    Jed Bartlet was the President we all wanted in the White House, a smart, erudite, cultured, principled man. And the people surrounding him were just as smart and funny and principled. Unforgettable characters created by the remarkable Aaron Sorkin. I loved it and still watch it on DVD as well as streaming it.

    I worked at Warner Bros. while this show was just getting started. Their set was directly across from the commissary patio. I watched Allison and Bradley joyously hug in front off the sound stage - a massive hug - the morning after a huge episode aired. It was obvious that at that moment they knew they had a mega hit on their hands. It’s a fond memory, because I adored that show and everyone in it. It was even better than seeing George Clooney every day.

    Speaking of nerd. I have seen "The West Wing" from start to finish 9 whole times. That amounts to around 1000 hours of my life devoted to watching that show. Can't get enough of it, great writing, great characters, great acting, the show is truly fantastic. It was a shame Sorkin left it, because Season 5 and half of Season 6 was just depressing. But it redeemed itself in the end. If you haven't seen it, do it. It is the best political drama I've ever seen. And Season 1 has probably the most insane Season cliffhanger ever produced.

      President Bartlett is more of a philosopher, which I don't know if many Presidents have been. The majority of Presidents have been intellectuals with high IQs (this is documented) and with a talent for exemplary oratory skills. The majority have had excellent communication skills and could give a speech that communicated a message of hope and courage. All before 2016 communicated that we were in it together as a united country through good times and bad.

He carried 2 Men and a Half pretty much on his shoulders for the duration of his contracts, and his absence led to an abysmal decline in the quality and humor of the show. It was inevitable because he was basically a train wreck waiting to crash. Nonetheless, there was an aura of likability about him. It made pretty straightforward sitcom stories thunderously funny.
