LA Law vs. M*A*S*H
The West Wing never ceases to amaze me. Now remember I'm here in Europe and the TV stuff we get over here is well, worse. Anyway, in case you haven't seen the last episode of West Wing - make sure you grab it off the Net and take a look. A live episode that featured the debate between Matt Santos and Arnold Vinick.
Being somewhat older than many of you, I still see Jimmy Smits as Victor Sifuentes from LA Law (that was back in 86) and of course Alan Alda will always be Hawkeye.
But they are both so so good in West Wing and both the screenplay and writing still manages to captivate me - even in the 7th season. My wife thinks I'm kind of wacky when I spend 3 episodes in front of the laptop (last night) catching up with a series that is so American it loses me in various places. But, as I've said often enough, West Wing is the series to watch if you want to learn about the US political system.
