Have you seen the finale episode of West Wing? This is quite heart-touching episode. This is all about the final farewell to the ex-president now, Abigail Bartlet. After a long struggle he got the chair of President. Then until one year he was still struggling to deliver a notable performance to show the people that they have chosen the right person as their President. After many controversies and getting stuck into blame game and scandals, finally he leaves the chair. And all his staff is looking for other jobs after getting out of rule. He himself is confused about the situation. Obviously it is pretty difficult to leave the White House when you have spent royal time over there for a long.

You know I liked the two scenes the most from this episode. One when Leo McGarry’s daughter Mallory gifts Bartlet a cocktail napkin on which it is written ‘Bartlet for America’. Actually Garry given this napkin to Bartlet convincing him to fight for presidency of America, in the third season and the president got it framed and gifted it back to Garry as Christmas present. Bartlet recalls those moments in flash back in the finale episode.

The second scene I liked was when the president has got his farewell and he is looking at the same note thinking of the past eight years, then First Lady asks him what are you looking at? And Bartlet replies “Tomorrow”. This is pretty grasping scene and the viewer too dives into deep sea of thoughts and starts thinking about the previous episodes. Excellent filming and very well written ending of the show through this wonderful finale episode, I must say.

I didn’t watch this episode when it was aired. I missed it for some reasons and today I caught that here. In fact I am watching this show since many days over here. Usually I download two or three episodes so now gradually I reached the finale episode. Finale impressed me to that extent that I have watched it twice. Now I am thinking of watching this series once again.

Premiering in September 1999, the original NBC series The West Wing built an instant cult following with its seemingly realistic weekly excursions into the inner sanctums of the White House. The series became such a hit that some pollsters claimed that certain people actually believed Jed Bartlet was the real president (although, if true, this is more of a negative reflection on the intelligence of the electorate, and not necessarily an indication of West Wing’s realism). But regardless, the truth of the matter is that West Wing definitely strikes a chord with certain audiences, providing entertaining brew of action, suspense, and drama on a weekly basis…

Seasoned Hollywood actor Martin Sheen plays the lead role of President Jed Bartlet. The day-to-day affairs of Bartlet’s administration are run by a number of individuals who surround him, among them are: Claudia C.J. Cregg (Allison Janney), Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford), Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe), Toby Ziegler (Richard Schiff), Leo McGarry (John Spencer), and Charlie Young (Dule Hill). West Wing follows these dedicated staffers as they work extended hours behind-the-scenes to help keep the White House running smoothly. Along the way, the stress of the job and the characters’ personal lives make for an interesting glimpse into what many believe is an accurate portrayal of a real-life White House administration…

The West Wing DVD offers a number of dramatic episodes including the series premiere in which we meet each of the recurring characters for the first time. The White House has their daily routine interrupted when President Bartlet falls off his bike, and Sam realizes the girl he picked in a bar the previous evening was a high-priced prostitute. Meanwhile, several members of the administration become embroiled in an ongoing feud with the religious right, prompting President Bartlet to personally condemn a group of fundamentalists known as The Lambs of God … Other notable episodes from Season 1 include The Crackpots and These Women in which administration staffers spend their day listening to a number of crackpot, single-issue groups lobbying for federal favors, and Take This Sabbath Day in which President Bartlet grapples with the decision to commute the death sentence of a convicted killer following a Supreme Court ruling upholding his sentence…
