You a fan? You gotta have it!

It is so much more than I expected. Each season comes in a "file" shaped folder and the set includes two books: an original script by Aaron Sorkin (pilot) and a full chapter guide. If you liked the series, you cannot buy another season separately: get the complete series. October 10, 2008

Excellent Buy!

I've only ever purchased TV shows by downloading them online, so this was my first purchase of the actual media and I'm very happy with it. This was a great way to package this series. Very elegant case with folders for each season inside. It's nice to have it all in one package instead of having to deal with 7 packages (one per season). Given the fact that this holds 7 season worth of shows, I think it was a great deal for the price. It uses a magnetic clasp to hold the lid closed which works perfectly for this case. Anyone who loves this series will be very happy with this collection. September 16, 2008

Currently overpriced for market

This is a great product and one of the greatest series for television ever done. But, considering it has been two years since it went off the air, I think the discount price on the collection could be better. September 12, 2008

The greatest TV show in history...PERIOD!

The seven seasons which make up "The West Wing" was the greatest television show in history. Well don't take my word for it take the numerous emmy nominations and wins it won. Lets break down why this show worked so well.

- Aaron Sorkin brilliantly interwove banter in a usually boring political setting.

- The cast was brilliantly picked and worked very well together. Each cast member had their own story lines which gave us a taste of what these very public figures were dealing with in their personal lives.

- The show had amazing guest stars and always brought back key guest stars through out the seasons with out casting different actors to portray said parts.

- The story lines were actually believable and gripping as well!

- There was no bad season (Of course there were episodes that were better than others but each season stands on its own)

- The show has a powerful and fulfilling series finale.

- The show was just written well.

I enjoy this show so much and never tire from watching it over and over again. It's rare when a show like this comes along and we are lucky to have seven full seasons.

The show focuses on the presidential term of democratic president "Josiah (Jed) Bartlett" and his senior staff as they run the white house and the United States Of America. The show begins in the second year of his term and follows his term through campaign re-election, an assassination attempt, the kidnapping of his daughter, the assassination of a foreign leader suspected of being a terrorist, numerous scandals involving his senior staff and the rocky relationship with his wife the first lady all the way through the swearing in of the next president. And these are only a few of the events that take place throughout the series. Now you may think, "How unbelievable!" but you will be amazed at how well these story lines play and believable they are. You will laugh, you will cry, you will get angry and you will cheer but more than anything you will not forget the impact this show made in television history. Welcome to "The West Wing".
