The West Wing

[Fiderer]

Watching once again. Love the intro in ep1

Finished season one this morning and was at the cliff hanger ending. A friend rescued me with s2 DVD and I'm 2 episodes in.

The Supremes is an excellent episode, very well written imo.

Thurlow get in line

burblish YANBU-I love Lord Marbury, I love it when he's sitting in the bar with Toby telling him why Brendan McGann can't come to the White House.

I finished at the weekend. There's not much I could finish and want to start all over again. Been watching on Now tv box sets told dh I wanted the DVD box set he said but you've just finished watching it. he just doesn't get it.

Kill him Dreams. Or break his leg and put on the DVDs you will buy with his money and leave the remote out of reach. He'll learn.

And will know all 14 punctuation marks in Standard English.

Just finished season two.

I'm watching for the first time ever!

I'm struggling a little with the American political system and how it all works and having to google a lot while watching!

crystalgall There's always someone here to help And we ask each other questions the whole time even though a lot of us have watched 840 times so dive in.

Anyone else read the news that Melania is not planning on moving to The White House with their son and have visions of the Secret Service proposing putting up guard houses outside Trump Towers a la the Santos house?

Congresswoman that's exactly what I though when I heard that!

It's scary how accurate some of it is - there's a bit where fitzwallis argues against going into some Middle East country, as he says they'll be stuck there for years.
And any reference to Syria

WW box set got me through the long dark nights of a Stockholm January when working there a few years back.

Thanksgiving this week reminded me of the Butterball Hotline and when CJ arrived at her office to find 2 turkeys there.

Butterball hotline is one of our favourite moments

"Two cathedrals" is a great episode and I can't hear Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" without seeing Bartlett standing in a storm now.

Does anyone else on 5th Avenue have a guardhouse Congresswoman?

I'm doubting they can put one up at either of end of the street and screen everyone who wants to pass through TSSDNCOP

They'll be fine though Trump Tower is the taste repellent. No one including a would be assasin would want to go in.

In which case Ron will need to think about a tent. Which again will be a challenge on 5th, but he'll sort it.

I was about to ask you about the tent TSSDNCOP, it's your domain after all

I love the episode where Bartlett tells her teacher that she is in the Oval Office and that she considers her the reason she got so far.

The Supremes is fantastic as is Celestial Navigation.

Shall I poke the bear and mention the travesty of casting that was Mandy?

Where Bartlet tells Donna to tell her teacher

Cave totes

Now you've done it TSSDNCOP, you're gonna have to go outside, turn round twice and spit, and curse

I was watching Clueless this afternoon and realised the actress that (very fleetingly) plays Paul Rudd's girlfriend was Mandy!

She is so jarringly crap in a mine of diamonds. Was she Aaron's girlfriend? The car up kerb episode is a cringe fest.

My husband isn't as keen on series 1 (in particular Mandy) so every time we rewatch we start at season 2. I might do a solo watch on season 1...if only to see CJ do the Jackal

We are watching this for the first time. Have just watched the episodes where the bomb goes off in Gaza. Have to wait until tomorrow to (hopefully) find out how that storyline goes.

Is this on Netflix?

Not on Netflix. Repeats on sky Atlantic a lot.

Sky box sets for us.
