The West Wing is the GOAT.

I'm in season 6 and there's no denying it. This is all my opinion of course.
The acting is top notch. It's as close to perfect as TV can get.

Top 3 for me. I love how it's one of the most rewatchable shows too.

What's going on here?
Sam: Nothing you need to concern yourself with, Mr. President. Merely a perception issue regarding Toby and the financial disclosure.
Bartlet: Well, I like to roll up my sleeves and, you know ... get involved.
C.J.: Mr. President. Did you by any chance take your back pills?
Bartlet: I don't mind telling you C.J. I was in a little pain there.
Leo: Which did you take, sir, the Vicodin or the Percocet?
Bartlet: I wasn't supposed to take 'em both?
C.J.: Okay, Mr. President, we're going to have someone take you back to bed.
Bartlet: No no no. Sit sit sit. One of you's got a problem, and I'm here to help. You guys are like family. You've always been there for me. You've always been loyal, honest, hard-working good people, and I love you all very much, and I don't say that often enough. [to Sam] So, tell me what the problem is, Toby.
Sam: I'm Sam, sir.
Bartlet: Sam, of course you are.
Toby: Sir, the situation basically is this. I arranged for a friend to testify to Commerce on Internet stocks, while simultaneously, but unrelated to that, bought a technology issue which, partly due to my friend's testimony, shot through the roof.
Bartlet: Toby. Toby, Toby, Toby. Toby's a nice name, don't you think?
Toby: Can we possibly do this meeting at another time?
Bartlet: No no no, I know my body. I know my muscles aren't, you know, but my mind is sharp. I can focus. I'm focused. You all know that about me. Here's what I think we ought to do. [beat] Was I just saying something?

Man, I just couldn't get into it. I hate the too cool for school dialogue and the constant walking and talking.

Latin scene in the church is one of the GOATs in cable history.

Greatest of all time? I don't normally say this to people, but you really need to watch more t.v.

yeah I don't quite get why its to revered, gave it a shot on netflix and didn't find it be all that entertaining, just lacked interesting story lines. I'm also just not a fan of the sorkin dialogue some seem to love so much.

I love the West Wing and The Newsroom, but I can see where this can be an issue. I catch myself sometimes cringing at some dialogue upon rewatches.
I feel like a large majority (obviously not all, the dialogue is a solid complaint IMO) of the hate for The West Wing and Newsroom type shows are largely because people think it pushes a liberal agenda though.

I think it's more that some people either agree with the crap in the show or have the ability to separate a show from real life politics. Everything I've taken from both of the Sorkin shows are the stories, not what they're agendas are in telling them.
My family as a whole is as conservative as can be, but despite me liking Sorkin's shows, my parents won't entertain the idea
