ABOUT: Intense and dedicated presidential advisers get their personal lives hopelessly tangled up with professional duties as they try to conduct the business of running a country with fictional Democratic President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet.
Personally, I would have said the part of the 8th moment where Tobey, Josh, and Donna are stuck in the bar in Indiana was when Tobey was talking to the man at the bar and the man describes all the issues he's facing and what he wishes it was like to put a kid through college and Tobey introduces himself and what he does and talks more to the man. That was the unforgettable part of that episode for me.
As I remember it, Toby had lost a bet to Josh and he was required to introduce himself in the very high brow manner that he worked in the White House. As the guy spoke to Toby, Toby looked over to Josh and Josh indicted he should NOT do that, but Toby did anyway. Wouldn't it be great if politicians really acted that way in real life.
@@MusicGunn That is, indeed, true. That interaction only makes the scene better.
Two decades and Toby & Mrs Landingham at Arlington still kicks me in the feels, and "Ginger get the popcorn" still makes me laugh out loud😂😂
0:16 That monologue was the moment that I fell in love with Toby, and there was no coming back from that.
One of the Greatest shows EVER on tv!
erase the first 2 words of that sentence
I would absolutely love a 4K physical media release of The West Wing. If there is one television series worthy of such a release, it is The West Wing.
I have a physical media set of the entire series, but I don't think it's 4K, it's just DVD.
@@sabrewolf4129 I have the blu ray box set, but a 4K restoration and physical release would be great.
@@sabrewolf4129 Its getting a 1080p Blu ray release on Oct 1. Most likely for the 25th anniversary
I cry every time the White House staff lines up in formation. It's a small part in this episode but one, I noticed & it hits home.
the cathedral scene makes me cry every time, certainly the most memorable when i think back on the show
BARTLET
Toby, if we start pulling strings like this, you don't think every homeless veteran would come out of the woodworks?
TOBY
I can only hope, sir.
Every time. Every. Damn. Time.
Yeah, I think he's saying "we want every homeless veteran to come to us for help, this isn't a group of people who will abuse this kind of help.
The full Butterball Hotline scene is one of my favorite scenes.😄
One of mine too. My favorite episode is Isaac and Ishmael. The veteran's funeral gives me goosebumps every time. This series is full of best scenes. It never ceases to amaze me. The West Wing makes me love Democrats...on television. In real life? Not so much. I have the entire series from pilot to final show. I have watched it straight through 10 times now.
I had forgotten just how haunting the veteran's funeral scene was. And I still having him say "Tomorrow" instead of "What's next" was a missed opportunity.
The burial scene crushes me… especially with the song.
2 Cathedrals is perhaps the most powerful episode of TV ever produced 👍

In real life Democrats are even better if they didn't have to fight so hard to get anything done against the GOP trying to make sure that only the rich got their fair share.
Too many moments - a Top10 is difficult when there are hundreds of contenders
The funeral episode for the homeless veteran makes me ball my eyes out every time. Governments that forget their warriors
Loved this program, we need another like it to help resolve all the bickering we have.
Bartlett’s last line should have been “What’s next”
One of the BEST endings in all of television: “What are you thinking about?”
“Tomorrow.”
Brilliant!
Perfect to watch again, Netflix bring it back
Its on MAX
@@jamesjohnston1935It's on Prime.
Ginger, get the popcorn!!
I don't know what Bartlett was saying in the cathedral but I was still riveted. Damn Sheen is good......
What’s next?
It always annoyed me that Laurie wouldn't know what POTUS is. Anybody working in government -- or in her case, a law student -- would know.
Aaron Sorkin is to blame
In her defence, she was really high. 😊
@@RatZero 😆
She was high !
Easily one of the top 5 Christmas tv episodes.
Firstly, this is still my favourite show of all time. I've watched the full series at least 15 times over. This show portrays a democratic party that you could actually believe in, even as a Republican. Unfortunately, I can't see how anyone could believe in the current reality of the Dems
These are not even close to the the top 10...1. Mrs. Landingham telling Charlie about her sons 2. The staff helping Sen Stackhouse, who has an autistic grandson 3. When Pres Bartlett hired Will 4. When Leo pulls Bartlett out of his rut (Let Bartett be Bartett) 5. The vote with Mr. Willis 6. The live debate (Vinick/Santos) 7. Oliver Babish (in any scene) 8. Leo scolding the VP for his affair 9. Will saying "I think it's a fairly stunning act of patriotism and a fairly ordinary act of fatherhood", when Zoe is kidnapped 10. The entire shuffle of the Federated States of Micronesia 11. Josh's PTSD with Stanley 12. Ellie telling her father why he's wrong 13. Joe Quincy solving the VP affair 14. Debate camp 15. Charlie's setting Simon's little brother straight when he insults CJ 16. Charlie sticking up for Zoe at the bar 17. Glenn Close (The Supremes) 18. Toby trying to get Mendoza confirmed 19. Sam defending Ainsley 20. Bartlett's speech after the pipe bombs 21. CJ speaking out against Saudi Arabia and Kumar and well, everyone....and on and on and on
I love how ‘President Bartletts’ hair greyed over the course of his presidency … just like President Obama’s. Keeping it real! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Question about Noel - with the incident at Arlington with TFG, did they actually shoot it at Arlington?
You're thinking of "In Excelsis Deo," not "Noel," but the answer is yes. They filmed with the cooperation of the cemetery and with the US Marine Corps, who had volunteers dressed in full winter uniforms to fit the scene, even thought it was filmed in summer. The military agreed to cooperate in the episode because of the reverence with which the production treated the subject.
I would think so. A lot of the show was shot, in part, in DC. A lot of the show was factually accurate as far as day to day life in the White House.
Yes, they did. Filming is allowed for non-political purposes, as long as you get the necessary approvals.
@@bobaagardthat’s great.
Very pretty!
My favorite of the episodes highlights is the 3rd instance. I say this as a heretic.
Let's get a reboot. Show us what an idealized Republican White House looks like. God knows it'll be an escape from what we have IRL.
5:20 - Aaaaaand that's how I lose the Little Drummer Boy game about e'ry other year.
