Editor's Note The trials and tribulations of President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) continue in this seventh season of the popular drama series. The life of his backroom staff and family fall under as much scrutiny as the man himself, offering a fascinating glimpse at what life as the President of the United States could be like. This time out the race to replace Bartlet heats up, with Senator Arnold Vinick (Alan Alda) and Congressman Mathew Vincente (Jimmy Smits) vying to take over at the Oval Office. Also included is a special episode titled "The Debate," which originally aired live on NBC. Having won countless Emmy Awards, THE WEST WING is a firm favorite with American TV audiences.

In an interview in the West Wing DVD package, creator Aaron Sorkin says that he had wanted to write about what happens in the minutes before and after the public political moments in Washington, DC. As the world now knows, he succeeded admirably when he created this often-decorated TV series set in the West Wing of the White House. Not only does it illuminate the people behind the scenes, but it does so with a style and substance rarely found in a weekly series. Added to Sorkin's exquisite dialogue are performances to die for and impressive re-creations of the sights and sounds of the office of the President. - Elaine Spooner

DVD Talk 10 of 10
Every ten years or so, a show comes along that reminds you just how good television can be. A show that challenges conventional wisdom and wins. A show that leaves you speechless. The West Wing is such a show...The writing for this show is excellent. From the characterization, to the plots, to the dialog, every aspect of it is outstanding. The solid scripts gives the series a sound foundation that the actors and directors build on...The dialog in the show is wonderful to listen to. The lines are very fast paced, but they have a good rhythm. - John Sinnott

It may just be the finest prime-time drama ever to grace the airwaves. The smart, snappy zingers of office politics meet the Gordian knots of global politics behind the scenes at the White House of the Bartlet administration, full of intelligent, compassion people you can't help but wish were more than the stuff of civic fantasy. The highly honored debut season of The West Wing, which won every award from the Emmy (the most ever for a freshman series) to the prestigious Peabody, is a gift to lovers of superlative television. - MaryAnn Johanson
