Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great writing
Review: This is amazing stuff, amazing writing. I haven't heard dialog like this since "His Girl Friday". I'm a republican and I like this show!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing despite hating politics
Review: That's right--I hate politics. However, this show is utterly amazing. It's not so much about the politics and bills they're trying to pass, as it is about the human nature, and amazing fast moving dialogue.

Even if you don't like politics, give this one a shot. It's more amazing than you might think.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Aaron Sorkin succeeds again...
Review: Aaron Sorkin succeeds again in creating a witty and intelligent series that will make you think about important issues and endear you to its characters. The first season presents a democratic president (with some right leaning political views) and his staff, a group of hard working, caring, yet also flawed individuals. It is edgy and fast paced, but without the need for guns, explosions, or sex.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Writing on TV
Review: There is no question that this entire series is the best written on TV. If you have a saterical, understated sense of humor, this is definately the series for you! If you are at all interested in politics or law, this is the series for you! If you enjoy great acting and the best ensemble casting on tv, you should definately get this (especially because Rob Lowe is still on the show in the first season)! Just GET IT!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quality television is not dead
Review: In this age of soundbytes,Tired cop shows and (god help us all)
reality shows(ones that ususally bear little resembalance to reality) I am at A little overcome with joy that there is some quality still in the television I watch.Rapidfire dialog, comedy and drama all wriiten by people who obviosly take pride in their work. Carry on guys you've got my vote.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: amazing series
Review: I don't watch many telly series anymore. They come, they go and by the time you get interested, they are cancelled. I enjoy movies, but series often just do not have the quality that I seek.

I resisted this series. I am not fond of politics; the process
often is more PR than real substance. It frustrates me, so why would I seek out a series about a subject that makes me want to toss a brick at the screen? Due to my husband getting hooked on it, I ended up catching bits and pieces as I would pass by. I found myself captured by the incisive writing, the amazing insight into the different characters, the humour, the pathos, the drama. The acting is top drawer, the casting amazing.

The show is simply addictive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just Great
Review: This series is funny and can also really pull the emotions from a viewer at times. A lot of comedy and good laughs in it. But the series also looks at some very serious and thought provoking issues of our time. It makes you think about those issues. And some episodes can also bring a tear to the viewer's eye. It attempts to show how decisions are made at the White House. The politics and so on. And I think it does a good job of it. Not sure it is that accurate as I have never served on the staff there, of course. We will have to hear from someone that has for that view.

Overall, it does what a good movie should do. And it does it time after time. Very good series. I missed it on the original release on TV. I am very glad that I watched it on DVD.

If you have not watched it, give it a try. I think you will be glad that you did.

Oh, by the way, I ran a business for over 20 years and I tend to be somewhat conservative. So this review is not because I am a liberal democrat. Whatever side of the fence you are on politically I think that you will probably enjoy the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great series to spend time with.
Review: The first season to this great series is a truly memorable experience, and in my opinion one of the best shows to ever been made. Martin Sheen, John Spencer, Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford, Rob Lowe
And the rest of the cast bring a sense of hope, a sense of justice, and a sense of family to this great series, and they deserved all the awards they garnered during its run.

Can't wait for season two.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding show and outstanding DVD
Review: I can't speak highly enough of The West Wing television show. This DVD contains episodes that are at the same time, both funny and thought-provoking. It has educated me, contributed to a better understanding of politics, and managed to be highly entertaining. This an outstanding set of DVDs.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The show is good... the DVDs are not
Review: These DVDs were the worst quality I've seen yet. I am an avid watcher of the show and highly anticipated the release of it to DVD, but the set was scratched excessively and some disks were mislabeled. I thought it might have simply been a bad copy, but after talking with several others I found that this was common with a large number of the First Season DVDs. I only hope they find a better company to make the Second Season set.
