THE WEST WING SEASON 5(1999)
One of the best TV series ever(at leat the first four
seasons) starring Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe, Allison Janney,
John Spencer, Bradley Whitford, Janel Moloney, Richard
Schiff, Dule Hill, Joshua Malina, Stockard Channing and
others!
I guess it's pretty obvious what the shows about, a first
term President and his cabinet and the workings inside
the West Wing!!

The only strike against this show is that it shows the
President smoking - a lot!!

Reviewer From IMDb.com:
Just started re watching this amazing series again, which
may be a mistake as I can now see several weeks of zero
sleep coming up! Brilliantly written, acted, produced and
directed. Faultless from the very first introduction. Would
and have reccomended this to anyone who has any sort of
interest in quality TV. - billyl-10881
