	"The West Wing" (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Inside the lives of staffers in the west wing of the White House.
		Following the trials and triumphs of those working behind-the-scenes in and around the Oval Office, this series perfectly portrays the shrewdness that the president and his staff require to do their jobs and the way they inter-relate in a manic environment to get those jobs done, while still managing to maintain a personal life.
		The characters are perfectly rounded, the script continually sharp, and credit goes to the directors and editors who ensure such slick movement and spot-on timing on screen.

	The West Wing (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series is set in the West Wing of a fictionalized White House, the location of the Oval Office and offices of presidential senior staff, during the Democratic administration of Josiah Bartlet (Martin Sheen).
		She concludes, "While the series’ purpose is for-profit entertainment, The West Wing presents great pedagogical potential." The West Wing, in her opinion, gives greater depth to the political process usually espoused only in stilted talking points on shows like Face the Nation and Meet the Press.
		The West Wing is sometimes called by detractors The Left Wing because of its portrayal of the ideal liberal administration.

	Characters on The West Wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The television series The West Wing, a political drama series originated for NBC, has a sizable cast of characters.
		So the main characters carry out the main storylines and secondary characters are brought in as needed.
		An interesting note about guest characters is that many actors noted for work in sitcoms, such as John Goodman, Ed O'Neill, Matthew Perry and Christopher Lloyd, have appeared in strictly dramatic roles.

		From what I could gather, their own political leanings were in the opposite direction from the shows’ characters, and they were unable to watch the show objectively, without seeing it as an hour-long commercial for politics they disagreed with.
		The characters had been established by then, and really, they somehow managed to keep in character and keep their ideals while reflecting some tough issues.
		The characters speak in an almost code of positions, acronyms, policies, etc., and the audience is for the most part expected to keep up.

	Salon Column \| ... but I play one on TV
		But network realities dictate that "The West Wing" can't be a liberal fiesta all the time (darn!), so, in one episode, doveish Bartlet almost ordered Syria to be bombed back to the Stone Age after a plane carrying his personal physician was shot down.
		Still, "The West Wing" sucks you in with its swiftly paced multiple story lines ("ER" creator John Wells is an executive producer), awesome cast and (most of the time) piquant and punchy dialogue.
		Rather than focusing on Bartlet, "The West Wing" is really about the people in his orbit, the ones who whisper in his ear, advise him, humor him and nudge him toward positions they want him to take.

		All the characters talk at about 100mph and seem to be just regurgitating endless masses of boring statistics.
		The people on the West Wing sound okay to me a lot like the reporters on CNN or Fox.Bush is from Texas he is NOT a moron.I like him a lot.
		Most of the West Wing characters do speak unusually quickly, but not to the extent that it sounds strange to most Americans.

	PopMatters \| Television \| Reviews \| The West Wing
		Which is a pity, as the sleekly professional cast of NBC's The West Wing richly deserves its break from character-actor limbo, and the claustrophobic set reiterates the hothouse isolation of high office.
		Expressed in the show's uneasy oscillations between fifties' plot conventions (the dominance of emotional over professional relationships between men and women, the inviolability of an existing status quo) and nineties' issues (rogue states, racial profiling, homosexuality and recovery), this bifurcation saps energy from every twist of the plot.
		Some characters in The West Wing initially offered meatier alternatives, but these were soon lost in the homogeneity of homosocial love.

		This is a blog for all news related to the TV Show The West Wing.
		A poster at Television Without Pity was kind enough to post a link to the NBC survey which asks a number of questions concerning "The West Wing" including a rating of the characters, and reasons for those ratings, opinions about one of the presidential candidates, the viewer experience, personal opinions and favorite characters.
		However, while it is an official survey, there is no information on how seriously it will be taken by anyone directly connected to the show's future such as the writers or what effect it will have on the show's survival.

	The West Wing \| PopMatters Television Review
		This pattern was as clear in Bartlett's handling of a young North Korean pianist's request for asylum (turned down as it would jeopardize the greater good), as it was in Barlett's decision to follow the law, and not his intellectual and moral opposition to death penalty, in Season One.
		But hey, our hearts are in the right place." The West Wing reflects the political deadlock at the heart of today's Western democracies, where policies of elected politicians on the left are virtually indistinguishable from those on the right, and only the rhetoric of justification varies.
		For that crucial 18-49 demographic, where The West Wing audience has dipped most drastically, a show that valorizes the impotence of earnest human endeavor against a global network of vested interests could be too close to reality to be bearable.

		But the story ended up in the West Wing because I told the story to my students in Constitutional Law at Harvard, and a current writer for the West Wing was in that class.
		In addition, there have been several instances were a character was clearly modeled on a real person and played an big role in the episode, and in each case, the “person” was given a new name.
		Lessig is the character’s role not in the subplot regarding former Soviet Republic constitutionalism, but the character’s role in the main plot.

	Tuned In: 'The West Wing' holds promise as TV drama
		Seaborn is supposed to be one of "The West Wing's" most important characters, but in tonight's premiere (9 on WPXI) he's not good for much more than a few laughs -- some unintentional.
		Don't hold that against "The West Wing." So far the characters aren't as annoyingly full of themselves or prone to the same redundant banter as the cast of "Sports Night." Instead, the dialogue is similar to Sorkin's work in the films "A Few Good Men" and "The American President."

		Most annoyingly, the West Wing halls on the show are far too bustling, and the substantive politics of the West Wing, on issues such as gun control and feminism, are conventionally liberal in a way that even liberals may find annoying.
		The characters on "The West Wing" are not angels.
		For Americans outside the Beltway who believe Washington is all callousness, sleaze and sloth, "The West Wing" provides a message that comes closer to the reality I have experienced than the one Hollywood typically portrays.

		The West Wing’s left-leaning bipartisanship enhances the show’s popularity because Sorkin uses this quality to suggest that the United States government works.
		The West Wing would be better if the self-righteous determination that motivates Bartlett and his followers led them-at least a few steps-down a primrose path.
		If Sorkin forced his characters to cope with more events demanding rapid action-a military coup in the Balkans, an economic collapse in Europe-people might better understand that their leaders must take imperial actions in order to preserve democratic rule.

		Donna was going to die, as soon as I saw Fitz, who I had forgotten was getting sent, I figured he'd be the one from the west wing to die since he's not as big of a character.
		His character's position is way more important that Donna who is basically a secretary, and not in a cabinet sense of the word, but they don't use him much on the show since they focus on the west wing employees that didn't need senate approval
		i did like the character (and john amos), but since he was written out as chairman this season, he won't be as big of a hit story wise as andy or donna would have been.
