@Chris has got to be trolling me at this point putting my #1 show of all time against my #2.

The West Wing is so in my top 3 ever. Still holds up. The show which fave America faith in politics again. Guess it’s due a reboot?

I would be up for Jimmy Smit’s character to return too.

 

[John McHenry]

I would be up for Jimmy Smit’s character to return too.

Well If you do it off of real time he'd be out and we'd be likely be 4 presidents after bartlet? Be interesting to see the douche speaker of the house guy as president do it from a republican angle. Especially since Sorkin is republic and did such a phenomenal job writing for democrats. I sadly don't think we'll ever get it.
