I have been a Sorkin fan for years now, and personally think the West Wing was never as good after he left at the end of season 4. <p> I strongly suggest to Mikal that he get a hold of the show Sports Night which predates West Wing and was a brilliant show, also a Sorkin brain child, with many of the same actors at times (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165961/">Joshua Malina</a> for example has had major roles in both, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005031/">Felicity Huffman</a> has appeared in West Wing, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0597223/">Janel Maloney</a> has appeared in Sports Night, etc etc) <p> Though I have not yet seen it, and it has not received great reviews in the US, the new post West Wing show from Sorkin, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485842/">Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip</a> probably still has some classic Sorkinesque banter and writing and is likely to be entertaining also. Ahh Aaron Sorkin and Joss Wheedon, without the two of them no television out of the US would not have been worth watching in the past 10 years I think.
