DVD Reviews of The West Wing - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: One of the best series in TV!
Summary: 5 Stars
My fiance & I started watching this series years after it was cancelled and liked it so much we went back and started from the beginning. The characters are all extremely well thought-out and very well acted. We always looked forward to watching the next episode. So much so that when we got to the last disc of the last season we knew we needed to buy it so we could watch them all again! Especially our fav. episodes. We'll definitely be buying the entire series.DVD Review: Great show
Summary: 4 Stars
A great show that keeps you hooked to the screen. This first season is a good start for the follow-ups. DVD Review: One of the greatest TV Series ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved West Wing when it originally aired and have enjoyed watching it all over again. DVD Review: A great dramatic series
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion, The West Wing is the best overall drama series of all time. I would highly recomend all seven seasons. I purchased this copy to replace one that no longer plays. My wife wore out the DVD's.DVD Review: Decent entertainment, hard left slant on everything
Summary: 3 Stars
There are definitely worse ways to spend 45 minutes watching tv & strictly as entertainment, I have to say that it succeeds [...]. My biggest criticism is that, just like every tv show of the last 20 years set in DC, the POTUS is a bleeding heart liberal and everyone to the right of Stalin is portrayed as evil incarnate. Just about every episode has some preachy message, delivered in a way that's about as subtle as a mugging. Guns bad, gun control good. Religion bad, 'pro-choice' good. Drilling for oil bad, tax money for public art good. And on and on and on....

Conventional wisdom prior to season one of The West Wing was that the only successful television shows were half hour sitcoms and hour long police, legal, or medical dramas. Building on surplus ideas from his film The American President and the walk-and-talk style of comedy and drama from his critically acclaimed television show Sports Night, Aaron Sorkin bucked the trend and created his masterpiece, one of the most memorable American political depictions to reach the big or small screen. Season one introduces viewers to a Nobel Prize-winning economist and unabashed intellectual president Jed Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and his key staff members, a newly elected Democratic administration trying to find its footing amidst the corridors of the White House's west wing. To the credit of its cast and their brilliant ensemble acting, The West Wing manages to immediately conjure nearly a dozen distinct and memorable characters. Perhaps the greatest star of all is Sorkin's rapid-fire dialogue, especially as delivered by Press Secretary C.J. Craig (Alison Janney), Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford), Deputy Communications Director Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe), and Chief of Staff Leo McGarry (John Spencer). They carry on conversations while stalking purposefully and unhaltingly down corridors, around corners, and through doorways, and all of it unfurls with the choreographic precision of a classical ballet and the pace of an Olympic ping-pong rally.
What emerges is more than a collective liberal dream of an impassioned administration battling back ultra-conservative bogeymen ranging from the religious right to bigots to gun-toting militants. Wonderful episodes like "The Pilot" and "In Excelsis Deo" portray a government led by heroic, intelligent, and decent men and women. Whether or not one regards that as a political fantasy, it's a remarkably refreshing and appealing vision of politics and its practitioners, one that the public embraced with consistently strong television ratings. In a country whose citizens are used to viewing their elected leaders with mistrust and cynicism, that might be The West Wing's greatest accomplishment. --Eugene Wei
