There are few shows that I can watch in marathon fashion repeatedly. The West Wing is one such show. Not only does it bring back memories of a different, maybe happier family time, but it is so witty and clever that you can find something new every time you watch. And you know what, it’s just that good. Yes, so good that I can listen to the same quips and still be tickled a-fresh (see also LOLcats.)
I desperately miss this show and want to own the entire series on DVD. (only $172.49 at Best Buy! That’s a good $37 cheaper than Target and WalMart!) I was going to ask my family for the complete series on DVD for Christmas, but fear I will not hold out that long. (Unless a certain wonderful, awesome older brother reads my blog and takes mental note!) I am even contemplating purchasing one season today to feed my appetite (they say denying yourself what you want is worse than having it in moderation. In this case, I would like to agree with They, but cannot. It would not be economically responsible for me to purchase the whole hog at this time, even though when one does the math, one discovers that each season only costs $25 when purchased all together, as opposed to $37-$45 when purchased individually–yes, over $300 for the entire series if you buy it piece by piece.)
Remember when Bravo used to run marathons of The West Wing? or when they showed it at all? It’s truly sad that all I can watch on Bravo now are crazy reality (suck-me-in-against-my-will-damn-you-can-you-see-me-shaking-my-fist!) shows.* Perhaps I should be petitioning Bravo to bring back the best! Bring back The West Wing. It would be appropriate you know with our presidential election upcoming in November. (Have you seen Joe Biden’s Wikipedia picture? He could be making millions in denture care endorsements-and other senior products. Actually, he’d be great as the older guy in Fruit of Loom or Hanes commercials. And it was probably a good move for Obama’s campaign to choose a long-term senator to balance the newness that is Barack Obama–imagine, checks and balances in government and politics!)
Who’s with me? Who wants to gorge themselves on delectable détente, debate, and drama? Potus is waiting.
