The West Wing

[JHyde]

So we've been quiet on this thread for a bit. I stopped halfway through my re-watch of this a few months back and thought I'd start again where I left off. The wonderful two parter that starts season 4.

"First guy to miss has to shave his beard."

And also, the magnificent Lily Tomlin taking it to Bartlett.

"Does that come with tights and a cape?"

And all sorts of wonderful writing towards the end, including one of my favourite quotes about writing, ever.

Josh Malina did a great interview recently where he talks about Sorkin leaving and his career generally. Great actor though he is, I'm really hoping he turns to writing more and more, because he is a really funny guy. (His tweets are consistently my favourites, including those of many more illustrious comedians.)

Here's the link to the interview.
