  • West Wing A Democratic candidate... | Today's News: Our Take | 3/27/2006
    West WingA Democratic candidate turns to a New Jersey rock star in the waning days of a presidential campaign? C'mon. That would never happen in real life. I guess Santos is trying to turn the election into a "Runaway" by having Jon Bon Jovi rock the vote. (Remember in Season 4, when WW featured cameos by the likes of Barenaked Ladies and Aimee Mann? Doesn't that seem a really long time ago?) But it's no easy task with all the chaos of the campaign trail: Helen's quote in favor of ex-con... read more
  • The West Wing is — to quote ... | Today's News: Our Take | 3/22/2006
    Question: The West Wing is — to quote the youngest first daughter — "death on a Triscuit" without Stockard Channing. When, oh when, is she coming back?! Answer: She'll resurface in both the April 16 episode and the May 14 finale.  read more
  • Could you clear up some ... | Matt Roush | 3/20/2006
    Question: Could you clear up some confusion for me? Is Aaron Sorkin returning to write a few episodes for The West Wing? I know Rob Lowe is returning, which should be outstanding, but if Aaron Sorkin returned to write an episode or two, that would just be fantastic. I hope the series ends with Bartlet shutting the door of the Oval Office. That would be a fitting end to the series. I don't want the series to end with Santos or Vinick taking his place in the Oval Office. It just wouldn't end... read more
  • It's only Monday and I'm already... | Matt Roush | 3/13/2006
    It's only Monday and I'm already exhausted from all the great TV exploding from both fronts, network and cable. What a great relief, by the way, that the season finale of Battlestar Galactica and the season opener of The Sopranos are finally behind us. It has been hard beyond belief keeping my trap shut about these remarkable series, because (from my chair) spoilers are verboten. First off, that audacious Galactica finale, with President Roslyn conceding the election after dabbling in... read more
  • West Wing The Sopranos aren't... | Today's News: Our Take | 3/13/2006
    West WingThe Sopranos aren't the only long-lost friends returning tonight. After almost two months, The West Wing is back. Remember when there used to be actual television seasons, starting in the fall and ending in the summer? Honestly, George Lucas wasted less time between Star Wars episodes than these guys. Now the lame-duck series can finally begin its swan song. For longtime Wing fans, the show's cancellation is bittersweet. It's definitely time to wrap it up, but we just hope the series... read more
  • SAM HE STILL AM | Today's News: Our Take | 3/1/2006
    It's official: As speculated ever since it was announced that this is The West Wing's final season, original cast member Rob Lowe will return for the series' last two episodes, reprising his role of Sam Seaborn. Also resurfacing for one or more of West Wing's final five episodes are Mary-Louise Parker, Anna Deavere Smith, Emily Procter, Marlee Matlin, Gary Cole, Tim Matheson, Timothy Busfield and Annabeth Gish. But, alas, no Mrs. Landingham; besides being, well, dead, she's also busy yelling at... read more
  • Now that both Matthew Perry ... | Matt Roush | 2/13/2006
    Question: Now that both Matthew Perry and Steven Weber (and D.L. Hughley) have signed on to Aaron Sorkin's Studio 7 on the Sunset Strip, do you think NBC will give the show ER's current "must-see" Thursday time slot? After all, Perry (Friends) and Weber (Wings) are both former Thursday residents and many have suggested that perhaps ER finally needs a new night for its old age. Or do you think Studio 7 will get one of the vacated West Wing time slots (Sundays at 8 pm/ET or Wednesdays... read more
  • When The West Wing closes ... | Matt Roush | 2/10/2006
    Question: When The West Wing closes down for good on May 14, Bartlet & Co. will leave and a new president will be sworn in. What a simply perfect way for a show to end — when it's supposed to! It's no secret that the series lost a lot of fans and critical appreciation after Aaron Sorkin left three years ago. So here's my question: Years from now, when you think back to The West Wing, how will you remember it? Will you remember a top-notch Emmy-winning drama that influenced the face of... read more
  • Is there any chance that ... | Today's News: Our Take | 2/8/2006
    Question: Is there any chance that we're going to see West Wing's Bradley Whitford join Matthew Perry and Amanda Peet in Studio 60 next season?Answer: Both sides continue to talk, but, according to a source, "there's no firm deal by any means." read more
  • Where the heck has Dule ... | Today's News: Our Take | 2/8/2006
    Question: Where the heck has Dule Hill's Charlie disappeared to on The West Wing? Did the prez have him exiled after catching him sneaking out of his daughter's bedroom?Answer: The entire cast — Dule included — had their episode orders slashed this season. But a NBC rep assures me that "you will see Dule again." read more
  • How Will The West Wing Say Goodbye? | Today's News: Our Take | 2/6/2006
    During this, The West Wing's seventh season, the NBC drama's producers have had to make one difficult decision after another. When should the on-screen election air? Who should win? Could the show continue on past this season, following Bartlet's successor? In the wake of original cast member John Spencer's sudden passing, how should Leo's absence be addressed? And lastly, once it was determined that this would in fact be the final season, how should the show come to an end? Thinking... read more
  • I know that Sandra Oh and ... | Matt Roush | 1/30/2006
    Question: I know that Sandra Oh and Patrick Dempsey are getting all the award nominations for Grey's Anatomy, but after watching some recent episodes, T.R. Knight has been the standout for me. In "Begin the Begin" he helped a teenage girl understand what she really wanted to be in life, and in "Tell Me Sweet Little Lies," he and Carole Cook had maybe the best scene I've seen in this show since Cristina screamed and sobbed, "Somebody sedate me!" Knight has finally... read more
  • As entertaining as 24 is and ... | Matt Roush | 1/30/2006
    Question: As entertaining as 24 is and has been, I have a tiny complaint that I hope doesn't signal things to come. Is it just me or have they milked that CTU mole thing a bit too much? It seems like every season someone sneaks into CTU who shouldn't be there. I was hoping this season would spare us that plotline, but, once again, it wasn't too shocking this week when Chloe's boyfriend turned out to be a spy. Maybe it is a sign that they should quit before we start to notice more... read more
  • The West Wing There was radioactive... | Today's News: Our Take | 1/29/2006
    The West Wing There was radioactive — and political — fallout in the air with tonight's Three Mile Island-meets-Hurricane Katrina scenario. In a classic example of West Wing wish fulfillment, we got to see how the Bartlet Administration might handle a massive national disaster. In a word: well. From the emergency's get-go, Bartlet took command with his "the buck stops with me" leadership style. (Hmmm, wonder what the writers were getting at there?) From venting the radiation to asking the... read more

  • What in the name of god is ... | Matt Roush | 1/27/2006
    Question: What in the name of god is happening at Commander in Chief? Three or four months ago, ABC fired [series creator] Rod Lurie and brought in Steven Bochco. The show was getting a great deal of publicity and was doing great in the ratings. I really thought that the character of Mackenzie Allen was inspired and a role model for women all over the world. Why they got rid of Lurie is still baffling, but since then the show has taken a horrible turn. The president has now made her... read more
  • So, now that The West Wing is ... | Today's News: Our Take | 1/25/2006
    Question: So, now that The West Wing is coming to an end, is there any hope for us Josh and Donna fans, or will John Wells exile them to the planet of Unresolved Sexual Tension?  Answer: How much do I love you guys? So much that this was the first question I asked John Wells when I tackled him Sunday following NBC's West Wing session at press tour. I think you'll like his answer: "One of the great things when you know the show is ending [is that] you can actually do stuff that you probably... read more
  • Any truth to the rumors of a ... | Today's News: Our Take | 1/25/2006
    Question: Any truth to the rumors of a possible Rob Lowe appearance in the West Wing finale? Answer: John Wells confirmed that an offer is out to him, so the proverbial ball is in his court. read more
  • What are the chances that The ... | Today's News: Our Take | 1/25/2006
    Question: What are the chances that The West Wing will end as great as it began? BTW, you crazy in a good way! Answer: Considering John Wells told me exactly how the show will end, I'll let you be the judge. "The last scene will either be the new president entering the oval office or it will be Bartlet on Air Force One heading back to New Hampshire, standing up from behind the desk, coming around and sitting on the sofa next to Abbey. We'll shoot them both and one of them will be the... read more
  • WING HAS NO PRAYER | Today's News: Our Take | 1/23/2006
    As Michael Ausiello first reported on Sunday, NBC has announced that The West Wing will air its final episode on May 14, not long after the show's presidential election is settled and Jed Bartlet's successor is named. Producers have revealed that the swan song, to be preceded that night by an hourlong retrospective, may feature the return of original cast member Rob Lowe, but not of series creator Aaron Sorkin. read more

Premise: The celebrated ensemble drama following a U.S. president and his staff as they set public policy and face personal problems in a `parallel universe' (as one of the series' executive producers called it) that can be remarkably similar to the real one. An Emmy juggernaut (four Best Drama awards in its first four seasons) as well as a Peabody winner, `Wing' was the brainchild of writer Aaron Sorkin (`The American President'), who left after the fourth season, when John Wells (`ER') took over.
