    Waterston will be more Issac Jaffey than Leo, but yes it will be good. I'm skeptical as fuck about Oliva Munn, but we'll see.

    RIP Mrs. Landingham

    The West Wing’s Mrs. Landingham Dies — For Real, This Time

    You might not know the name "Kathryn Joosten," but there's a good chance you'd recognize her face.
    The character actor best known for playing President Bartlet's secretary Mrs. Landingham on The West Wing and Mrs. McCluskey on Desperate Housewives has died from lung cancer. She was 72.
    Joosten, who didn't begin acting until age 42, mostly played lovable older characters — many of whom died. (Not always by natural causes either. Goddamn you, drunk driver who hit Mrs. Landingham.) Her other credits include Scrubs, My Name Is Earl, and Dharma & Greg.

    Just watched season 1 episode 10 (In Excelsis Deo). The ending to that was amazing. Makes me absolutely love Toby.

    Watching this show for the first time. Came on the air when I was too young to appreciate it.

    Holy fuck, I'm all in on this shit. Just started season 2 tonight.

    Like halfway through episode 1 of season 2, don't think i've had an emotional reaction to a network TV show ever and this show just nails me in the chest. Was genuinely freaked out at end of Season 1 and into this ep so far.

    Had to go bump this thread. Show owns. Bartlet for President.

    Being super careful not to trudge too much through this thread for fear of spoilers. Had no idea the ending of season 1 was coming. Felt a little hacky, but shit they pulled it off well.

    Started this show years ago and for whatever reason have started and stopped multiple times, but now I'm determined to power through.

    I'm picking up in the middle of Season 5 and can't remember two story lines and figured I'd come here for the answers:

    - Why did the president's wife go to the cabin and why is there animosity between he and her?
    - Why is Josh basically banished to his office?

    She's pissed at him because he assassinated Sherrif which led to the kidnapping of Zoey

    Josh gets benched a few times in the series, you'll have to be more specific. Did the Dem. Senator from Montana just switch parties?

    They just shutdown the budget in the last episode and then in the one I just watched the President agreed to a budget with the Speaker, if that helps.

    On CJ as COS. You should all know by now I hate women in power. They are weak and incompetent. However, she was the only choice of characters on the show at the time. IRL an outside person would have probably been brought in.
    Josh is/was not a traffic cop. That's what the COS is in large part. I would have been cool with bringing in a new character and watching the new staff adjust, maybe Angela Blake...although my opinion on heavy set women of color should go without saying.

    Yeah I mean he was what, a third term Congressman? Vinnick would have been a great POTUS. I mean I know they wouldn't but they could have continued the show with a moderate Republican like him.

    Not reading anyone's posts, because I'm still in season 4 I think?

    I watch like one episode every night or two. Such a good show.

    Every time this gets bumped I feel I have to reiterate that.
