Janel Moloney in the summer of 2001, on the "Manchester" set, describing what's coming up for Donna Moss in Season 3.
Based on current performance, I prefer they take the side of the rebels improving the chances the insurrection will be bungled.
lol mandy
This show is probably my favourite ever TV drama, but jesus they really did film with potatoes in the 90s.
They are not people just like you and me. They a Harvard and Yale grads.
Such a shame Spencer passed and zapped their momentum to make an 8th season, focused entirely on the transition and a Vinick win instead. Would've been really interesting to see how they did it.
Their optimism about the show was correct. Lowe and Sheen were the biggest stars at the time. I can understand Lowe being frustrated in such a large ensenble. Non of the romantic pairings seemed to work out, except between Jeb and Abby.
Thanks for uploading this!
I thought it was a great show and never watched a single episode whilst on TV. Only saw it when the series was given to me as a DVD gift. The one scene that I wish they had not done was Alison Janney doing the jackal. It was sexist and gratuitous. Her character must have fought hard against it and in the end she lost. In hindsight, the series, while on of the best I have ever seen certainly had its cringe producing moments. The scene with Josh and Sam congratulating each other for having one night stands is certainly one, Toby had too many patronizing and insulting comments - too many to count, Bartlett looking up in the sky asking a Mars rover to "talk to us." and the worst of all - Josh imitating Marlee Matlin's voice and pronunciation of words as a deaf person. OMG how rude and insensitive.
When Trump was in office, I thought of this show so often, and weeped.
Me too
Brilliant show. So hopeful.
I hated Rob Lowe, but NO ONE could play Sam like he does, and the show was a bit less without him.
Love him❤️
We’re now watching it for the 4th time. I know,pathetic. But it just gets better. Just watched Hartsfield Landing. Such a clever use of metaphor.
If I fell in a hole, I’d definitely want Leo to show me how to get out.
Wish this Democratic Party was still alive today
Ugh. "In the event of a military coup, what makes you think the Secret Service will be on your side?" - rings harshly now, after J6 😬
Whats J6?

@@christopherchapman2493 Secret Service certainly didn't do any favors recently either. Coincidence?
@@christopherchapman2493 It was a constitutional big deal. The disruptive peaceful transfer of power, breaking & entering, the call to murder a vice president...
The West Wing was television at its finest.
Very nice....
Is it possible to make a flawless TV series? If not, then The West Wing is as close as it gets.
Best show ever made...and I ? hate TV lol....except for TWW , Designing Women and documentaries
i didn;t like when leo mocked the Christian Right, not all are hypocrites
It's about Bill Clinton
CJ...yum yum.
Oh, Leo... on one hand, God really screwed the show by taking John Spencer before the show ended. On the other hand, I don't think they could have scripted a better ending, had John Spencer lived.
Since it's inception this has been my favorite show on television!
I always wished that every President was Bartlett!!!
We would have to ban lawyers, then. Bartlett was a Nobel winning economist (yes, I know it isn’t technically a Nobel Prize, but I am too lazy to look it up, and you’d be to lazy to look it up if I got the right name), as well as ex-Governor of New Hampshire, which his family was big in founding, supposedly.
5:41 This line of Mandy got cut in the final episode. I always wondered how could Mandy never say a word during that exchange and now my question has been answered: she did actually say something but it didn't work so they cut it.
And it wouldn't be the last time something involving her didn't work.
@@allendracabal0819 She played that character perfectly. They wrote a very unlikable character, the public responded to her and Moira Kelly paid the price for it. That one was on the writers.
@@ltrillium1000 It was certainly an uphill battle, as the character as written was much less likeable than the others, but a better actress could have saved the character by, at a minimum, portraying her in a way that is fun to watch, rather than annoying, or even possibly helping the writers to discover interesting aspects about her, and then evolve her in a different direction.

Are you having a stroke
He was so charismatic in TWW
Dule! You and the rest of the cast and crew set the bar! Nobody has come close to even reaching it
One word for martin sheen Yummy
Bradley
EVERYTHING about this show is FABULOUS! I wonder how many times Sheen has been asked to run for president!
Damn right it is
Why is this presented as more interesting than the real political machines? I'm sure this show could have been about the people that work for the CEO of a small manufacturing company that makes widgets. Oh the soap made, the operas imagined, the important & impossible situations here people ate just like you eat, your life so similar. The only difference is ...
Well, to tell you the truth, after this show Sorkin wrote Studio 60, about the lives of people who make a political comedy show on television. To my taste, St60 was even better written than TWW, and yet people didn't watch it, it only lasted one season. The public didn't find it "fascinating" like life in the White House...
@@gabrielabagala Not to mention Sports Night, the series he wrote just before TWW.
Its the juxtaposition of these characters' being exceptional and hugely powerful, and also living their everyday lives alongside that, and making silly jokes, and doing more normal human things aswell. It's not our everyday experience to see people with this level of influence in the world, which is part of what makes it interesting , and a compelling fantasy.
Best show
I've never seen this, thank you. 🙏
Omg! She was so cute!
It’s the one show that made me smarter as well as entertaining me
It really is the best show ever
Absolutely. And a fantastic group of men and women
He's so cute

5:56 I get a kick out of actors who say things like, "Oh it was the script writing that drew me to this project..." When anyone who has spent any kind of time in and/or around the business knows they took the job because they passed an audition against 15 other names of equal stature. If they hadn't gotten this job they'd have been doing Friday the 13th part 9 if offered that part. They only get picky AFTER they've been on a hit show, at least until their popularity drops again...
I get a kick out of arm-chair critics who think they know what really goes on in the TV/film industry, and presume to tell us that they know the truth. I do know that Rob Lowe and Martin Sheen did NOT audition, but were specifically asked to do the show because Aaron Sorkin said so. Same for Bradley Whitford. They did do a reading, which is fairly normal, according to interviews. Many of the rest of the cast were specifically requested to audition, and had minimal competition. Most of my information came from several interviews with cast and production staff, especially an interview in The Hollywood Reporter.
Why did Sam Seaborn left the series ?
According to news reports, Rob Lowe was told at the start that he would be the star of the show. When it became much more of an ensemble show, he was dissatisfied and left to be the star of a show called "The Lyon's Den," which lasted 13 episodes.
@@tomfoolery815 he also eventually ends up being paid less than most of the rest of the cast
@@kaicreech7336 I'm not sure that's accurate. His quote was much higher than everybody else's when the show started, since he was a much bigger star than everybody but Martin Sheen. If I recall correctly, in Season 2 or 3 several top-billed cast members got raises, and that may have gotten them closer to what RL was making; he found out, asked for a raise and was told no. At least that's how I remember it; it's been a while.
Aaron Sorkin started unwriting his part, using him, when used, as Basil Exposition, rather than as a TWW character.
Lol look at Sorkin😂
Wonder if Rob Lowe still watched the show after he was no longer in it.
Sadly this show has less to do with the current administration than Lord of the Rings.
Stephen Colbert would love your comment.
“Bartlet for America” 2020.
Quarantine. 7 days. 7 seasons. Rewatched.
Same
Cue the slow clap...
This show is relevant today. I watch twice a year. I see all things I missed before. This cast and Sorkin. If John Spenser had lived show would have run to 9 or 10 seasons. Love, love, love this show!
@@traceyreynolds6709why would they have followed another administration? Especially when season 1 - and obviously the entire design of the future seasons - was rewritten almost entirely because Martin Sheen made Bartlett such a staple character
I love John Spencer’s smile
His smile is the best.
I love everything about John Spencer. He is a class act and definitely an asset to The West Wing. So devastating when he passed away, but they handled it with respect.
bradley whitford in this video = perfect
In order to combat ABC's strong comedies on Wednesday nights, NBC decided it needed to go in the opposite direction of drama --- enter "The West Wing".
