Oh man. John Spencer. What a gem. Leo was the kind of guy that you’d work those long hours for happily because you knew he was leading you into the righteous fight. I get it 100% when President Bartlet says that Josh doesn’t wanna be the guy, but the guy that the other guy counts on. I wouldn’t wanna let Leo down either.

@@ltrillium1000 It was certainly an uphill battle, as the character as written was much less likeable than the others, but a better actress could have saved the character by, at a minimum, portraying her in a way that is fun to watch, rather than annoying, or even possibly helping the writers to discover interesting aspects about her, and then evolve her in a different direction.

We would have to ban lawyers, then. Bartlett was a Nobel winning economist (yes, I know it isn’t technically a Nobel Prize, but I am too lazy to look it up, and you’d be to lazy to look it up if I got the right name), as well as ex-Governor of New Hampshire, which his family was big in founding, supposedly.

Lol look at Sorkin😂

Wonder if Rob Lowe still watched the show after he was no longer in it.

Their optimism about the show was correct. Lowe and Sheen were the biggest stars at the time. I can understand Lowe being frustrated in such a large ensenble. Non of the romantic pairings seemed to work out, except between Jeb and Abby.

Such a shame Spencer passed and zapped their momentum to make an 8th season, focused entirely on the transition and a Vinick win instead. Would've been really interesting to see how they did it.

When Trump was in office, I thought of this show so often, and weeped.

If I recall correctly, in Season 2 or 3 several top-billed cast members got raises, and that may have gotten them closer to what RL was making; he found out, asked for a raise and was told no. At least that's how I remember it; it's been a while.

Its the juxtaposition of these characters' being exceptional and hugely powerful, and also living their everyday lives alongside that, and making silly jokes, and doing more normal human things aswell.

When anyone who has spent any kind of time in and/or around the business knows they took the job because they passed an audition against 15 other names of equal stature. If they hadn't gotten this job they'd have been doing Friday the 13th part 9 if offered that part.

I get a kick out of arm-chair critics who think they know what really goes on in the TV/film industry, and presume to tell us that they know the truth. I do know that Rob Lowe and Martin Sheen did NOT audition, but were specifically asked to do the show because Aaron Sorkin said so. Same for Bradley Whitford. They did do a reading, which is fairly normal, according to interviews. Many of the rest of the cast were specifically requested to audition, and had minimal competition. Most of my information came from several interviews with cast and production staff, especially an interview in The Hollywood Reporter.

It's about Bill Clinton

I thought it was a great show and never watched a single episode whilst on TV. Only saw it when the series was given to me as a DVD gift. The one scene that I wish they had not done was Alison Janney doing the jackal. It was sexist and gratuitous. Her character must have fought hard against it and in the end she lost. In hindsight, the series, while on of the best I have ever seen certainly had its cringe producing moments. The scene with Josh and Sam congratulating each other for having one night stands is certainly one, Toby had too many patronizing and insulting comments - too many to count, Bartlett looking up in the sky asking a Mars rover to "talk to us." and the worst of all - Josh imitating Marlee Matlin's voice and pronunciation of words as a deaf person. OMG how rude and insensitive.
