Only after that exchange does Charlie acknowledge his colleagues in the room asking if they are OK. The devotion between these two men runs deep.
I loved how the Charlie character evolved. In a few seasons he even told Bartlet: "I can't believe that a plurality of American voters pulled a lever next to your name." (To which Bartlet replied: "Suckers!").
It really is such a marked difference if you watch the through line. When he's first introduced he looks so scared and sheepish, like he's terrified even to speak. And yet working for Bartlett, being around so many dedicated and smart people, he grows not only in his confidence but comes to appreciate his own abilities and talents.
I would have done the same thing tbh .. not only was he the president not only did he single handily ask me to work with him but he made my mother’s murder apart of his agenda ..

@dennisyanan - Same here… I was riveted by TWW first time round but, as a Brit 🇬🇧I had run hard to learn about the US political system. Aaron Sorkin’s work takes my breath away and I’ve watched all four of his West Wing seasons but bought the whole set. Last night I finally managed to introduce it to my BFF (Australian male, and very resistant to this idea for many years). “OK, just one episode..” Two episodes later, he had gone very quiet and was still watching… I think this Christmas Day, entertaining him won’t be a problem 👏👏👏👏👏
I watched this series from the beginning, proudly own it on DVD, and got back to it often. Superlative writing, a magnificent cast, for all those seasons the smartest, most compassionate show on TV. I still wish Jed Bartlet was my President, and his inner circle my West Wing. See the sparkle in Charlie's eyes?
+pac401 There is an episode later in the season where the President uses material Charlie gives him at a town hall meeting. He finds Josh and says "you're right it doesn't go way"
Hmmm. I'm across the border in Canada. I knew that Trump would get elected. But I have not given up on the American people just yet. The Black women of Alabama have given me hope. They reminded me that in order to get what you really want you are going to have to work for it.
And later on when he had to go to the residence to wake him up personally. "Charlie are you aware your committing a federal crime right now" "I'll take my chances with the feds sir it's seven."
@Automatic Oversteer Gun control doesn't mean taking your guns away. It just means making sure idiots don't shoot up schools and concerts in what should be a first world nation.

Ugh, to have a President so intelligent, witty, worldly, empathetic, driven, ambitious, compassionate, and Metropolitan, Jed Bartlett was written to be everything an American President should be.
Charlie and the President's relationship was unique as it grew in the seven years they were together. It definitely was when the President approved of Charlie dating his daughter, Zoey. :-)

I don't like Psych, I wish that he would have stayed on the West Wing. It does have its moments but for the most part I wished that he would have stayed on the West Wing.
This show was so great! The characters were so motivated, intelligent, patriotic, scrupulously honest, and willing to literally give their lives for this country, and then we look at presidential politics for the last 8 years?
I'd rather have a president who spoke his mind and got results, rather than one who was "presidential" (whatever that is) and was nothing but the glitz and polish his (or her) handlers created. Furthermore, I'm sick and tired as a conservative of being the punching bag for moronic lefties and being constantly told that we have the be the graceful and civil ones. To hell with that. I'd rather have a president and administration that punched back!!! Civility should be a two way street, but it hasn't been in decades in DC.
@@crucisnh Thanks for your reply. I have just a couple of things. What is presidential? It is speaking truth, including everyone, leading rather than blaming the governors for the president's own errors and failure. Being presidential means the buck stops on his desk.

If we stop testing, there won't be so many positive tests is a good example of idiotic. Stay well. Wear a mask; wash your hands.

Started watching TWW reruns before bed each night and was hooked. Was lucky enough to get all seasons on dvd. My favorite memories are sitting in my living room in the fall of the year binge watching the series. I think I have watch the full series at least 6 times or more. These clips have me ready to get out season 1 and start another binge session.
I loved this show because it showed that creating change is hard. Each proponent makes the case for what they feel is the best stance on an issue, often asks for way more than they will ever get, and they negotiate, argue and in many instances find a solution. The solution may not please either side entirely but it shows that change is incremental. I read a long time ago that "bottlenecks" in making decisions actually help us find better solutions. I am all for a good political debate.
I come back to these from time to time to remind myself that decency in that office IS possible. So so sad here in the early days of 2021. Jan. 20...... can you reinstate our optimism???
There's no such thing as a "cop killer bullet". There never was. However... When two COPS developed a tungsten- cored bullet with a teflon coating to reduce barrel wear, the MSM erroneously and loudly mislabeled the round as a "cop killer bullet", thus ruining any possibility of these COPS from making any money on their invention. It's press is as much total BS as the "fused-lead bullets" in an episode of CSI: Miami being able to go through bulletproof glass. They didn't go after the bullets in West Wing because there's no future in continuing a hoax. Enough people knew it was BS.
I've seen this scene many times. Just noticed he said they had the FBI gather information and not stats. Making Charlie's mother more than just a number was very considerate of Charlie and his mother.
They have a great relationship. The only one I liked better is Josh and Donna especially when she said if she heard he wasn’t okay she wouldn’t stop for right lights.
Imagine having a president this smart, instead of one that works maybe 2 hours a day, doesn't read briefings, and basically has to be contained by his staff so he doesn't break laws.
@@joelscb Obama was the admitted drug user. Pass your message on to him. Did you see the Peace Deals Trump got done? Nah, why bother to learn about it, just be angry, mad and stupid all the time
Anybody else want to see a show about freshman congressman Charlie Young? "The House." A beginner everyone wants because of his suposed connections with Bartlett.
@@royw-g3120 Didn't start any new wars though, did he? Infact he signed four peace treaties. The exact opposite of what the FUD from the media claimed throughout 2016. By contrast, last week poopey pants Brandon blew up some women and kids in Syria and has been ramping up about Russia for weeks. War is good business for the globalists. Reality is Trump never had a truthful reputation for the public to react to because the MSM media never let them see it, they just lied 24/7 about the guy. By contrast, Biden as VP way back helped destroy two middle east nations, setup ISIS, unleash a migrant crime wave upon Europe, and served a president who allocated $1 trillion for new nuke weapons spending, aswell as dropping 10x more drone strikes on civilians than Bush did. Given the scale of the propaganda against him, someone having a -ve opinion of Trump is not surprising, but ignoring what Biden (and Hillary) actually did when in power is just bizarre.
Who is that ungodly alien who gave this clip a "thumbs down"? huh? Probably the best tv show ever. Every single episode is so perfect that it almost brings tears to your eyes. I can't find one episode where nothing was being taught or the viewer is made to feel like fast forwarding through.
I am a conservative , and a Republican, however I thought that this show was one of the finest ever presented. The intelligence, at that level was portrayed beautifully. I’m not sure that anyone in the Federal government, still adheres to principles, the way this show portrays them, and maybe that’s always been true. It’s nice to think that though. May God bless America, no matter which side of the aisle you choose.

much later in the series, Bartlett asks Charlie about the death penalty. Jed B., " do you think the person (who was never found) that murdered your mother should have faced the death penalty? " Charlie, " no sir, I'd want to kill him myself.. "
Apparently some KTW bullets could pierce kevlar vests, but it had nothing to do with the teflon coating. It had to do with the metal composition of the bullet.
I love how he greets the black man that would end up being his personal assistant with telling him that he’ll push to make one of his fundamental rights just a little harder to exercise as soon as the Government comes back together.

much later in the series, Bartlett asks Charlie about the death penalty.
Jed B., " do you think the person (who was never found) that murdered your mother should have faced the death penalty? "
Charlie, " no sir, I'd want to kill him myself.. "
President Bartlett had my guy Charlie shook when they first met. Lol
I couldn't watch Psych because I couldn't reconcile that silly detective with the character of a Charlie Young.
Oh, wow. You really missed out, then. Dule is wonderful in both.
at 1:30 the ribbons on Fitz's uniform are upside down and later they correct it.
The west wing did a great job of reminding us that we used to hold the White House in esteem
Charlie. ..maybe the smartest guy in the room on many occasions
Apparently some KTW bullets could pierce kevlar vests, but it had nothing to do with the teflon coating. It had to do with the metal composition of the bullet.
Fantastic scene.
We need a Josiah Bartlett right now.
The President commands your attention, at any time
Gave me the chills. :)
Martin Sheen for president
Nancy Benefiel Regan pulled it off. He used to tell stories from WWII that he didn’t realize were footage he’d seen shot by other people.
No shit I got teary eyed watching thinking about who we have in the WH now.
The Savior of Western Civilization?
I love how he greets the black man that would end up being his personal assistant with telling him that he’ll push to make one of his fundamental rights just a little harder to exercise as soon as the Government comes back together.
Aaaand which 'right' would that be?
@@gerarddelmonte8776- The right to arm bears, silly!!!
Like many have said, this show was so well-written that it's a shame that there were parts that seemed ill-researched....
What a country we would have...IF...a man of this caliber really exsisted...ah...the wonderful world of TV...
Wonderful writing
Charles Young president of the United States of America.
That's a show following in his father in laws footsteps 👍
One of the best shows ever made!
Do you think Martin Sheen would consider running for president? Just asking.
