 Excellent Buy! September 16, 2008
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.

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.
If you are a fan you'll love this collection August 5, 2008
If you were/are a die hard fan of the West Wing, then this is definately the box set you will want.
The greatest TV show in history...PERIOD! August 4, 2008
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".
The Very Best TV Series of all Time!!!! July 31, 2008

I'm 61 years of age. As a child I watched the very birth of Television. I've seen all the classic TV Series'. The Series of The West Wing created and largely written by Aaron Sorkin is the best of them all. My family has dubbed me as a hopeless Churchillian. Indeed I am!! I am also a hopeless West Wing addict. A fine Vodka or fine Scotch along with an episode of the West Wing and I'm in Heaven. I can recite the lines before they are spoken. If I could rate 6 Stars I would!!
The writing throughout is excellent. Even when Sorkin leaves, the quality is maintained. The acting is beyond reproach. Each casting member is ideal to their respective scenarios. In all, we will learn how our government operates. Even if you are a Republican you can identify with your Party and be proud. This is indeed a slant of a Liberal President, however it is written to see both sides of the political spectrum.
The Series lasted for 154 episodes and Seven Seasons. The major players are really too long to list. My favorites are Alan Alda, Dule Hill, Allison Janney, Robert Lowe, Janel Maloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford, Jimmy Smits and of course Martin Sheen.
My all-time top ten favorite episodes in order of the very best are:
1. In Excelsis Deo
2. Two Cathedrals
3. Holy Night
4. 20 Hours in America
5. The Two Bartlets
6. Mr. Willis of Ohio
7. Lord John Marbury
8. The Long Goodbye
9. Twenty Five
10. The Supremes
In all we find drama, comedy and educational thought into the very essence of American political behavior. Please do purchase this complete Series, you will not be disappointed.
