User Reviews

Amazing series, amazing season
rating: 5

This was one of the best TV series ever. If you like comedy, politics, and drama, you should check this out. I have the entire series on DVD and I cannot tell you how many times I've watched it. This series has massive replayability so it's worth the buy. It is also not "dumbed down" so they deal with a lot of hot-button topics and you can actually learn a little of how the government actually works and how cutthroat life is like in Washington, D.C.

The first few seasons and the last two seasons are the best. There are a good deal of special features and this season was amazing. It has a liberal bent so if you are conservative you may not like this show as much as someone who is more liberal. That said, I still high recommend this series and this first season to anyone and everyone.

The West Wing Second Season
rating: 5

I recently started watching the West Wing on DVD again after a long layoff. Season two is where they really hit their stride. From the suspenseful 2-part conclusion to season one's cliffhanger to the amazing finale where we say goodbye to a dear friend, Aaron Sorkin, Thomas Schlamme and crew fire on all cylinders with witty dialogue and great characters dealing with realistic issues and storylines that could have been ripped from the headlines (most must be loosely based on actual events).
The series is not afraid to have fun at the same time, like when Press Secretary CJ Cregg spends "The Portland Trip" wearing a Fighting Irish baseball hat because she dare make fun of President Bartlet's alma matter. Charlie spends most of the "Shibboleth" episode (directed by Laura Innes of ER fame) trying to pick out a knife for the President to carve his Thanksgiving turkey.
Aside from the superb regular and recurring cast there are guest stars galore from Adam Arkin to Marlee Matlin and so many more. I really enjoy Aaron Sorkin's work, including Sports Night and the West Wing - it's clever, smart and witty (three things that mean the same thing, but if you watch you will understand).

We are enjoying the Season two DVDs, however, Season One was a disappointment as the last three episodes were not readable on my VCR/DVD device.

Beware of Faulty Disks!!!!
rating: 3

This is an EXCELLENT SERIES! Like others I absolutely recommend purchasing any of the series. However, I wanted to offer a warning.

I have all of the seasons. I received them all from Amazon (most were Christmas gifts).

4 of the sets had defective disks. There would be at least one episode that you could not play without it skipping. Please make sure you watch the episodes completely within the 30 return period to be sure that there are no defective disks. Amazon is very good about replacing the set if there are defects but there is a time limit. It is hard to get through 20+ hours of tv watching in 30 days!

Also- Sets 1-3 (and maybe 4) have programming on both sides of the disks. Seasons 1 & 2 are my favorites and have been watched many times. Over time the disks seem to "split" in the center and skipping occurs now throughout the programming. There are no scratches on the disks and the skipping is inconsistant (always happens on the disks now, but not always in the same place).

This issue does not seem to occur with the later sets (programming only on one side). There is no way to replace the disks once this starts happening. If you have a way to "backup" the first few sets I would recommend it if you plan to watch them often. Not an issue if you are only likely to watch them once.

Great Show, Really Hits its Stride
rating: 5

This fantastic television show really hit its stride in this phenomenal season. From the resolution of the Assassination attempt on President Bartlett to the entire MS Saga.

Special mention for episode: Two Cathedrals, which in my opinion is the best episode of the series.

A must-own for any fan of great television.
