need a Rob injection (and who wouldn't like a Rob injection!)

atticusclaw2 · 09/10/2015 10:25

Sam didn't really have sex with a call girl though.
