Is coming to All4 from Wednesday 21 Oct.

Just thought that might cheer some people up...

Watched first time round. Loved it. Was breast feeding at the time of the first season. Had to watch each episode a couple of times. Just couldn’t focus! Maybe I’ll get it this time round!

MsStillwell · 19/10/2020 21:54

I watched this at least three times. Loved it.

Tried watching it to get me through Trump and Brexit and... I don't think it's aged very well.

Beautyoftheirdreams · 19/10/2020 21:56

Oh my god, I think I literally love you. I've watched them all many times but not for years and only yesterday was circling through my subscriptions trying to find it as I do every so often.

I shall send you the finest muffins in all the land Wink

I have the whole thing on dvd and have watched many, many times.

Best TV ever made.

This has MADE MY DAY!

N0ManJan · 19/10/2020 22:02

Oh this has made my day!!! I love the west wing!!!!!

Beautyoftheirdreams · 19/10/2020 22:04

I watched The American President on Netflix the other day which was written by Aaron Sorkin and had a lot of the cast in, and it was so The West Wing even down to exact language (explain to me the benefits of a proportional response) that I was really desperate to restart the series. I'm so happy

Ohdeariedear · 19/10/2020 22:05

The special is on Vimeo if you hunt for it...

orangejuicer · 19/10/2020 22:05

AT LAST!!!!

firsttimedad79 · 19/10/2020 22:15

OMG!!

Having watched the whole set (including Isaac and ismael) about a dozen times I can't wait for it to come back!

Think I'm addicted :(

Sakura7 · 20/10/2020 15:54

Best TV show ever IMO.

Rewatching again at the moment and I don't think it has aged badly at all, in fact some of it is weirdly prophetic.

youngestisapsycho · 20/10/2020 21:51

I've never seen this... so glad I saw this thread. Can't wait to watch!

squashyhat · 20/10/2020 22:00

A great accompaniment to the series is Joshua Malina (Will Bailey) and Hrishikesh Hirway's podcast the West Wing Weekly thewestwingweekly.com/ Episode-by-episode discussion with loads of special guests including cast and crew and real-life politicos.

Where to start with the rewatch

I may start with season 2-4, watch the one decent episode with Glenn close in season 5 then do the santos campaign.

If I'm honest, Mandy puts me off s1 so so much.

ginislife · 21/10/2020 21:55

Why can't I find it ? Will it appear on catch up once it's been shown tonight ?

funtimefrank · 21/10/2020 22:05

I've just fired it up on All4. On the front page

NurseButtercup · 21/10/2020 22:28

I missed the West Wing when it originally aired and never got around to watching it. This has come at a good time because there's nothing else to watch, thankyou.

IncludeWomenInTheSequel · 21/10/2020 22:31

I am not kidding when I say that today has been so depressing that I genuinely have a tear in my eye at this news.

Fuck forgot about Mandy Shock
funtimefrank · 21/10/2020 22:38

Move past her.

She's not worth it. I also hate Amy Gardener but she offends me much less than Mandy. Everyone offends me less than Mandy.

IncludeWomenInTheSequel · 21/10/2020 22:44

Amy was just so try hard

Ooh look at me and my quirky ways!

No, you're just affected and irritating!

Figmentofimagination · 21/10/2020 23:00

Thank you OP! I watched it when I was a teenager with my parents. Didn't fully understand it but loved the dynamics. Have just started episode 1 now. That's my lunch breaks and late nights sorted.

Now if only Frasier would come back to all4.

RainBow725 · 21/10/2020 23:11

Yay! I started re-watching my box set a few weeks ago and my DVD player died a few episodes in.Sad I've not long finished all of the ER episodes so definitely time for some West Wing. Grin

Starksforthewin · 22/10/2020 02:21

I agree, Mandy just has to be endured. It would be unthinkable not to rewatch S1, just because of her.

She is fucking annoying though.

The goddess that is CJ, on the other hand. What a role model. ❣️

Graphista · 22/10/2020 03:28

I've NEVER seen it and I want to as it has such a lot of recommendations so I shall catch up here thanks op

Is it all "dropping" at once or one episode or season at a time?

Just remembering when ER "dropped" and it was I think a season at a time?
