The West Wing - 'Galileo V' Opening

[@Scienceitworks]

I'm watching through this, for the first time, on Netflix right now; I'm up to season 3, where they're fleshing out their campaign strategy. I love how Sam tells him not to fake "folksy," because he's not, he's very educated, and when he plays dumb it comes off as disingenuous.

[@jaffyjoe4843]

The 'woah boy' from Bartlett while reading the NASA intro is classic and Sam's hello Mr. President had me rolling, there was a reason everyone saw them as arrogant. The intellectual snobbery of the West Wing was a good thing.

[@marcopl17]

That's my kind of arrogance. Smart is good

[@TV-fv1ih]

Arrogant is not smart and educated doesn't mean smart and neither of them are related to intelligence! A number of Presidents from Harvard and Yale have proved that! The snobbery simply signals the insecurity of the characters! While very much portrayed as liberal, Sorkin had each of them all over the map, as they each displayed their faults and blind spots. One only has to watch "Charlies' tax return" clip!

You know, the saddest thing is that this was made in a time when you could actually believe that there were people as incredibly smart as Sam working in the White House, and that there was a US President who knew how old the planet Mars was, and could convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in their head. Look at where we are now.

[@CONOW406]

I think no president was that smart. I think there is only one US president who acquired a doctorate degree, and I doubt Wilson was 'that' smart either...

[@TheAudioman15]

I hear ya. No one even remotely close to being as smart as Sam would want to work for an idiot like Trump. I don't blame them. But this is what it has come to. Kim Kardashian next President? What a joke.

[@britkidd72]

Funny how we are revisiting this clip from 17 years at this point in history. I doubt the current POTUS even believes that Mars exists. West Wing was truly a masterpiece that should serve as a role model for all administrations to emulate. Perhaps we could have Aaron Sorkin nominated as Special Advisor to the Prez.

[@thfpt]

Wonderful intro... especially the part that begins at 3:22. The first few background musical notes play, Sam is reciting the intro, and President B giving him that "knowing" look all the while. Such an incredible moment. Well done, I wish there was something on TV now that was half as good as this.

I never watch the Emmy awards but my wife does. I heard the WW theme so many times during those shows that I just assumed it was the theme to the Emmys. Long after WW was over, and longing for a kinder and smarter president, someone suggested to me that if I liked the movie The American President I would LOVE the WW. So I started watching it on Netflix and found out WHY their theme got played so much at the Emmys.

[@robertsevers6251]

The theme song was, and is, if not the greatest theme song, it certainly is among the greatest. Also, The West Wing, should be considered one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Watch it from the beginning and you will agree.

[@gregorymurphy9378]

I love all of the show openings.. and that music that comes on is just the best The West Wing is my all time favorite show.. well written, the casting was awesome, the right amount of scenes that make you smile and also make you cry

[@mtthwskdmr2]

This is probably one of my favorite scenes for obvious reasons but also the subtle ones. When CJ is talking about using "love" twice in the same sentence, she also mentions broadcasting in living color," as there's a cut to a camera angle of her (in color) on a monitor. DAMN YOU, SORKIN, WHY MUST YOU DO EVERYTHING PERFECTLY

[@hellochris06]

Season 2 of the WW could be the best season of TV written and produced in the last two decades. Too bad smart TV isn't made anymore. We need another singing contest.

[@Serai3]

It's not about smart, it's about cheap. "Reality" shows are far cheaper to produce. In fact, the glut of such crap that we swim in now came about precisely because the networks didn't want to pay for good shows - there was a massive writer's strike in 2000 that went on for quite a while. Since no scripted shows could be produced, the networks jumped hard on the "reality" bandwagon and good TV went down the sewer.

[@1971merlin]

Anyone can write a singing show. It takes great intelligence and skill to write a program as good as The West Wing.

[@ValeriePallaoro]

Does that make it WW2
Honestly .. that was my first thought

[@PHOTOGRAPHYBYDEREK1]

I was thinking about that just today. A new WW, with Sam taking the oath in the beginning of the premiere episode.

[@iandhr1]

This one of the best episodes in the series. When CJ talks to Bartlet about a "border theme" for the classroom he says. "You said it right that time"

"Broader theme." I assume your automatic speller betrayed you.

[@michaelhaller1762]

"How your are doing Mr. President" - well done by Rob Lowe, lol.

The end of this episode is great as well. CJ told the President he should go ahead with the classroom and at the end he said "CJ you set it right that time."

What's ironic is that all the principal players (actors, directors, writers, producers and yes even Aaron Sorkin) had agreed to another season showing the transition between Bartlett and Santos. NBC scrubbed it; citing poor ratings. Seems that an intelligent, well written program - moved to 4 different time slots on 3 different nights - seemed to do poorly - and today we get to watch some untalented wannabe sing on 4 nights a week, Thank God for cable, DVD's and PBS.

By far Sam's opening speech here was one of the best written on the show. I got goose bumps just listening to it

[@MaxMckayful]

Also worth noting how well they transitioned from Sam's speech into the opening music. Just the best. Bless this show.

[@bbofun]

Small things- the camera (in-show) tracking Sam as he composes the speech as if he's giving it on-air; and the President, watching, seeing Sam as a future President. None of that is important to the story, but it is to where Sorkin thought the series would go (Rob Lowe was really supposed to be the star, originally).

[@MegaBryan1982]

I don't know what you are all talking about. "Me" was properly used in that sentence structure. When listing people "I" is commonly used at the end, such as "Joe, Tom and I" or "You and I". If, however, you list yourself in the middle, it is best to use "me". So when Sam says, "You, me, and 60,000 children across America....." he actually is correct. Just like, "You, me and Tom are going to the movies" versus "You, Tom and I are going to the movies".

[@christinaspeirs2494]

Remove you and Tom. You wouldn't say "Me is going to the movies" or "Us are going to the movies". It's nothing to do with where it appears in the sentence, it is whether you are the subject or the object.

[@fomalhaut5]

In casual speech, "me" is fine in that situation, but not in formal writing like speeches. It is part of the subject of the verb, so the nominative "I" is correct, not the accusative "me".

[@TheAudioman15]

Damn. What exceptional writing man!

[@daveinindy]

+MegaFortinbras - I get the pet peeve thing. Mine is the use of "methodology" in place of "method". I agree that "very unique" is at least needlessly wordy. But "unique" also means "distinctive". I suppose you could make a case for applying such a qualifier to it. The use of "very" can also - as I believe to be the case here - represent a form of emphasis of the point being made. That's commonly the reason for the application of "very" to just about anything in every day speech - and the reason it grows (very) tiring to hear from most mouths.
