The West Wing

Over the past 4 days, most of which I spent sick in bed, I have watched the entire 7th and final season of The West Wing. I started watching this show in high school when it was on TV. It was one of the few things that my family could agree to and in fact made time to watch together. At that point, my parents had already been watching for a couple years so I missed the first few seasons. Nevertheless I enjoyed it immensely and it was and remains (in my opinion) the best television show I've seen.

In first year, I got it into my head that I would like to watch the entire show from start to finish so I set out to acquire it. I didn't really want to pay for it (I am a little ashamed of this) so I looked on DC++ to discover that unfortunately, it was not there. It seemed the average university student did not share my love for this show (this didn't surprise, but did disappoint me). Instead, I acquired it through other means. I began watching during Christmas after 1A and I've steadily made progress since. This spring, my project nearly suffered a major setback as I accidentally formatted my hard drive and lost the entire show. Fortunately, by this point the student body had become more enlightened and I was able to easily reacquire the episodes from DC++.

Now, my project is complete and I have watched the entire show. I wouldn't recommend this show to everyone, it isn't filled with action, laughter, or excitement, but I would recommend it to anyone with a penchant for political intrigue.

The West Wing has filled many hours of time that would otherwise have been much less fulfilling. Hopefully I can find something just as stimulating to fill that time now.
