DVD Reviews of The West Wing - The Complete Seventh Season

DVD Review: Another great season of a fantastic show
Summary: 4 Stars

Okay, so it's the last season of the show. So that means they have to bow out gracefully and wrap everything up. With six years before this, there's a lot to do. The seventh season is not the best, but it's well-done and it does end the series well. Most of the season is dominated by the election of the next President. Matthew Santos (Jimmy Smitts) vs. Arnold Vinick (Alan Alda) is an engaging plot arc. Neither candidate is a clear moral victor, although the way the show is written, we're clearly meant to be in Santos' camp. Let's put it this way: just about everyone's story ends more or less the way you expect it to - not that that's a bad thing. Almost anyone who has ever been on the show gets at least a cameo. About the only low point of the season is the live Presidential candidate debate. It was probably more interesting when it aired originally, but on DVD it's a little slow, especially compared to the fast-paced, tight dialog of the rest of the show. It just feels out of place spending so much time in one setting when the show usually jumps around quite a bit. But aside from that, every episode is loaded with revelation and resolution and excellently acted as usual.

DVD Review: Get inside the West Wing
Summary: 5 Stars

very good series if you love political drama. Great cast. Could do without Janeane Garofolo.

DVD Review: So Sad....!
Summary: 5 Stars

We never saw The West Wing when it was first on TV but our son got us hooked by giving us the first two seasons as a gift. We enjoyed all seven and were very sorry when it ended.

DVD Review: A fitting end to a wonderful series
Summary: 4 Stars

This final season was a fitting end to a fantastic series. My only qualm is that I'd like to have had a bit more Martin Sheen in this last season. He was on only sparingly. It fit with the story fine but I was a bit nostalgic for him.

All in all a fine purchase.

DVD Review: Truly enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm not much of a TV watcher but loved seeing this final series. It was excellent.

Description of The West Wing - The Complete Seventh Season

The seventh season of the West Wing chronicles the transition between the administration of President Josiah 'Jed' Bartlet and the race for the new presidency between Congressman Mathew Vincente Santos of Houston, Texas and Senator Arnold Vinick of California. The season includes the live episode of "The Debate" and ends with a new administration in the West Wing.
Get out your hankies for the moving final season of The West Wing. It's not just because it's the last season, and the last time we know we'll hear that thrilling theme music. It's not just because it's the end of the line for the administration of President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet (Martin Sheen), an inspiring, beloved fictional leader of the free world in a time of great cynicism about real-life politicians. It's also because of the sudden, untimely death of costar John Spencer, who played chief of staff Leo McGarry, who, like his character, was a recovering alcoholic and died of a heart attack in December 2005. Spencer's death was worked into the season's story line, and it's both exhilarating to see some of Spencer's finest work in the early episodes here, and heartbreaking to see the impact of his death on the cast. At one point, Martin Sheen delivers a moving on-air tribute: "Johnny, it seems we hardly knew you." Other highlights of the season include the fleshing out of presidential candidates Alan Alda and Jimmy Smits, both respectable, admirable and worthy opponents. And in abundance are the things viewers had come to love about the show: the witty dialogue and spot-on delivery, especially by actors Bradley Whitford, Richard Schiff, and the crack Allison Janney and the long tracking and circular shots of characters in their element (subsequently found on creator Aaron Sorkin's follow-up series, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip). If the story lines aren't as topnotch as some in earlier years, it hardly matters, as this is the season that wraps up the entire story arc. The gimmicks, like the live debate between Smits and Alda's characters, don't hold a candle to the true soul-searching and idealism found in every single episode. The set includes all 22 episodes, a glossy guide to each episode, and "Live from the Director's Chair," a mini-doc about filming the live debate episode. Hail to the chief! --A.T. Hurley
