re: The West Wing.

I've been addicted to TV my whole life (like any of you fine people!) and West Wing represents a watershed moment for me. It came out when I was a sophomore in High School, growing up, young-adulting like a mofo, and it was the first time I really got invested, i was experiencing something instead of just watching a tv show. It never talked down to the audience, it assumed we were as smart as it was and went from there. It was the first and to this date only series I "made plans" for. I wouldn't do anything sunday nights (later tuesday) and if I did then the VCR was set up to record (old man take a look at your life). Never missed a first run episode, and like many of you rewatch all the time. I can't imagine having another answer to the question "what's your favorite tv show?"
