Aaron Sorkin (creator and head writer) crafted some of the most exquisite and entertaining dialogue in the history of television for The West Wing. His words are poignant, meaningful, touching and it's always a privilege to watch them performed so well.

From series 1 to 7 excellence personified.
This is what a brilliant ensemble cast and writing team can do, take note GOT

[@jimmy2k4o]

Are you pretending that seasons 1-4 weren’t different from 5-7
The creator/lead writer/show runner etc is one of the most respected writers working today. He also wrote movies like A few good men, social network, moneyball, Charlie Wilson’s war, Steve jobs, mollys game, trial of chigago 7 and being the ricardos.
And other TV like “Studio 60 on the sunset strip” “sports night” and “The Newsroom”
The main writer wrote almost every script from season 1-4 and the ones he didn’t write he was still the show runner meaning he approved /rewrote the scripts written by others.
Seasons 5-7 were good TV but nothing like seasons 1-4 which are masterful.
If they weren’t the same show many people would like 5-7 better but it’s impossible not to compare the new with the old and when you do that it makes west wing look very uneven.

[@stormwatcher59]

[@BaileysMariner]

Is there something metaphoric about CJ falling in the swimming pool at the same time Toby offers her the press job?
They say in screenwriting, a character's appearance should change when something significant happens to them. I note that by falling in the pool and getting her hair wet, CJ immediately goes from "big hair" to the more recognisable "small hair"...at the same moment she first becomes associated with the Bartlet admin.
Just a thought. Might be a total coincidence.

[@giot8067]

BaileysMariner wow that does make so much sense!

[@partyguy101ify]

You just understood Aaron Sorkin's vision.

[@DemoDougie]

Ironic too that her podium in the press briefing room is directly over the former swimming pool.

[@malcs0]

I recall falling for Alison Hanney when she did this. My wife (an amazing person) used to always wind me up by saying "Is she as good as CJ?" if I saw a lady whilst out, etc. I do have quite a crush on Alison Janney 😍😉

[@gregh7400]

Another funny scene is when Bartlet interviews Deborah Fiderer played by Lily Tomlin to replace Mrs Landingham. Fiderer acts confused and can't even remember her name. Afterward, Bartlet says to Charlie something like, "Is this a joke? If it's a joke then it's funny and well executed, but I think you and I both know it's not."

[@Elliott1518]

Great video! Need to have CJ and Charlies prank scenes and Leos Big Block of Cheese Day.

[@thezacmurphy]

One of the few times I disagreed with Bartlett (The writers room). The reason Bond orders his drink shaken is precisely because it chips the ice. It allows him to socially consume while helping him remain alert by watering down the drink. He's snooty because, well, does it look like he gives a damn?
Also, the hand it over bit never fails to make me chuckle like a kid watching this all over again

[@raoulbataller5454]

S. Connery could do no wrong.

[@raoulbataller5454]

Lots of people love our country and we react with traumatic disbelief when we find ourselves being harmed by our country at the direction of some who're desperate for power. Connery disdained what should be disdained and, like Lennon from Apple, David Crockett, walked away. Sacrifices.

[@Mozart1220]
