I loved this line by Sam: "Home Sweet Home" when he said that to Josh and Donna especially as Josh had convinced him to be "the me to my Leo" when he had flown to California to convince him to come on board.
@angiecarranza Before Rob left, there was an episode where Bartlet told him "You'll be president one day." That's "The Next Generation" series I want to see. :)
@@angusperson4222 Josh would've already been a COS for Santos for 4 to 8 years. If Sam would've been President which is unlikely since he hasn't held any public office at this point. But if he did Josh would probably want a cabinet spot after already being COS.
Yeah I thought that was a great ending and it’s so heart warming to see Josh finally as Chief of staff because he’s been waiting for that moment for a long time
Well assuming that Sam becomes President after Santos has had 2 terms as President at that point in time Josh will have already been Chief of Staff for 8 years. Maybe at that point in time Josh is one of the Secretaries at that point in time.
Nah, Josh will have already been Chief of Staff by the time Santos leaves office. The next rung of the ladder is either retirement or Vice President. Maybe a one-term Democrat followed Santos' two terms, failed, and was followed by a Trump-like, Republican president who made things astronomically worse, so the best came out of retirement to set things right. Lick that napkin that says, "Seaborn-Lyman 2022" and stick it on the board.
We all knew this show would never be the same without Aaron but now that the show been gone for a year, everyone is missing it instead of complaining about it. I too, miss the show very much.
My idea would be that after President Santos is re-elected Josh and Donna announce their engagement. Another White House wedding, this time a traditional Jewish service (Donna having converted to Jewdaism) in the Rose Garden. Josh tenders his resignation as he and Donna drive off into the sun set.
While I agree, I think that was a part of the point... They were the "new school" trained by those old school leaders and primed to usher the country into the "next era of leadership"...
It's a widely accepted rumour that vinick winning was the original idea, but after John Spencer passed away they decided it that it was best to go with Santos, as without Leo the ending would have seemed bleak, instead of balanced as was intended. People dispute how late the change was made, some people claiming that a vinick victory was even filmed but this is unlikely.
I wished they had gone at least a year in to Santo's Presidency to show the first year, to wrap up the potential war story line and to show Josh doing Leo's and CJ's job. While I love the ending, I was left wanting more ... which is the sign of a really great show.
I was thinking today that it would have been interesting to have the show (or a show like it) that's ongoing with different presidents coming and going. The big challenge would be to keep the quality and ratings high enough!
Are you sure it was an official senior staff meeting and not just a particular meeting that involved the 3 of them? I mean they were standing up the whole time, so it's not like it was that long of a meeting. And it was still the first day of being president.
@observer9670 Vinick and McCain are nothing alike if you ask me. McCain is a neocon through and through. Vinick was more like Barry Goldwater or Ron Paul. During the meeting with the President where they are told about the Kazakhstan conflict, Vinick was skeptical of getting involved, McCain (like he is with the Iran conflict now) would've said, "Why aren't we in there yesterday?"
@krystleab I think you're being a little harsh on season 6. Season 5 was definitely a sort of holding pattern season, with a few individual highs but lacking an overall thread and direction. I like 6 and 7 a lot. They lacked some of the wit from 1-4 but had the same substance I thought. For the overall storyline, 7 is easily up there with the early seasons. Alan Alda as Vinick was genius casting. 7 is the only season that gives you a good Repulican/Democrat match up.
Can I just say how awesome it would be for Josh to be Pres with Sam his CoS? Let's not forget Donna as a kickass First Lady. OMG, WHY IS THIS NOT BEING WRITTEN?
@@Manny535 Sam & Ainsley get married in Season 5. Sam and Ainsley have their first kid during the season 7 primary season. Sam has grown to love the type of childhood that Ainsley had (near/in a small town, on a horse property, LARGE extended family that shows up for each other and is loud and chaotic in the best way) and says that he wants to move closer to her family after the Bartlet Administration is over and he gets a teaching gig at a college(speechwriting and the political process, like campaigns and all that). Josh offers Sam and Ainsley positions in the Santos administration, but Sam smiles and shows him pictures of some of the houses that they like (not the exact house they’re buying, but houses that fit the criteria; they would probably stay with family while they shop around for the perfect house- probably something with 10 to 30 acres and enough room for horse stables and riding arenas and paddocks etc, a chicken coop, vegetable gardens, a greenhouse, etc). Josh has to accept that Sam is in a different stage in his life and that fatherhood really is Sam’s dream. (After Toby’s presidential pardon) And then either at the goodbye party or when the group is seeing Sam, Ainsley, the baby, and his mom (I think she would have moved out to DC with the plan to follow them wherever they moved to), Sam tells Toby that he arranged for him to have a job offer with him at the college. Toby is overcome with tears and says “You’re an idiot, you know that? *turns to the baby* (Name), your dad’s an idiot.”
No, Vinnick was the best version of John McCain. He wasn't a Libertarian, like Paul. People forget how McCain was viewed prior to his 2008 run, and the Sarah Palin nonsense.
I was just thinking; has any new President retained the furnishings (except personal items) of the west wing, from the previous President? I don't believe so? ;-)

"What's next?" That line is the legacy of the show.
I loved this line by Sam: "Home Sweet Home" when he said that to Josh and Donna especially as Josh had convinced him to be "the me to my Leo" when he had flown to California to convince him to come on board.
Seeing Josh and Sam walk up to the desk together again warmed my heart.
I congratulate and am in awe of Josh. Seven years as Deputy Chief of Staff for Bartlett, now another 8 years as Santos’s Chief of Staff
@angiecarranza Before Rob left, there was an episode where Bartlet told him "You'll be president one day." That's "The Next Generation" series I want to see. :)
With Josh Lyman as Vice President. The slogan? "Sea-Born to Lead" or some variation of that spelling.
@@partyguy101ify Josh being VP is a little too on the head. Josh being Secretary of State is something I can see more likely.
I agree. I would see the West Wing Next Gen with Sam as President fulfilling President Bartlett’s comment to Sam.
@@joemckim1183 I would love to see josh in a CoS role, but I don't know whether he would be willing to be that for sam.

Santos saying "What's next?" was the perfect ending!
Bartlett should have said it on Air Force One instead of "Tomorrow".
James Hanscombe oh my God yes! never thought about that before
@@jameshanscombe2530 I agree I said that when it aired
Sam will be President Josh will be his Chief of Staff.

"Do you have a best friend?" Yes. "Is he smarter than you?" Yes. "That's your Chief of Staff."

Kinda wish they would’ve either continued the show or done a spin off with Matt Santos as president. Probably my second favorite show of all time.
I miss this show so much...
We all knew this show would never be the same without Aaron but now that the show been gone for a year, everyone is missing it instead of complaining about it. I too, miss the show very much.
wow, I love that these youtube clips have ancient comments from when the show had just ended. Sadly, nothing has come close since!
@Kristian Tyrrell I was thinking the same thing reading this. Cool.
I am glad got to be chef of staff but dam I miss Leo it s h and to see anyone else in that chair
I wish we could have seen the Santos administration.
I picture it lasted 4 years Santos is great but the people might've wanted change after 12 years, that's when Ray Sullivan won
My idea would be that after President Santos is re-elected Josh and Donna announce their engagement. Another White House wedding, this time a traditional Jewish service (Donna having converted to Jewdaism) in the Rose Garden. Josh tenders his resignation as he and Donna drive off into the sun set.
Glad Martin Sheen had the last line in the show.

Love this show
I would’ve liked to of seen the series end with Arnold Vinick winning the presidency.
It's a widely accepted rumour that vinick winning was the original idea, but after John Spencer passed away they decided it that it was best to go with Santos, as without Leo the ending would have seemed bleak, instead of balanced as was intended.

Same here, his character was much more interesting
dont stop thinking about tomorrow....

0:58 “You look good back there.”
I wish we could have seen a little more of the Santos Whitehouse. I guess that's good. They leave us wanting more.
President Bartlet had 5 people at Senior staff meetings. Santos had 3?
Are you sure it was an official senior staff meeting and not just a particular meeting that involved the 3 of them? I mean they were standing up the whole time, so it's not like it was that long of a meeting. And it was still the first day of being president.
they are missing the Legislative Director (Amy) and Communications Director (Lou) here. We never found out who their Press Secretary would be.

who is aaron. What character was he in the West wing?
LICHRALY...the most amazing house the world!
Too bad they didn't continue with Santos' presidency. That would have been nice. Kinda like Star Trek the Next Generation.
I'm STILL wondering what ever happened in Kazakhstan! hahaha
I kinda wish they chose Josh as VP in the end after Leo's passing
the Josh character would be wasted as VP he the King maker not the king CJ would of been a better VP
This was nice, but I have a better ending in mind for Sam.
What kind of ending do you have in mind for Sam?
