The West Wing Pilot or: How I Fell in Love with Political Dramas

from Kicking & Streaming · host Carie & Ross

This week we take a long-winded stab at covering television. Our resident West Wing scholar, Ross, is here to tell us how this show came to be, how it stands up to history, and the craft of Aaron Sorkin. Carie is mostly here to fawn over Robe Lowe.
