West Wing II

Another episode in the series I liked was an early one. Early in the campaign, Bartlett was dragging his feet, surly and not even remembering the names of his staff members. Then Josh's father dies on the night Bartlett wins, and Bartlett goes to the airport, confesses his bad attitude, and offers to go home for the funeral with Josh.

I appreciate the spunk and independence of Bartlett's wife even in her post as First Lady. I enjoyed the created glimpses into Bartlett's early life with a pompous ogre of a father. It was fun to watch the camaraderie of the staff. C. J. Cregg as the president's spokesperson was a model of an articulate, compassionate, strong woman.

Are there other episodes you would like to recount?
