The West Wing was the first show that truly made me believ in the power of words. There are so many quites from the show that I can say in my head and get goosebumps. The show did make me proud to be American (even though I am British), the show did make me hanker for more and more and more. I would schedule my life around viewings, unplug the phone and demand silence from anyone in the house... Now I find myself not really focusing, having conversations with people and making a cup of tea through the show... still listeing with one ear in case the genius returns. I didn't care if the how was idealistic and liberal... I didn't care if what was said was politically incorrect... I just loved the passion, the promise, the words... So, let's stop the West Wing taking a break from mediocrity and get Aaron Sorkin back... Please!
