		She concluded, "While the series’ purpose is for-profit entertainment, The West Wing presents great pedagogical potential." The West Wing, in her opinion, gave greater depth to the political process usually espoused only in stilted talking points on shows like Face the Nation and Meet the Press.

		Of course, the true stars of "The West Wing" are the words of creator/writer Sorkin.

		"The West Wing" has always received more than its share of scrutiny from critics and viewers, and that likely would have been true again this season even if Sorkin, who wrote all but a handful of the show's scripts in its first four seasons, had remained with the series.
		While he hopes fans of "The West Wing" won't notice the change at the top of the show, he does acknowledge that he and his writing staff -- which includes holdovers Paul Redford, Eli Attie, Debora Cahn and Mark Goffman, returning writer Lawrence O'Donnell Jr.

Bartlet's eldest daughter, Annie (Annabeth Gish), will be introduced and have a recurring role, but outside the first family, the characters will continue to be married to their work.

		In television, too, and right now the perception is that the fictional politicos on "The West Wing" are losing the hearts and minds of the viewing public.
		"The West Wing" originally took place in a world far removed from our own, and was less a show about politics than one about characters who happened to work in politics.
		"The West Wing" isn't at its best when Sorkin is trying to rewrite the Clinton presidency or support the war on terror, but simply when the characters are rushing pell-mell through the corridors of the White House, exchanging banter and demonstrating an enthusiasm for public service that's admirable and entertaining no matter your political affiliation.
