The West Wing - The Complete First Season

Rating:
Summary: Just Amazing
Review: Words cannot describe how great this collection of DVDs are. "The West Wing" during its first seasons is possibly the best television ever seen. Everything from the directing to the writing to the acting is so amazing. Leading the cast as the President, Martin Sheen is wonderful and he shines during the first session. Every episode is something new and I have learned so much about the White House and about America. But every episode also bring something that I have never experienced in front of a television screen: tears. There are many episodes that I have sat in front of the television with tears running down my face. It is only tribute to the wonderful show and I only have one complaint, why aren't all the shows on television this good. God Bless the Bartlet America!

Summary: Great show - but where's the French soundtrack?
Review: Over seven million potential North American viewers of this show live in the French-speaking province of Quebec. The French version aired on the CBC, so it already does exist - and it is available on DVD in Europe, albeit on Region 2 DVD's. Would it have been too much trouble to include that on this DVD set?

Summary: Can't Wait For Season 2
Review: I watched all four dvds in a week, and I can't wait for season 2. Being a late comer to the West Wing this was a great way to catch a lot of the things that I missed. The extras were really good as well.

Summary: Three reasons for disappointment...
Review: With a great TV series comes great expectations. I am quite disappointed to discover that, contrary to Amazon in France, a widescreen version is NOT offered in the US and Canada. Furthermore, Amazon in France sells the West Wing in both English and French. US producers tend to forget that 90% of the 7,500,000 residants of the province of Quebec (Canada) are French and watched the West Wing in French with great interest. We too were eagerly waiting for this release in both French and English as is the case for so many movies sold in Canada. Of course, I could buy the West Wing DVDs from France, but they are Region 2 (not playable on a DVD player purchased in North America). Last but not least, Season 2 of the West Wing is already on sale at Amazon in France!!! So, what's wrong with DVD producers in North America? I can't encourage you enough to release the first and second seasons of the West Wing in both French and English in widescreen format. I am convinced that this will translate into more cash in the pockets of producers and artists who presented us with such a high quality show on TV.

Summary: West Wing Season 1 DVD
Review: I love this series, and I never miss it so naturaly I boutght the DVDs the moment they came out. I was most excited about the comentaries and the extra features having seen all the episodes and watched them multiple times on BRAVO. The only thing for me that keeps this from getting 5 stars is in listening to the comentary a lot of it especialy from Aaron Sorkin was copied from his interviews. His comments weren't usually specific to the episode or the shot, they were general statments that left a fanatic like myself wanting for more. I am still a fan of his writing and this show and will buy season 2 the moment it comes out but my expectations will not be as high.

Summary: The American DVD for season 1
Review: The programme is just superb in terms of writing, acting and plot for all of us seeking intelligent TV. It is a must for anyone wanting to improve their DVD collection. The only other thing I will say is that it is a shame the rest of the world appears not to have access to the US release on 18/11/03 of season one, which is just fantastic with its commentaries, extras and superior packaging. The UK versions of season 1 and 2 already out on DVD have little by way of extras. Can someone in the US ensure we all have access to the quality DVD release which apparently has been reserved as far as I know only for the USA...and ensure seasons 2 and 3 are released in 2004...

Summary: Love Aaron Sorkins creative mind
Review: I was a huge fan of Sports Night so I was crushed when he turned his attention to West Wing and left Sports Night to its early death. I guess I held that against West Wing. Now I am a huge fan and I received this as a present for Christmas and it is my favorite present! I love how the characters are each slightly flawed and how they all struggle. I think this is such a smart written show, I am so glad I finally found it. Excellent series!!

Summary: I use to love this show
Review: I use to love this show It was fresh, charming, politically less nuetral then it became, then it made a mistake. I'm not sure when it happened, but when Al Gore gave Martin Sheen what looked like a script I began to feel they were taking themselves a little to seriously. It's a freakin TV show folks! It's not the real west wing. That's were they lost me. When the actor Martin Sheen was yelling at God during his secratary funeral service I thought doesn't this show know it's only TV. It would have remain a great show if it had remembered what it really was.
