The West Wing - The Complete First Season Reviews

Missed it originally--My Mistake
I was one of those people who paid no attention to The West Wing when it was first aired. Earlier this Spring I heard one of the actors (he plays Josh) speak at a commencement program at Wesleyan University. I did not know who he was at the time. But a close friend, who was in attendance at this event with me, spoke in
glowing terms of the whole series. So I went out and rented the first DVD out of curiosity and am halfway through the first season. This is simply extraordinary television. I look forward to every episode and have yet to be disappointed. Great Stuff.

Podus with the Mostus
Last night, I punished myself by watching the episode called "In Excelsis Deo" from the first season of "The West Wing." Now I am beside myself that I missed "American Idol." Oh, the humanity!

Watching the character, Toby Ziegler get caught up in a funeral for a homeless ex-marine veteran of the Korean Conflict was poignant and thrilling. Add the character of Mrs. Landingham and her story of what happened to her many Christmas Eves ago, and you have a classic. It reveals how you would like our government to treat and support, and I mean really support the veterans of our conflicts that is so sadly missing today.

As usual, "The West Wing" knows how to deliver a Christmas episode with a message of peace and caring for others who are simply our fellow Americans. No one sought to find out the dead marine's politics or beliefs. He was just accorded the honor that should be given to all our veterans. And this was just one episode. Wait until you get to Lord Marbury!

If I had to tell you which year of The West Wing to buy, I'd tell you only to buy one through five. I'm not sure that six has come out yet.

This season, as others, won every award in the book. Watch, and you will know why.
